Assessment And Comparison Of Some Selected Physical Fitness Level Of Physical Education Versus Aesthetics Students In Arbaminch College Of Teachers Education
Physical fitness, especially health-related physical fitness is one aspects closely associated withrngood health. Participation in regular physical activities is rapidly decreased specially in therncollege. In collage level professional physical education courses(practical and theoretical) arernoffered for both linear physical education and cluster Aesthetics only. Due to this, ,this researchrnwas conducted to identify the difference points between them in some selected physical fitnessrnparameters and also aimed to assess and compare physical education verses Aesthetics studentsrnin selected physical fitness by formulating null hypotheses to accept or reject( whether there isrnsignificant difference between physical education and aesthetics group students) by deciding thernvariables which cause the effect on some behavior of research subjects as independent variablesrn(different health and physical education courses given to both groups in practice or in theory )rnto this research and dependant variables of physical fitness and control variables' such as sexrndifference(for group), age, weight, height, attitude/ interest, academic achievement, balancedrndiet, and other external factors. To attain this objective 80 research subjects are selected fromrnthird year linear and cluster group students as the subject of the research from total population ofrn2407 of college students both by simple random ( lottery ) and purposive sampling method werernselected, and the data were collected through measure by their respective measuring device andrnprocedures. To do this qusi-experimental was designed and statistical tools of independentrnsample t-test and one/single sample t-test with 5% error ,two tail hypothesis test from thernSPSS version-19 were implemented. Finally relative to research subjects generally there is nornsignificance difference between two groups in selected physical finesses variables in independentrnsample t-test but significance difference of both groups from standard range mean value inrnsingle sample t-test .when we compare the mean relatively linear groups have betterrnperformance. Based on this the researcher recommend that students should participate in regularrnphysical exercise in order to enhance their fitness level.rnKey words fitness. aesthetics, health, linear, cluster, participation and exercise
