This study was performed to investigate the relationship between milk consumption, dietary nutrient intake, and physical strength in Korean adolescents for dietary education of home economics subject at middle and high schools. Intake of milk and milk products, that of dietary nutrients, and physical strength records were surveyed for 298 high school students resided in small and medium-sized cities in Korea. Intake of milk and milk products was collected from three-day dietary survey, and daily dairy equivalent of calcium was calculated by dividing daily calcium intake(mg) from milk and milk products by calcium content(200 mg) of 200 mL milk. Dietary survey was performed during three days including two-weekdays and one-weekend by food record method. Dietary nutrient intake was analyzed by CAN-Pro 3.0. Physical strength records were offered from subjects' schools. Subjects were divided into low intake group(${\leq}0.29/d$), medium intake group(0.30-0.78/d) and high intake group(0.79-5.66/d) according to daily mean dairy equivalent of calcium taken by them, and most of them consumed milk and milk products less than '2' of the recommended value. Daily mean dairy equivalent of calcium was significantly related with high records of '50 m running' and 'stand long jump'(p<0.05), however it was not related with other records of physical strength. Intakes of energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin E were significantly correlated with high record of '50 m running'(p<0.01). Intakes of nutrients were related with '50 m running' except fat were significantly correlated with high record of 'stand long jump'(p<0.05). Intakes of protein, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin A, $B_6$ and E were significantly correlated with high record of 'long distance running'(p<0.05). In conclusion intake of milk and milk products was related with physical strength records('50 m running' and 'stand long jump') and intakes of most nutrients including energy nutrient, vitamin and mineral were correlated with physical strength records('50 m running', 'stand long jump' and 'long distance running') in Korean adolescents. Therefore, optimal consumption of milk and various nutrients for balanced nutrition during adolescents should be emphasized in dietary education of home economics subject for their strong physical strength.

This study aims to evaluate physical fitness according to the bone age of youth, and ultimately provide basic data for balanced development of youth through physical fitness standard indicators according to the bone age. A total of 730 youth aged 11 to 13 years in bone age and 11 to 13 years in chronological age were selected as subjects; and after taking X-ray films to calculate the bone age, they were evaluated by using the TW3 method. A total of 2 components in physique, which were stature and weight, were measured using a stadiometer(Hanebio, Korea, 2021) and Inbody 270(Biospace, Korea, 2019). A total of 7 components in physical fitness were measured as well, which included muscular strength (Hand Grip Strength), balance (Bass Stick Test), agility (Plate Tapping), power (Standing Long Jump), flexibility (Sit&Reach), muscular endurance (Sit-Up), and cardiovascular endurance (Shuttle Run). Descriptive statistics and independent t-test were conducted for data processing using the SPSS PC/Program(Version 26.0), and it was considered significant at the level of p< .05. The results of this study may be summarized as follow. First, the result of comparing the bone age and the chronological age of 11 to 13 years old in physical fitness, males showed significant difference in muscular strength, power, muscular endurance, and cardiovasular endurance. In females, muscular strength, balance, agility, power, flexibility, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular endurance showed significant difference. Second, physical fitness standard indicators were presented for each gender and age (11-13 years old) of youth according to the bone age; and based on this, physical fitness standard indicators, which are basic data for physical fitness evaluation according to the bone age of youth, were presented.
