Abstract


The article was made with the aim of evaluating the most fair and comprehensive way of physical fitness of male students at Dong Nai University. To bring about accurate results for the study, the team used research techniques common in the fields of physical education and sports. Therefore, the current fitness status of Dong Nai University students is assessed by comparing their performance with the average fitness of Vietnam and other universities such as Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNUHCM) of the same age and sex. In this way, the fitness of 19-year-old students of Dong Nai University is also measured according to Decision 53/2008/BGD&DT of the Ministry of Education and Training. The results showed that people with good physical strength accounted for 2.49% of the total number of study subjects, people with acceptable fitness accounted for 7.47% and people with poor physical strength accounted for 90.04%. In general, male students from Dong Nai University have better physical fitness than the average Vietnamese, more than VNU-HCM students, and compared to Vietnamese in average physical strength and strength. hand and forearm muscles. They are also lower than the average fitness of the Vietnamese, lower than the students of VNU-HCM, and the average fitness of the Vietnamese in terms of speed, leg muscle strength, endurance, sub-muscular strength and dexterity.
