Urban And Rural Fitness Level: Comparison Between Italian And Croatian Students
Summary .— The goal of this study was to investigate the diff erences in physical fi tness in relation to urban or rural living environment and between two countries:Italy and Croatia. Over 14,000 students were tested during physical education (PE) lessons. Croatian students were taller and heavier than Italian students, with women achieving better results in fl exibility. Urban students were fi tter in abdominal strength than rural students. Age seemed to be the major factor infl uencing the performance. This study's results indicate a trend: urban students performed “indoor” tests better than rural students; the opposite may be true for rural students. Living environment, socio-economic-status, or cultural correlation diff erences could be decreased during school experiences. Thus, PE programs could train all people toward an adequate, age-based fi tness level.
