Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To compare and analyze the index characteristics relevant to the body shapes, physical functions and physical qualities of adult males in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong, based on the statistics of the second National Physical Fitness Monitoring in these three regions. METHODS: The physical fitness indexes were looked up from the "National Physical Fitness Monitoring Bulletin" issued by the National Physical Education Office and Physical Education Offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong. Then these indexes were divided by age groups of 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54 and 55-59 years, to receive statistical processing and comparative analysis through Microsoft Excel. RESULTS: Body shape: ①The adult males in both Shanghai and Beijing were taller than those in Guangdong. ②The weight, Quetelet index, chest circumference and waist line indexes followed by ascending were Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing. ③ The body mass indexes in all age groups followed by ascending were Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing. Physical functions: ①The diastolic pressure and vital capacity indexes followed by ascending were Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.②For the adult males less than 30-34 ages, the highest step-test index was in Guangdong, and Shanghai came the second. Physical quality:①The index of antexion with sitting position in all age groups in Shanghai were higher than in Beijing and Guangdong.②The choice reaction time indexes of adult males in all age groups in Shanghai were the highest among the three regions. CONCLUSION: ①The statures of males in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong have been rising at a quick speed and will last a long time, and the rising speed in Guangzhou is relatively slow. ②The overweight phenomenon of adult males in Beijing and Shanghai tends to begin at a younger age, and the overweight range tends to increase with age. ③The physique indexes of adult males in Shanghai are better than those in Beijing and Guangdong, except the overweight index.
