本研究目的主要在分析中原大學新生健康體適能現況，以評估健康體適能教學介入之功效。研究方法：以中原大學的至96學年度之大一新生共6653位為受測對象，測驗項目包括身體組成、柔軟度、肌肉適能及心肺適能等四個部份。本研究資料利用SPSS15.0版套裝軟體處理，將所得資料結果進行統計分析，以t檢定及獨立樣本單因子變異數分析F考驗，分析不同學年度各體適能因子間之差異，若差異達顯著水準，以薛費法作事後比較。結果：研究發現，不同學院，男生及女生各項健康體適能之比較，工學院男、女生在各項體適能成績平均值較其他學院表現較為突出。理學院男生、人文教育學院女生在各項體適能成績平均值較其他現較為差。結論：中原大學在各學院男、女生新生在立定跳遠有其改善空間。而一分鐘仰臥起坐與80011600公尺跑走測驗項目，中原大學新生皆顯著優於全國大專常模。
