本文之研究目的，在於探討台灣地區大學新生健康體適能狀況，以及與台灣地區同齡國民常模之比較，期能藉以揭示其異同之重要訊息。 本研究之資料來源，在原始資料方面，以台灣地區大學新生男生573名女生449名共1022名為受測對象，實施健康體適能測驗，測驗項目包括：一、身體組成，二、心肺耐力，三、柔軟性，四、肌（耐）力。在次級資料方面，以收集19歲至20歲體適能的有關報告，主要為行政院體育委員會的健康體適能常模報告書。 經本文實證分析結果發現：（一）台灣地區大學新生體格與台閩地區同齡國民均屬中等身材，並無顯著差異。（二）台灣地區大學新生在肌（耐）力與柔軟度方面、與台閩地區同齡國民均屬「普通」等級，並無顯著差異。（三）台灣地區大學新生男女心肺功能有明顯低落之傾向，均屬「不佳」等級。 本文並建議今後大專院校規劃體育課程教學，應加強重視心肺適能的提升，以及體適能知能的傳授，並設法提升學生經常參與運動之強烈動機。
