LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.The purpose of this study was to examine the intrinsic motivation of University students in pursuing physical fitness training programs. 224 university undergraduate students (81 males and 143 females) who participated voluntarily in fitness training courses were included in this study. Participants were asked to complete a 7-item questionnaire to find out their intrinsic motivation of participating in the fitness training programs. Ratings of the questionnaire range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The motivation factors were ranked according to their mean scores. It was found that "to keep fit and strong" was top of the list, followed by "to improve health" and "to improve outlook". The implications of the rank order were discussed in the paper. Factor analysis of the motivation factors showed that there were two sub-factor components: physical factor and social factor. The reliability coefficients of the factors were 0.58 and 0.83 respectively. One way ANOVA results showed that significant difference was only found between genders in relation to the social factor. Social factor was seen to be a more important motivating factor in female participants of physical fitness training programs.本文旨在研究大學生參加健身訓練課程的內發動機。共有二百二十四名大學本科生自願參加這個研究,他們在參加課程後填寫一份有七條題目的問卷。問卷答案幅度由一(強烈反對)至五(強烈贊成)。動機因素方面以平均值去排列等級。結果顯示"保持身體強健"居於首位,跟著的是"改善健康"和"改善外表"。文中亦提及排列等級結果的含意。因子分析結果指出問卷內容有兩個次組合:"體質"和"社交"。它們的信度係數分別是0.58和0.83。單向方差分析法表示"性別"和"社交"有顯著差異。"社交"被認為是女性參加健身訓練課程的一個重要內發動機。

Abstract Background Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the serious chronic rheumatic disorders in children and adolescents which results in less physical activities and restlessness hours than their peer. The study aims to assess the efficacy of physical fitness training exercises on aerobic capacity and muscular strength of children with JIA. Sixty-five children with JIA were included in the study, out of a total of 70 children who were screened for eligibility. Children were randomized to a control group (n = 32) who received hot packs, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and strengthening exercises, or a study group (n = 33) who received a physical fitness training program (hydrotherapy pool exercises, bicycle ergometer, and treadmill apparatus) in addition to what had been given to the control group. Both groups were engaged in a training program for 12 consecutive weeks for three times per week. Evaluation was done pre- and post-interventions included: peak oxygen uptake (Vo2 peak) during an incremental treadmill test and muscle strength assessed by isokinetic dynamometer. Results The current study showed that there were significant differences between pre- and post-interventions in both groups (P < 0.05). Comparing the two groups, there were statistically significant differences between children in both groups in favor of the study group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Physical fitness exercise training resulted in improved aerobic capacity and muscle strength of children with JIA. The obtained results suggested that children with arthritis could participate in formal exercise testing and structural physical fitness program. Trial registration PACTR, PACTR201907504136763.

The purpose of this study was to examination the physical and anthropometric features of the traceurs with the gymnasts university education. The study was carried out with university students, male twelve volunteer participants (traceurs=6, gymnasts=6). The mean age of the traceurs was 18.67&plusmn;1.03 years, 172.67&plusmn;3.78 cm, body weight 62.5&plusmn;8.94 kg and BMI was 20.98&plusmn;2.97 kg/m2; gymnasts was 19.33&plusmn;1.21 years, 175.83&plusmn;6.18 cm, body weight 65.17&plusmn;8.06 kg and BMI was 21.11&plusmn;2.67 kg/m2. According to the data obtained from traceurs and gymnasts, the somatotype features of the athletes were endomorph (2.70&plusmn;0.32), mesomorph (4.09&plusmn;1.70) and ectomorph (3.39&plusmn;1.67), and endomorph (2.90&plusmn;0.48), mesomorph (3.83&plusmn;1.51) and ectomorph (3.49&plusmn;1.52), respectively. It can be said that the dominant somatotype structures between the groups and within the groups are mesomorphy and ectomorphy in the traceurs and gymnasts. When somatotype features were compared between groups, no significant difference was observed. It is noteworthy that both branches have similar body structures (mesomorphy and ectomorphy). In conclusion, learning of these body structure features that determine and affect the performance by coaches education of athletes that athletes will show that perform successfully only with appropriate body structures and coaches may enable the preparation of a better training program.

Institutionalized severely and profoundly mentally retarded adults participated in two exercise programs. One group of 19 subjects performed a circuit-training regimen consisting of treadmill walking, stationary bicycle riding, rowing, and calisthenics. Exercise sessions lasted 60 minutes and were performed every third day during an 18-week training period. A second group of 19 subjects participated in an 18-week jogging regimen which consisted of running distances of 1/2, 1, or 1 1/2 miles each session. The exercise requirements in both programs were increased progressively during the course of training. Subjects adapted quickly to both exercise regimens and almost all improved their physical endurance and ability to exercise. It is suggested that the highly motivating characteristics of exercise may provide educators with a training medium through which new skills can be taught to severely and profoundly mentally retarded adults.
