In order to make a study of the Koeran women´s physical fitness, an intensive survey has been done on 70 members of the Slimless Class in Y.N.C.A.,and 14 members of the girls´ athletic training group at Tai-Nung Training Center.
The method and items of the test are based on the Profile Chart of the Physical Fitness for Adult Women, by the Fitness Research Center, University of Illinois.
The results were as follows:
1) Body Type: The house-wives nearly "average",while players showed "very good,"
2) Flexibility: The wives attained "good,"marks, while the players "very good."
3) Stength: The wives attained below marks "average," while the players received "good."
4) Motor Ability The wives attained "average,"while the players were "excellent."
5) Endurance: Wives were "fair," while the plauers were "good."
6) The wives´shoulder flexibility was the highest, but the players got the highest marks for 18 items. Both teams were low for flutter kicks.
7) The wives showed higher body flexibility for 20 years old than for 30 years old, and the same motor ability as above.
Seeing the results shown as the above, adult woman´s physical fitness is attributed to "average"in accordance with the profile Chart,while the players marks were "very good".
Flexibility and motor ability are superior in comparison with other elements, strength and endurance are low. so that more training is required in this field, for both players and house-wives.
