Evaluation of physical strength of first-year and second-year female non-majors enrolled in Physical Education 1 and Physical Education 3 in the academic year of 2021-2022 at Quy Nhon University

Abstract

This study measured and compared the physical strength of two groups of non-majored female students in physical education at Quy Nhon University. One group were first-year students enrolled in Physical Education 1, and the other were second-year students enrolled in Physical Education 3 in the academic year of 2021-2022. Specific research methods for studying sport sciences were used. The collected data were evaluated according to the criteria of students’ physical strength given in Decision 53/2008/QD-BGDDT by the MOET. Results showed that a large percentage of the students in both groups were below the standards in terms of their physical strength. Our conclusion has implications for adjusting teaching and learning activities in physical education courses in order to improve female students’ general physical strength.
