- W2956106923 abstract "Healthy fitness components such as body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, and muscle strength are associated with disease risk and premature mortality. Factors influencing health related fitness in college-aged students are unclear, and academic major has not been yet considered. PURPOSE: To assess and compare the achievement of healthy fitness zone (HFZ) by academic major in college students from Puerto Rico. METHODS: College students (331 females, 258 males, 18-25 years of age) enrolled in elective courses at the Physical Education Department of the University of Puerto Rico (PR), completed the Fitnessgram® assessment protocol. Achievement of HFZ was determined for each component: strength-endurance fitness (SEF) with push-up, curl-up, and trunk lift; flexibility fitness (FLF) with back-saver sit and reach, and shoulder stretch; body composition fitness (BCF) with BMI, and %fat; and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with the 20-m PACER test. Students were also classified according to their academic major: teacher education (TE), physical education (PE), natural sciences (NS), business administration (BA), and others (OP) including social sciences, humanities, communication, and general studies. Frequencies and percentages of students achieving the HFZ in each component were determined, and Chi-squares used to detect differences by academic major and sex. RESULTS: HFZ for the SEF component was achieved by 68% of participants, FLF by 52%, BCF by 61%, and CRF by 26%. More males than females were in the HFZ for SEF (75 vs. 57%, P=0.001), and CRF (41 vs. 12%, P<0.001); while more females than males were in the HFZ for BCF (65 vs. 52%, P=0.001). More PE majors were in the HFZ in SEF (82% vs 68, 59, 66 and 54% for TE, NS, BA and OP majors, respectively; P<0.01) and CRF (48% vs 27, 14, 34 and 19% for TE, NS, BA and OP majors, respectively, P<0.001). No differences were observed by academic major for FLF and BCF. CONCLUSION: Although a relatively high proportion of students achieved HFZ criterion in SEF, BCF and FLF; the low proportions achieving CRF, particularly females, is of concern. Results also suggest that academic major must be considered when developing strategies to promote the achievement of HFZ in critical health components such as CRF and SEF among college students in PR.
