초록

The purpose of this study was to compare health-related fitness variables between boys and girls in Singapore. 762 and 694 13-year old Singaporean boys and girls (respectively) participated in this study. Anthropometrical measurements were taken and participants performed the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run, sit-and-reach, handgrip strength, and sit-up tests. Questionnaires regarding their lifestyle and dietary habits were also completed. Results found that boys were significantly stronger than girls, whereas girls were significantly more flexible. In general, obesity rates in Singapore are kept at a low percentage, although youths should participate in higher amounts of physical activity and exercise. It is recommended that youths consume more nutrients and reduce their intake of night snacks, desserts, and fried food in their daily diet. If this health trend continues lifelong, there may be a low risk of cardiovascular disease
