Effects of New Style Gymnastics With Different Frequencies on Bone Strength and Health- related Physical Fitness of Children Abstract The purposes of the study were to investigate the effect of bone strength and physical fitness on elementary school high-grade students after 18 weeks of the new style gymnastics training (NSGT) with two different frequencies. Seventy-eight six-grade students of Ho-mei elementary school, Chang-hua, Taiwan were volunteers as subjects and they were divided into group A (EG-A), B (EG-B), and the group C (CG). The EG-A had two days of 15 min NSGT per week; The EG-B had four days of 15 min NSGT per week; and CG had no training for 18 weeks. All of the subjects had to go through the testing events before, mid, and after the training. The test events included assessed radius and tibia bone strength (Sunlight Omnisense® 7000P) and health-related physical fitness test, including the BMI, sit and reach, standing jump, 1-min sit-up and 800m run. Two-way ANOVA mixed design was used to analyze the data. The alpha level was set at .05. The findings are as follows: 1. EG-B’s girl had improved tibia bone strength but EG-B had not changes indicating 4 days of 15 min NSGT per week for girls was better than 2 days of 15 min NSGT per week on bone strength. 2. EG-B’s boy had improved cardiovascular endurance but EG-B had not indicating 4 days of 15 min NSGT per week for boys was better than 2 days of 15 min NSGT per week on 800m run. 3. No difference was found on BMI, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility with two different frequencies of NSGT of elementary school high-grade students. Four days, 15 min, and 18 weeks of NSGT for six-grade students improved tibia bone strength for girls and better of cardiovascular endurance for boys, but it was not difference on the other health-related physical fitness such as BMI, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. Therefore, in order to improve and promote kids health-related fitness, it needs high intensity and frequencies of NSGT Key words: elementary students, bone strength, physical fitness, Gymnastics
