Effects of Aerobics on Physical Fitness of Female University Students in Physical Education

Abstract

Introduction: Aerobic gymnastics will be implemented in several universities’ physical education elective course schedules due to its unique advantages, including lower physical environment demands and rapid applicability. Objective: Study the effects of physical training with aerobic gymnastics on the physical fitness of female university students. Methods: The controlled experiment was performed on female undergraduate students of the physical education course at a university. The volunteers were divided into a control group, subjected to the existing aerobics teaching plan, and the experimental group, which practiced an enhanced program compared to the existing aerobics teaching plan. The competitive aerobics physical training method, along with a 30-minute physical training plan, was performed in each class. Another course design and organization were performed according to the existing teaching plan. Results: The mean score of the experimental group before the experiment was 45.22; 49.36 in the second week; 55.22 in the fourth week, 62.89 in the sixth week, 70.2 at the eighth week, and 76.73 at the end of 10 weeks of training. Conclusion: The aerobic physical training program proposed in this work presented a better effect on the fitness gain of female university students. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
