비만여성의 신체능력에 관한 검증

It has been reported that obesity not only causes a disease risk but also affects physical abilities. However, there are no reports that made clear the secular trend of physical ability for obese people. In this study, we tried to analyze the various physical fitness of female university students with BMI value of more than 30, and to examine the characteristics of physical abilities of them. Height and weight were measured as physique items, and BMI (weight/ height²) was calculated. As physical fitness items, grip strength, vertical jump, sidesteps, sit-ups, cardiorespiratory fitness, close-eyes foot balance, trunk flexion in standing position were measured. We calculated the mean values, standard deviations, ± 0.5SD and ±1.5SD for physical fitness items in each school year and applied the wavelet interpolation method (WIM) to the obtained data to construct a 5-step evaluation chart for each physical fitness item. Based on the obtained evaluation chart, we analyzed the physical ability of the obese people. As a result, obese people were shown to be inferior to ability to move their bodies such as vertical jump, side steps, sit-ups and cardiorespiratory fitness. Thus, obese people have been shown that their body with fat affects physical abilities, so it was inferred that was prior to make obesity canceled to improve these physical abilities.
