성인남성의 건강체력추진에 관한 기초적 연구 = A Pilot Study Estimate Health Related fitness for Adults

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Principal component analysis and Multiple regression method were applied, for the assessment of health related fitness age(more frequently term the biological age), to the data for 11 physical fitness and anthropometric variables.
Subjects were 200 Korean men, aged 20 to 63 years, who were recruited in a series of tests for physical fitness and anthropometry. Analyses of the data revealed that, out of the 11 variables examined, 6 variables were suitable for the assessment of health related fitness age, and that the subjects were approximately 5 years younger when compared to their chronological age.
The developed equation for the estimation of health related fitness age(HFA) was HFA = 69.151 -0.146X_1,-0.055X_2-0.678X_3-13.784X_4-0.463X_5-0.054X_6; where X_1=VO_2max(㎖/㎏/min), X_2 = trunk flexion(㎝), X_3 = Sit-ups, X_4 = whole body reaction time(sec), X_5 = vertical jump(㎝), and X_6 = one foot balance with eyes closed(sec).
Since independent variables of this equation included health related physical fitness, we defined the score obtained from the equation as "health related fitness age(HFA)" .The equation of HFA was considered useful for evaluating ability of health re lated fitness in adulthood.
