The Related Research Between Body Mass Index And Physical Fitness Indicator Of College Students

Body mass index (BMI) is usual taken as one of the major factors to judge the fatness by international. The grade of BMI is the embodiment of not only constitution but also the health status. This thesis took Wuhan undergraduates as the object using the way of referring to literatures, comparative analysis, correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA analysis, etc. The main purpose is to investigate the body mass index (BMI) to understand undergraduates'constitution situation and the relationship between body mass index and physical fitness indicate of collage students. Then we gave suggestions about exercise means, nutritional meal, and physical education.From the study about Wuhan undergraduates between 2007 and 2006, we knew 75% undergraduates in normal BMI grade(range: 18.5-24); but some undergraduates show overweight and even fat because of incorrect diet and living habit. And there is an obvious trend about overweight and fat among undergraduates.From the study about the relationship between BMI and physical health index, we could get below conclusion:The relationship present negative correlation between BMI and the lung capacity, endurance run, standing long jump, with sign certainly the broad-jump take related. But the relationship is not distinct between BMI and steps testing, throwing solid ball. Therefore, the excess or obese bring about bigger and negative influence on the lung function, aerobic exercise capacity, jumping ability and explosive leg strength and cardiovascular system function. The relationship between BMI and steps testing and throwing solid ball should be further researched later on.
