This study applied to 121 male college students from 17 to 20 years.
Major objectives of this study were to find out basic information for body structure, physical fitness and performance of their future obtaining from the measurement, analysis and their correlations of physique, somatotype, body composition and the characteristics of physucal fitness.
Results were following;
1. Physique
① Physiques were similar to standard physique of Korean.
② The height, weight and bone breadth of femur were lower than those of the male students of Japanese college, but skinfold and muscle girth were higher.
2. Body Composition
① % Fat was lower than standard value of Korean, but higher than Japanese.
② Body density was similar to Korean, but lower than Japanese.
③ Ponderal Index was lower than Japanese, was on the decrease in proportion to their age.
3. Somatotype
① Mean somatotype(S) was 3.79-4.09-3.08, endomorphic mesomorph.
② Analysis of distribution in 13 somatotype categories showed that were 67 students in endomorphy and central type, 34 in mesomorphy, 20 in ectomorphy.
③ % Fat in ABL group, muscle area in DEF and Ponderal Index and height in HIJ were higher than other.
4. Physical fitness and performance
① Standing broad jump and grip strength were higher than physical fitness standard of Japanese, sargent jump was lower.
② Analysis of physical fitness and performance in 13 somatotype categories showed that a specific characteristic and a specific somatotype went together.
③ Physical fitness in ABL group generally belonged under medium and low-ranking. Strength in DEF and flexibility in HIJ were higher than others.
5. Effects of physigue, body composition and somatotype on physical fitness and performance
① The height, weight, LBM, muscle area, bone breadth, muscle girth, body density, mesomorphy(higher), total skinfold, % Fat, mesomorphy (lower) effected on power.
② The height, Weight(higher), others(medium) effected on flexibility.
③ The height, weight, bone breadth, muscle girth, LBM, mesomorphy, muscle area (higher), Ponderal Index, ectomorphy (lower) effected on grip strength.
6. correlation
① There were positive correlations between physcal fitness and height and weight.
② There were positive correlations between strength and bone breadth, muscle girth and muscle area.
③ There were positive correlations between power and strength and mesomorphy.
④ There were positive correlations standing broad jump and sargent jump and other physical fitness components.
⑤ There was definitly positive correlation between trunk flexion and trunk extension.
⑥ There was highly positive correlation between left and right grip strength.
