This paper has experimented with 50 students in Langfang Teachers College, who have trained to do standing exercise. Comparing their physical conditions before standing with those of after standing, the paper discusses whether the standing exercise can improve student physique effectively Physical test study adopts constitution test instruments. According to University Student Physical Health Standards, height, weight, vital capacity, standing long jump, step test, grip strength (for boys) and situp (for girls) are chosen to meet this end.And the results are as follows:1. Standing exercise can improve the functions of heart and lung,male increases 3.46%; females increases 3.76%;2. Standing exercise can raise the performance of standing long jump,male increases 2.58%; females increases 3.48%;3. Standing exercise can enhance the stamina of abdominal muscle,increases11.35%;4. Standing exercise has of male student standing less health,1.47%.5.Standing exercise can improve the capacity of lung,based on the frequency of breath,before exercises the numbers drops 8 per min,the recovery time drops 2 minutes.6. Standing exercise can improve the function of heart,based on the experimental steps index,male increases 10.08;females increases 8.13;when reaches the max Physical activity the heart rates drops 8 per minutes,when in static the heart rates drops 2 per minutes,the results differs a lot.
