BACKGROUND:The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize what is known about health-related physical fitness (cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition) and physical activity among homeschool youth. Findings from this study have implications for all American youth as they return to public school from mandated schooling at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.METHODS: Database engines identified over 22,000 articles with 82 abstracts screened for further review. Of these, 18 full-text articles were additionally screened with 10 cross-sectional articles included in the final review. Articles were condensed into a standard review template and findings were summarized by topic. RESULTS:Cardiovascular endurance findings were inconsistent. Abdominal, but not upper body, muscular strength and endurance were significantly lower in homeschool students. There were no reports on flexibility. Body composition was generally healthy in homeschool students and no differences in physical activity were seen. CONCLUSIONS:Research on health-related physical fitness in homeschool youth is limited and descriptive. Further testing and potential remediation may be needed for cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility in homeschool youth and their public school counterparts as they return to campus. However, existing literature supports healthy body composition and physical activity in this population.

Objective: To explore the relationship between college students' motivation for sports participation, physical activity volume, conscious exercise benefits, and healthy physical fitness. Method: A random sampling survey method was used to obtain a total of 3700 questionnaires for college students in the Chengdu and Chongqing regions of western China, and SPSS 21.0 was used to statistically process the data obtained. Result: The BMI status of college students is influenced by their level of physical activity. The higher their level of physical activity, the higher their sense of sports identity and satisfaction; The level of sports participation among college students is significantly lower, with females being significantly lower than males; The main factors affecting the physical fitness of college students include the amount of physical activity, BMI, awareness of sports participation, motivation for participation, and exercise habits. Conclusion: Motivation for sports participation, physical activity volume, and conscious exercise benefits can significantly predict the health and physical fitness of college students, and this predictive power is mainly reflected in two aspects: lower limb explosive strength and cardiopulmonary fitness.
