Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to organize the evaluation process of the general physical training (1) course through standardization of fitness tests and the related norms at Chabahar Maritime University. Material and Methods: The research was carried out using a descriptive and quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the study were randomly selected. The sample included 258 male and 139 female students. Frequent and standard physical Fitness tests for measuring muscular strength and endurance, body composition, balance, agility, aerobic and anaerobic power were done in three successive semesters. Then, based on Norms derived from these tests, scoring procedures of physical fitness course were conducted and given to instructors. Measurement tools included: tape meters, digital scales, and digital stopwatches, sit-ups, bar machines, calipers, agility test and 1600-m speed test. The obtained data were analyzed through running dependent t-test, one-way analysis of variances, (ANOVA), and correlation coefficients. Results: Results indicated that progress was significant in all tests except for the bar machine (p≥/01) and that there was a correlation of about%50 between pretest and post-test scores. Discussion and Conclusion: The study showed that instructors generally prefer to have norms for systematic scoring. Moreover, instructors believed that attitudinal issues such as discipline, attendance, sports coverage, perseverance and progress should be reflected in the students' scores in general physical education
(1) course. However, to achieve the optimal point, there is still a long distance.
Machine summary:
"Important goals in academic physical education include: a) Preparing proper physical fitness for the students b) Creating proper attitude and perspective toward exercising and its role in preparing individual and social health c) Creating correct athletic habits and utilizing the appropriate life style in the age of technology The real question is how much has the existing method in conducting physical education courses have been successful in the universities around the country.
; Whatever mentioned so far would imply the need for practical and theoretical tests in accordance with the goals of physical education course, which are capable of being performed in the Chabahar Maritime University (CMU), and to be standardized and normalized, as well.
(P < 5%), Table 6: results from the ANOVA test; comparison of mean scores given by different instructors of physical education course following the study.
Table 7: results of ANOVA; comparison of mean scores given by different instructors of physical education course to female students following the study.
Table 8: ANOVA test results; comparison of mean scores given by different instructors of physical education course to male students following the study.
In other words, the tests utilized to evaluate Vo2max, sit ups, high jump, sweep (go and back), balance and fat percentage can be considered as appropriate standards to be used in lesson planning for the male students’ general physical education course."
