Objective:
To analyze the trend of physical fitness of freshmen of Fujian Medical University from 2014 to 2022, so as to provide theoretical basis and reference for deepening the reform of physical education in medical colleges.
Methods:
Based on the physical examination and health monitoring data of 23 874 freshmen from Fujian Medical University during 2014 to 2022, Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the development trend of physical health of freshmen over the past 9 years.
Results:
From 2014 to 2022, there was an upward trend in height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and lung capacity among firstyear male students, firstyear girls showed an upward trend in height, weight, BMI, lung capacity, standing long jump, sitting forward bending, sit ups, and 800 meter run performance. From the perspective of effect size d and explanatory rate r2, male lung capacity (d=0.60) showed a moderate effect, while the lung capacity (d=0.81) and sit ups (d=1.01) of female students showed a moderate effect,and sitting forward flexion (d=0.57) showed a large effect (P<0.01).
Conclusions
Physical form level of freshmen have steadily improved during 2014 to 2022. Female students show a more clear increasing trend in standing long jump, sitting forward bending, sit ups, and 800 meter run.
