Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of aerobic exercises with device training for improvement of physical quality of college students. Methods One hundred female college students of each grade were enrolled, and aerobic exercises with device training were conducted for 15 weeks. The changes of physical quality, physiological function and body compositions were determined and analysed before and after aerobic exercises with device training. Results With regard to the physical quality, the abilities of high jump and long jump significantly improved after aerobic exercises with device training（P<0.01）. Compared with those before aerobic exercises with device training, the physiological function of heart rate, vital capacity and indexes of stair exercises were in a much better condition after aerobic exercises with device training （P<0.01）. Furthermore, the body compositions including weight, fat distribution, body mass index and waist to hip ratio also approached to the standard condition after aerobic exercises with device training, and were significantly different from those before aerobic exercises with device training （P<0.01）. Conclusion Aerobic exercises with device training can improve physical quality and body shape of female college students.
