| Abstract |
Background
Physical fitness test as an index for monitoring health status has often been not feasible due to cost and time limitation. Self-perceived fitness level was thought to be useful in estimating fitness levels of a target population. This study examined whether perceived fitness level reflects actually measured fitness level and whether it has possible application to prepare U-exercare program. Methods: Two hundred young adults were recruited at one university. Body composition, aerobic capacity, muscular strength, flexibility, agility, power, balance and overall fitness level were measured using a self-questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyze relationships among parameters. Results: Perceived and measured body fat contents were correlated in both males and females. Perceived and measured aerobic capacities were only correlated in females. Perceived and measured muscular strength, flexibility and power were correlated in both genders. No correlation was noticed in agility (reaction time) and balance in both genders. Conclusions: The relationship between perceived and actually measured physical fitness parameters among young adults could be used as essential information for building a U-healthcare exercise program.
