The study aimed to examine (a) the association between weekly strength exercise frequency and grade point average (GPA), and (b) the demographic characteristics of weekly strength exercise frequency among undergraduate students at a large southern state university in the United States. Health behavior data (N = 1125) collected by the American College Health Association at the university in 2008 were analyzed. Analysis of variance was used to investigate weekly strength exercise frequency differences in GPA, sex, ethnicity, and year in university. The results revealed that those who more frequently engaged in strength exercise had significantly higher GPA. There was a significant difference in weekly strength exercise frequency by sex and ethnicity. Findings suggest that regular engagement in strength exercise may not only have physical health benefits but is also associated with academic achievement in high education. There is a need to further investigate the mechanism of strength exercise on GPA among university students.
（a）每周力量训练频率与平均绩点（GPA）之间的关系；（b）美国一所大型南方州立大学本科生每周力量训练频率的人口统计学特征。2008 年，该大学通过美国大学生健康协会收集了健康行为数据（N=1125），并进行了分析。方差分析用于调查 GPA、性别、种族和在校年限方面每周力量训练频率的差异。结果表明，那些更频繁地进行力量训练的人 GPA 显著更高。每周力量训练频率在性别和种族上存在显著差异。研究结果表明，定期进行力量训练不仅对身体健康有益，而且与高等教育中的学业成绩相关。需要进一步研究力量训练对大学生 GPA 的作用机制。
