Abstract
Physical fitness is a key indicator of bodily quality and directly
influences an individual’s quality of life, especially in the case of
university students who represent the nation’s intellectual resources. This
study aims to provide accurate, comprehensive, and scientifically grounded
insights into the physical condition of male students at The University of da
Nang. The research has employed various methods common in sports science,
including document analysis, interviews, pedagogical testing, anthropometry,
biomedical assessments, and statistical analysis, to select appropriate
criteria for evaluating the students’ physical fitness. The research subjects consisted
of 1,915 second-year male students from The University of da Nang’s member
institutions, along with 12 experts, professionals, and experienced lecturers
in the field of physical education. The study has identified eight key criteria
for assessing the physical fitness of male students at The University of da
Nang. Results showed that these students generally exhibited weaknesses in
endurance and lower-body muscular strength, but demonstrated advantages in
agility and speed. The average BMI was 20.12 kg/m², categorized as normal
according to WHO standards, while the average cardiac functional index was
11.18 (HW), which falls into the poor category based on the Ruffier scale.
