“…The result of the study is in line with the result of the study conducted by Knaeps et al, (2017)who studied 296 participants (male and female) to examine the relationship between physical activity, measured by SenseWear Pro Armband, and physical fitness, measured by fitness index. The result of the study shows that the more active a person in doing physical activity, the higher the physical fitness they have.…”

“…The results showedthat there were no significant differences between the inactive group and active group in relation to their BMI, body fat percentage, hip-to-waist ratio, waist circumference,and VO2max. On the other hand, several studiesfound different results, such as the results of the study conducted by Knaeps et al, (2017) that found that as long as the intensity of physical activity is high, health-related fitness will also be high.…”

“…Health-Related fitness is divided into four components, includingcardiorespiratory fitness (symbolized as Vo2max),muscular fitness(consists of Push-up and Curl-Up), flexibility, and body composition (consists of Body Mass Index and Body Fat Percentage) (Ferguson, 2014). The research related to balanced physical activity treatment with FITT (frequency, intensity, time, and type) concept could improve Health-Related Fitness (Carrick-Ranson et al, 2014;Knaeps, Bourgois, Charlier, Mertens, & Lefevre, 2017;Martinez-Gomez et al, 2012;Moore, Beets, Barr-Anderson, & Evenson, 2013;Raudsepp & Päll, 2006). Unfortunately, research examining the impact of an active lifestyle without treatments on Health-Related Fitnessis limited.…”

The purpose of the study was to clarify the effects of physical activity on physical fitness. The study was conducted undercomparative study design. The participants of the study were 322 sophomore students (92 male students, 230 female students, 23.5 years old). Physical fitness was measured by Fitnessgram (PACER, Push-Up, Curl-Up, Sit and Reach) as well as body fat percentage by skinfold caliper and Body Mass Index by height. The data related tostudents' physical activity were collected by distributing the Short-Form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire containing questions about students' vigorous activity, moderate activity, walking activity, and sitting time in the last 7 days. The data of participants were categorized into high level, moderate level, and low level of physical activity. The results show that there are significant differences on Curl-Up, Push-Up, and Flexibility scores of the students from the three different levels of physical activity. Students with higher physical activity level gain higher scores on the test. There are no significant differences in Vo2max, BMI, and Body fat percentage. Students with high level physical activity has a better muscle strength and endurance and better flexibility but need to exercise to get better cardiorespiratory fitness.

“…Relevant studies indicate that physical inactivity is not only an independent risk factor for chronic diseases such as hypertension (4), heart disease (5) and 2 diabetes mellitus (6), but also has a serious negative impact on physical fitness, which leads to massive social issues (7). Globally, 80% of adolescents are lacking in physical activity; "low physical activity-high sedentary time" has become a widely-used descriptor of current physical inactivity among adolescents (8)(9)(10). The latest WHO guidelines recommend that children and adolescents should engage in an average of 60 min per day of moderate to high intensity exercise (mainly aerobic exercise), and limit sedentary time, especially screen time (11).…”

Physical Activity, Screen-Based Sedentary Behavior and Physical Fitness in Chinese Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2021

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between screen-based sedentary behavior, physical activity and physical fitness among Chinese adolescents.Methods: This study randomly selected adolescents from 10 administrative districts in Shandong, China. The data gathering tools for demographic and other characteristics (gender, age, body mass index and socioeconomic status), PA (PAQ-A) and screen-based sedentary behavior (YRBSS) and physical fitness (NSPFH 2014) were utilized in this study. Statistical analysis was performed by T-test, chi-square test and multiple linear regression.Results: 10,002 adolescents (14.39 years ± 1.79) participated in the study. The results demonstrated that BMI and high TV viewing time had a significant negative correlation with physical fitness, but there was no association between the amount of time spent playing computer/video games and physical fitness among adolescents. High SES and physical activity in leisure time five or more times per week were significantly associated with most dimensions of physical fitness.Conclusions: the results suggest that we not only need to focus on adolescent risk behavior associated with low socioeconomic status and obesity, but also enforce physical activity and reduce sedentary television-watching behavior, which will be crucial pathways and strategies to improve the physical fitness of Chinese adolescents.

“…Every provincial office of education, including the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, endeavors to improve the health of students with PAPS scores between the 4 and 5 ranges. A number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of health-related physical fitness classes, in both addressing the problem once it arises, and preventing the problem from emerging [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Kim (2002) demonstrated that students with poor HrPF scores voluntarily and actively participated in the sports they were interested in, and showed a desire to continue to participate in the exercise programs [ 25 ].…”

(1) Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate if an after-school intervention program could prevent obesity and promote the physical fitness of urban sedentary school children. (2) Methods: A 16-week after-school physical fitness program was provided to 36 middle school students (7th, 8th, and 9th graders) recruited from a middle school for three days a week. They were high-risk youth showing poor health status (level 4 or 5) in the regular physical fitness evaluation conducted. Their body mass index (BMI), cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, quickness, and flexibility were evaluated. (3) Results: A paired sample t-test was used (α = 0.05). There were statistical differences ((x ± s), p < 0.05) between the pre-Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) (13.36 ± 4.98 (# of laps)) and post-PACER (18.64 ± 6.31 (# of laps)) (p < 0.001), between the pre-sit-up (18.06 ± 7.22 (# of sit-ups)) and post-sit-up (24.89 ± 7.52 (# of sit-ups)) (p < 0.001), and between the pre-Trunk Flexion (2.64 ± 3.49 ((cm))) and post-Trunk Flexion (5.97 ± 2.78 ((cm)) (p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between the pre-50m-Run (10.74 ± 1.30 ((sec))) and post-50m-Run results (10.69 ± 1.25 (sec)) (p = 0.063) or between the pre-BMI (24.84 ± 3.97 (kg/m2)) and post-BMI (24.76 ± 3.61 (kg/m2)) (p = 0.458). Overall, the physical fitness measures improved, whereas BMI did not change after 16 weeks. (4) Conclusion: Sixteen weeks of the school-based Health-related Physical Fitness (HrPF) program can be effective in improving overall physical fitness levels of adolescents, although additional treatments would be required to change BMI, which showed no improvement in the present study. It is concluded that in order for adolescents to maintain and promote physical fitness and health, participation in a school-based HrPF program is recommended for at least 30 min a day, three days a week. In addition, schools should provide high-risk youth with easy access to physical activities that are similar to the objectives of the physical education curriculum. In order to promote the health of school-age children, each school should establish and operate school-based systematic intervention programs.
