Abstract

Purpose : The purposes of this research were to study and to construct health – related physicalfitness of students at Patumwan Demonstration School, Srinakharinwirot University in Academic Year2012.Methods : The subjects were 600 male and 600 female students. The instrument used in thisresearch was AAHPERD Health – Related Physical Fitness Test. There were five items: Body MassIndex (BMI), Sit and Reach, Sit-up 60 Seconds, Push-ups 30 Seconds and One-mile Walk/Run. Thedata were analyzed in to means and standard deviations.Results : Means and standard deviations of health – related physical fitness:1) Health – related physical fitness of male Mathayomsuksa 1-6 students, BMI means were 20.93 , 20.55, 20.75, 21.62 , 21.26 respectively while 20.25 standard deviations were 4.06 , 3.80 , 3.51 , 3.64, 2.99and . respectively ; Sit and Reach means were -0.21 centimeters, 2.29 centimeters, 5.72 centimeters,6.93 centimeters, 10.30 centimeters, 10.95 centimeters respectively while standard deviations were 7.12, 7.48 , 9.20 , 7.28 , 9.08 and 8.16 respectively; Sit-up 60 Seconds means were 37.72 times, 32.23 times, 42.03 times , 42.77 times , 41.85 times and 41.77 times respectively while standard deviations were8.42 , 10.19 , 8.43 , 10.01 , 6.60 and 10.14 respectively; Push-up 30 Seconds means were 17.64 times, 20.49 times , 22.05 times , 26.61 times , 29.98 times , and 26.51 times respectively while standarddeviations were 6.49 , 6.76, 6.29 , 9.09 , 6.51 and 7.81 respectively ; and One-mile Walk/Run meanswere 11.21 minutes, 11.14 minutes , 11.54 minutes , 11.07 minutes , 10.18 minutes and 9.36 minutesrespectively while standard deviations were 2.24 , 2.06 , 2.45 , 2.03 , 1.21 and 2.19 respectively. 2)Health – related physical fitness of female Mathayomsuksa 1- students: BMI means were 19.58 , 20.46, 19.37 , 20.20 , 20.21 and 20.62 respectively while standard deviations were 3.03 , 3.08 , 2.23 , 2.99 ,3.15 and 3.18 respectively; Sit and Reach means were 3.89 centimeters, 7.34 centimeters , 8.35centimeters , 7.16 centimeters , 13.40 centimeters and 11.50 centimeters respectively while standarddeviation were 7.74 , 8.41 , 8.26 , 9.23 , 6.46 and 7.27 respectively; Sit-up 60 Seconds means were31.91 times , 28.56 times , 31.79 times , 31.93 times , 36.84 times and 38.55 times respectively whilestandard deviations were 7.97 , 8.12 , 6.89 , 8.74 , 6.73 and 7.01 , respectively; Push-up 30 Secondsmeans were19.17 times , 23.86 times, 22.11 times , 17.19 times , 21.28 times and 24.03 timesrespectively while standard deviations were 5.32 , 5.69, 4.74 , 5.31 , 4.51 and 6.64 respectively; andOne-mile Walk/Run means were 13.43 minutes , 13.58 minutes , 14.38 minutes , 13.53 minutes , 12.27minutes and 12.52 minutes respectively while standard deviations were 2.02 , 1.54 , 2.30 , 1.35 , 2.07and 2.46 respectively.
