A Investigation On The Body Morphology And Physical Functions Of Urban Females Between 46 And 50

Objective: Recently, with the fast development of economic the people's living conditions have great improvement, to lead to more eat, less activity, so there are more and more obesity ,it threaten people's health greatly. This research used scientific methods to test and measurement and to evaluate individual body morphology, physical functions and physical quality to judge whether the level of health constitution of nowdays urban females between 46 and 50 accord with phusical fitness measurement standards of nation, and aimed to raise the awareness of achieving public health through exercises, to guide the develop of achieving public physical fitness activities scientificly, to educe physical education's energetic effects on strengthen people's constitution. so as to lay a foundation for the following studies on the methods of losing weight for the fat people. Methods: The present research has taken reference to the relevant studies both at home and abroad, and paid special attention to the uniqueness of Chinese females. From the series of indexes related to health, the major ones were selected for a comprehensive assessment, including those of body morphology, organic function and organic quality. 100 female members of Changchun LISPA club between 46 and 50 were selected at random to be the participants of this research. All the measuring devices satisfied the requirements of our country. According to the international requirement, one single examiner took charge of measuring all of the indexes of the participants . The indexes include height, weight, holding strength, push up exercises, sit-up for one minute, standing trunk flexion, standing on one foot with eyes closed, the girths of certain body parts (neck, chest, waist, hip and thigh),skinfold-thickness of certain body parts (triceps brachia, abdomen, subscapula, supraspinale and thigh), the index of step measurement, etc. In the final stage of this research, all the data about health norms were statistically analyzed under the help of computer. Based on these cases, the researcher obtained the average values of the differentiated indexes that had been measured.Results: All the data about health norms underwent a computer-aided statistical analysis to calculate the averages, Namely, the average of BMI was 23.1kg/m2±2.7, The average of waist-to-Hip-Ratio(WHR)is 0.85±0.05,The average BF% is 37.62%±3.33 and the average of index of step measurement is 31.62±3.74.Conclusion: This research proved that the indexes of urban females between 46 and 50 for specific body morphology include weight, the girths of certain body parts (neck, chest, waist, hip and thigh) ,skinfold-thickness of certain body parts (triceps brachia, abdomen, subscapula, supraspinale and thigh) and the indexes of BF%,WHR all exceeded the standards of phusical fitness measurement of our country; the indexes of physical quality include holding strength, push up exercises, sit-up for one minute, standing trunk flexion, standing on one foot with eyes closed and the important indexes of step measurement and BMI all not to achieve the standards of phusical fitness measurement of our country. All indexes of body constitution of urban females between 46and 50 of our country at present needed to be further improved and strengthened. The analysis results of the obtained data suggested waging a campaign for regular exercises, raising the health awareness of the public so as to achieve a conception of the national fitness program.
