초록

본 연구의 목적은 학군사관후보생(ROTC)의 신체활동 참여습관, 체력수준, 학업성취능력의 관계를 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구의 참가자는 J 대학교에 재학중인 71명의 학군사관후보생을 선발하였다. 신체활동 참여습관은 국제신체활동설문지(Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, GPAQ)를 이용하여 조사하였고, 체력수준은 건강관련 체력평가로 측정하였다. 학업성취능력은 해당 학군단 장의 승인을 받은 대학성적자료(GPA)를 참가자 동의하에 수집하여 각각의 자료를 분석하였다. 신체활동 참여습관, 체력수준, 대학학점 간의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 체력수준별 학점을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 신체활동 참여습관과 학업성취능력 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면 주요 과목과 총체력점수, 심폐체력, 근지구력, 유연성, 신체조성 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 나타났다. 체력 수준별로는 체력이 높은 그룹의 ROTC가 낮은 체력 그룹의 ROTC보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 학업 성취능력을 보였다. 또한 낮은 체력수준의 ROTC 그룹은 높은 체력수준의 ROTC에 비해 학업성취능력이 다소 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 체력수준이 높은 ROTC는 그렇지 않은 사람에 비해 학습능력 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구는 자율적이지만 체계적인 체력훈련 프로그램을 제공하여 ROTC의 체력을 향상시키고 우수한 미래 장교를 양성할 것을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity participation habits, physical fitness level, and academic performance among the Reserve Military Training Corps (ROTC). Participants in the current study were 71 ROTCs from J University. Physical activity participation was investigated using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and the level of physical fitness was measured by health-related physical fitness evaluation. For academic performance, university grade data (GPA) was approved by the head of the relevant school district, and the data were collected with the consent of the participants, and each data was analyzed. The correlation between physical activity participation habits, physical fitness level, and GPA was analyzed, and GPA by physical fitness level were compared. This study found that there was no statistically significant correlation between physical activity participation and academic performance. Otherwise, there was a statistically significant correlation between major subjects and total physical fitness score, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. By the level of physical fitness, the ROTCs in the high-physical fitness group showed statistically significantly higher academic performance than the ROTCs in the low-physical fitness group. In addition, low level of physical fitness ROTC group was lower than the other. In conclusion, ROTCs with a high physical fitness level had a positive effect on improving learning ability compared to those who did not. By recommending an autonomous but systematic exercise training program, it is suggested to improve the physical strength of ROTCs and to cultivate excellent future military officers.
