Abstract

This study's objective is to look into how PA, ST, and PF relate to one another in Chinese female college students. This study included 512 Chinese female college students. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary time of participants (ST), and level of fitness were evaluated utilizing the Chinese National Student Physical Fitness Test and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (PF). The findings indicated that compared to inactive participants, active participants had considerably greater levels of cardiorespiratory fitness and total fitness. Compared to inactive people with high sedentary time, active persons with low ST or high ST also have greater cardiorespiratory fitness. Furthermore, compared to inactive participants with high sedentary time, active participants with high ST and inactive participants with low ST have less flexibility. Positive correlations between PA and cardiorespiratory
