A comparative study of the physical performance capacity of 32 Burmese women aged 19-24 years of the rural and urban area was conducted. Difference in physique was found between the two groups. Maximal oxygen uptake of the rural group was 39.21 ml/kg/min and that of the urban group was 32.32 ml/kg/min, the difference being significant at 0.1% level. Maximal oxygen pulse and maximal work load were significant only at 2% and 5% levels respectively. Though maximal ventilation in the rural group had a higher mean value it was not significant. These showed a higher cardiorespiratory fitness in the rural group, which was attributable to their high work intensity of 55.13% of the maximal aerobic power. However, a positive training effect of habitual physical activity on muscle strength could not be observed in this study.
对32名年龄在19 - 24岁之间的缅甸城乡女性的身体机能能力进行了一项比较研究。发现两组之间在体格上存在差异。农村组的最大摄氧量为39.21毫升/千克/分钟，城市组为32.32毫升/千克/分钟，差异在0.1%水平上具有显著性。最大氧脉搏和最大工作量分别仅在2%和5%水平上具有显著性。虽然农村组的最大通气量平均值较高，但不具有显著性。这些表明农村组具有较高的心肺适能，这归因于他们高达最大有氧功率55.13%的高工作强度。然而，在本研究中未观察到习惯性体育活动对肌肉力量的积极训练效果。
