其他摘要:The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of physical fitness and motor ability of various athletes. Sixteen test items, which were selected out of the areas of physique, physical fitness and motor ability, were administered to 394 team men and 698 non-team men of ten public senior high schools. For analyzing the results, principal factor analysis was applied to the correlation matrix which were calculated with these variables, and then six factors were extracted. In order to estimate these factors, Harman's Short Method was applied. And their means and standard deviations were calculated for each athletic team. The means of each team were evaluated with the eleven grade scales, which were based on the grand mean and pooled standard deviations. And the profiles were drawn for each team so as to get evaluation of physical fitness and motor ability. The results were as follows ; 1. Track and field and basketball teams showed the better shape of balance on motor ability, and also better at motor ability itself. 2. Swimming, soccer and tennis teams showed the good shape of balance on motor ability, but a little inferior to the preceding two teams in motor ability. 3. Judo and gymnastics showed the poor shape of balance in motor ability. Thus, it could be concluded that track and field and basketball teams were excellent at motor ability in general, and swimming, soccer and tennis teams, average, and judo and gymnastics teams poor, as long as motor ability were compared among the athletic teams.
