Scientific Analysis of Physical Fitness of High School Students Taking the “Sitting Pose”
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.5 Vol.5】
Recently many high school students have come to take such a sitting pose as makes the knees bent without touching their hips on the floor.
We have researched their physical fitness in 813 male students and 271 female students of 16-19 years old.
We have gained the following results.
1. Rohrer's Index of male students was significantly lower level with 118 than 129 of non-sitting students (control), but their body percent fat was significantly high value with 18.5% fat against control value with 16.9% fat.
2. The back strength of male students was extremely lower value with 112 kg than 129 kg of control value.
3. Their standing maintenance time was significantly shorter with 51 sec. than control with 84 sec.
