A Comparative Study on Gait Analysis of Physical Education Students and Non-Physical Education Students

초록

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze gait pattern of the students doing majors in physical education and students doing majors in other subjects by calculating the spatiotemporal variable and lower limb joint angles when walking at their preferred speed. Twenty young and healthy male students participated in the study, ten physical education students (age; 23.4±2.01, height; 177.9±4.89, weight; 79.6±9.43) and ten non-physical education students (age; 22.9±2.01, height; 177.9±4.89 weight; 79.6±9.43). Spatiotemporal parameter and lower limb joints angles were calculated. Significant differences were found in the lower limb joint angle whereas spatiotemporal variable does not show any significant differences. The finding of this study suggests that the physical education has the potential to enhance the physical aspects of college students.
