Development Physical Education of Liberal of Art Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon

Abstract

This research was aimed to study the physical fitness of the undergraduate students of the Faculty of Liberal Arts. Two hundred undergraduate students of the Rajamangala University of Technology, Phra Nakhon were randomly selected using the Yamane Table. The instrument used to measure the physical fitness of the students was the physical fitness test on the four physical performances, including sitting on the floor while pushing hands on the floor, sitting on the floor while bending the body forward, running for the distance of 50 to 100 meters, and doing standing long jump. The collected data was evaluated by constructing the normalized score of the normal physical fitness and by using the standard T-Score. The data was analyzed in terms of means, and the standard deviation of the four physical performances. It was found that the physical fitness of the students is normal. They passed the standing long jump test indicating leg strength, the sitting while pushing floor with the hands showing patience and abdominal muscle strength, the sitting while bending the body forward showing flexibility, patience and good blood circulation, and the 50 to 100 meter run showing patience, leg muscle strength and blood circulation. The symmetrical balance of the physique in the four performances enables the body to develop strength and remain healthy to efficiently perform physical activities for a period of time without feeling too tired and to maintain its constant physical fitness.
