Abstract

The obesity and decrease in strength quality become a more and more serious problem among college students. In order to research the relation between the strength quality of college students and the body fat ratio, to discuss the effects of obesity status on the strength quality, to provide a reference for the individual strength quality lifting scheme, 300 new students in a certain university were randomly selected for the measurements of height, weight, and body composition. The index tests of the grip strength, standing long jump as well as push-ups (sit-ups) were also carried out for the selected objects. The results indicate that the muscle strength of girls is significantly lower than that of boys, and the body fat ratio of girls is higher than that of boys. It is also found that the body fat has bad effect on the leg strength of boys but has negative influence on limb strength of girls.
