摘要：The purpose of this study was to examine if Grade 6 students were able to estimate and appraise their own physical fitness. The participants (N = 48, 20 girls and 28 boys) completed a three item self-report questionnaire to estimate their physical fitness levels (i.e., high, average, low) in relation to objectively assessed endurance, strength, and flexibility fitness levels. Significant correlations were found between self-estimation of endurance and 1500m/2000m running time (r = -.69); self-estimation of strength and composite strength scores (standing long jump, sit-ups and shoulder hang/pull-ups) (r = -.71); and self-estimation of flexibility and sit and reach scores (r = -.50). ANOVA results revealed significant differences between the high, average, and low self-estimated fitness groups in actual endurance, strength, and flexibility fitness scores. In all cases, the high self-estimation group demonstrated higher scores on the corresponding objective measures. The results clearly indicated that Grade 6 have acquired sufficient skills to competently undertake self-assessments of their fitness.
