周南公立大学新入生の体力・生活習慣に関する調査 ―学科別特徴と教育的示唆―

A Study on Physical Fitness and Lifestyle Habits of First-Year Students at Shunan University ―Departmental Characteristics and Educational Implications―

This study aims to provide fundamental data to support the educational philosophy and objectives of Shunan University. It analyzes the results of physical fitness assessments and surveys on exercise habits, sports participation, and lifestyle behaviors conducted in the General Physical Education I course for first-year students enrolled in the 2024 academic year. The physical fitness assessment indicated that many male students demonstrated above-average fitness levels, with those in the Department of Sports and Health Science excelling in muscular endurance and agility. In contrast, students in the Departments of Nursing and Information Science exhibited lower fitness levels, identifying a potential area for intervention. Among female students, overall fitness levels remained within standard ranges; however, variations were observed across different departments.
The survey results revealed that a significant number of students lacked consistent exercise habits, particularly in the Department of Information Science, where exercise participation rates were notably low. Additionally, a portion of students reported skipping breakfast regularly and experiencing insufficient sleep, suggesting potential lifestyle concerns. These findings highlight the necessity of implementing department-specific exercise programs and health education initiatives to address the diverse needs of students.
