The propose of this study is to suggest material to improve the health and physical fitness of children through analyzing the structure of physical fitness skills by the relative analysis of the physical fitness examination with the children's growth.
For this study 2,000 students (each 1,000 boys and girls of age 6 to 17) were selected. The longitudinal material which was investigated through six kinds of physical fitness examinations was analyzed by the statistical method using SPSSx. The results are the following.
1) The boys in large cities (10-16)
The structure of the factors of the large city boy's physical fitness shows that form 10 to 16 their motor ability and fundamental physical fitness increase accordingly as the total variation of changes increase. The structure of the factor of physical fitness composes of Speed and Power from 10 to 14, and of much more power and Muscular Endurance form 15 to 16, but of no Cardiorespiratory Endurance.
2) The boys in small cities (10-16)
The structure of the factors of small city boy's physical fitness shows that form 10 to 16 the total variation is not great, and after 14 the importance of the fundamental physical fitness becomes less. The structure of physical fitness composes of Power and Muscular Endurance from 10 to 13 and at the age 16, and of Speed and power form 14 to 15. but of little Cardiorespiratory Endurance.
3) The girls in large cities (10-16)
The structure of the factors of large city girls' physical fitness shows that from 10 to 14 the importance of the total variation of changes becomes greater and after 14 becomes less. Until 14 their sports skills and fundamental physical fitness become greater but after 14 become less. The structure of physical fitness composes of speed and power and at the age 10, 13,15 power and Muscular Endurance and also at the age of 16 of Power and Cardiorespiratory Endurance.
4) The girls in small cities (10-16)
The structure of the factor of small city girl's physical fitness shows that form 10 to 15 the importance of the total variation of change becomes greater and after 16 becomes less. Generally, the importance of motor ability is greater than the fundamental physical fitness, but at the age of 10 and 16 the case is the reverse. The structure of physical fitness composes of Muscular Endurance and Poser and form 15 to 16 of also Muscular Endurance and Speed.
In conclusion, it is necessary to carry out a longitudinal study because individual adolescent children's body changes are rapid. Chronological age determines the present educational system regardless of the process of body development. However, it is essential to investigate the harmonious education of body and mind considering body development and physiological age. Also, it is necessary to reexamine types and methods of measurements in the examination of physical fitness to raise the objectivity and reliability.
