摘要:

In brief: Based on the belief that physical education majors should have above-average fitness levels, 128 students were instructed to design and execute their own fitness development project to improve strength, endurance, and flexibility. Most relied on jogging, stair running, swimming, and cycling; others performed weight training, calisthenics, racket sports, and aerobic dancing. Generally, both men and women showed statistically significant increases in all the fitness tests. The authors believe that success was encouraged by the students' daily contact with instructors, the fact that their fitness improvement affected their grades, and the knowledge they gained from the course.

摘要:

In brief: Two female masters swimmers, ages 70 and 71, members of the 1980 All-American Masters Swim Team, were compared with sedentary females of the same age and with younger female athletes. They had considerably lower percent body fat than normal sedentary women in their 70s and were well within the range for normal women who are 19 to 25 years old. Their Vo2max values were approximately twice those for normal women in their 70s and comparable to considerably younger nonathletes. These findings show that regular physical training may delay the accumulation of excess fat that accompanies inactivity during aging and may also offset the age-related decline in aerobic power.
