Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a physical education class aimed at an active lifestyle on the health status(physical h., mental h. and social h.), life habits(exercise, diet, and rest) and physical strength of male university students. The subjects were 634 first-year male students(INT) who took the class, and 148 first-year male students who did not take it as the control group(CNT). Both groups were inactive at the commencement of the research. Results of a two-way ANOVA showed a significant interaction (p<0.05) in all of the aspect of health and life habits, and in some of the test items of physical strength. The score of exercise frequency, health status, life habits and some of the items of physical strength test(sit-and-reach, sit-ups, grip strength) at the end of the semester significantly improved(p<0.01) compared to the value before the semester in INT, but in CNT there was no significant difference between the two points of time.
