Purpose/Objective:
The purpose of the study was to test the differences in fitness levels between kinesiology students and non-kinesiology students.
Participants:
There were 210 undergraduate kinesiology students over a five-year period that participated in this study.
Main Outcome Measures:
Students were required to perform the vertical jump test, t-test, 50yd dash, and stork stand test. Normative standards were used to compare the students to the average population (50th percentile).
Results:
Female kinesiology students vertical jump scores (M=17.77) were higher compared to the general population (M= 13.2). Their balance scores (M=10.51) were longer than the average population (M=7.6); however, there were no significant
