The purpose of this study is to investigate the present status of the female university students, so that data would be utilized as a reference in the devel-opment of an effective physical education program as well as in our training plans. The total of 576 female university students including athletes, physical education majors, and non-athletes were used as the subjects for this study. The athletic groups were there of swimming, track and field, gymnastics, volleyball, and handball.]The results are as following:
1. The Athletes were shown to be significantly distinct in cardio-vascular endurance, strenghth, flexibility, speed, power and muscular endurance.
2. In terms of physique, the lowest score was evidenced in gymnasts and lower scores in swimming, handball, track and field and volley-ball in that order.
Swimmers were the best among the athletic groups in cardio-vascular en-durance while they were the poorest in strength and power.
Track and feild athletes as well as volleyball player were shown to be excellent in strength, cardio-vascular endurance, power, and speed, while they were poor in muscular endurance and flexibility.
High scores of flexibility and muscular endurance along with a low score of cardio-vascular endurance were found in the gymnasts; whereas, the handball players showed high scores of push-up and broad jump with low scores of vertical jump and sit-up.
3. Relatively high correlations (P<.001) were found for the athletes betw-een measures of strength and power, while significant correlations were evidenced in th non-athletes between back strength and muscular endura-nce, between sit-up and power, and between speed and muscular endurance respectively.
For both the athletes and the non-athletes, significant correlations (P<.001) were found between speed and broad jump, between hand grip and body weight, and weight as weight as between items measuring the same factor.
