摘要

目的：本研究目的探討健走運動對於大學新生健康促進和體重管理之影響。方法：以崑山科技大學98學年度大學新生為母群體，BMI值大於24以上學生採取自由報名健康位體管理計畫，參加人數共計男、女生1084位。本研究將每一位受試者接受每週二次、每次30分鐘以上的健走運動，分別為開學後前測、六週後實施中測、再六週後實施後測，共實施十二週，其健走距離校園場地3,200公尺，而運動強度依照美國運動醫學會最大心跳率（220-年齡）介於個人最大心跳律50-90%之間，並以漸進訓練為原則來進行，避免運動傷害。結果：本研究經十二週健走運動介入後，各變項的前、中、後測值均達顯著差異，研究結果顯示，健走運動能有效改善體重、身體質量指數（BMI）、腰圍及體脂率之下降。結論：本研究發現大學新生肥胖受試者在經過十二週健走運動後，在體重、身體質量指數、腰圍及體脂肪率等，均呈現明顯下降。現今的大學生因課業壓力繁忙及久坐電腦、電視前，導致身體活動量減少，造成肥胖的因素。因此，我們想要維持理想的體重必需要養成良好的規律運動習慣。

Purpose: the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of health promotion and weight management by brisk walking in university freshmen. Methods: the population was the freshmen enrolled from Kunshan University of technology in 2009. Subject's BMI＞24 were recruited to the program. The total number of the participants including both male and female students was 1084. In this research, every participant would receive more than 30 minutes' brisk walking training twice a week. The pre-test was conducted after the beginning of the new term, then mid-test came six weeks later, another six weeks later was the post-test. The whole test lasted for 12 weeks. The distance of their brisk walking was 3,200 meters. The exercise intensity was arranged according to the rule of American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), that is, the maximal heat rate (220-age) should among 50% to 90%. More over, the principle of progressive training was obeyed to avoid the trainees to get hurt from exercising. Result: after 12 weeks' experiment in this study, the values of every variable in pre-test, mid-test and post-test all have reached significant difference. The result of this research shows that nordic walking can improve one's body weight, body mass index and waistline and percentage of body fat effectively. Conclusion: this research discovers that the overweight freshmen participants tended to decline in their body weight, BMI and waist and percentage of body fat after 12 weeks' brisk walking training. The reason why today's university students exercise less and became overweight was that they suffered from much homework pressure and stayed in front of a computer and a TV for a long time. Therefore, if one wants to keep a good body weight, he or she must form a good and regular exercise habit.
