BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between physical performance and BMI (body mass index) of university students in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study evaluating the physical performance and BMI of university students. BMI was calculated based on height and weight. Overweight and obesity were defined by the Working Group on Obesity references in China. RESULTS A total of 2313 participants (978 males and 1335 females) were recruited in our study. The mean value of the 50-meter dash and standing long jump in male students was higher than in female students (P<0.05). The overall prevalences of overweight (including obesity) and obesity for male students were 17.9% and 4.2%, respectively, and 5.1% and 0.5%, respectively, for female university students. BMI was weakly positively associated with the 50-meter dash score, but was negatively associated with the score for standing long jump and pull-ups. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that overweight and obesity are associated with physical performance of university students, especially in male students. University students should exercise more to improve physical health.
背景 本研究旨在探讨中国大学生身体机能与体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。
材料与方法 我们开展了一项横断面研究，评估大学生的身体机能和BMI。BMI根据身高和体重计算得出。超重和肥胖按照中国肥胖问题工作组的标准定义。
结果 本研究共招募了2313名参与者（978名男性和1335名女性）。男学生50米跑和立定跳远的平均值高于女学生（P<0.05）。男学生超重（包括肥胖）和肥胖的总体患病率分别为17.9%和4.2%，女大学生分别为5.1%和0.5%。BMI与50米跑成绩呈弱正相关，但与立定跳远和引体向上成绩呈负相关。
结论 我们的研究表明，超重和肥胖与大学生的身体机能有关，尤其是在男学生中。大学生应加强锻炼以改善身体健康。
