Assessment of female non-major students’ physical fitness at Quy Nhon University before taking volleyball in Physical Education 1

Abstract

Using research methods in sport sciences, the authors assesses the physical status of the first-year non-major female students learning volleyball at Quy Nhon University. This study employs six general fitness assessment tests according to the fitness assessment standards of the Ministry of Education and Training and three tests to assess professional fitness through interviews. The results show that the general fitness level of female students is still limited, as shown in many assessment tests with a very high rate of "fail" ratings, especially in general endurance. In addition, the professional fitness level is also tested and classified according to the C scale. It also reveals that the rate from average level or higher of female students is quite high, which meets the physical requirements for volleyball electives.
