The purposes of the present study were 1) to compare the associations between health-oriented physical fitness and skill-oriented physical fitness in three population groups, and 2) to examine whether the prediction equation generated for assessment of health-oriented physical fitness age in sedentary men could be utilized for discerning the physically unfit patients or highly active adult men. The subjects were 292 Japanese men, aged 20 to 79 years, and were classified into three groups; normal sedentary (SED, n=223), joggers (JOG, n=108), and patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD, n=15). Health-oriented physical fitness age (HOPFA) and skill-oriented physical fitness age (SOPFA) were estimated from the data of 4 and 3 fitness and skill tests, respectively, using a principal component analysis. Squared values of correlation coefficients between HOPFA and SOPFA were 0.21, 0.21, 0.48, 0.30, 0.09 and 0.41 for the SED and 0.05, 0.01, 0.12 and 0.24 for the JOG by 10-year chronological age (CA) groups from 20 to 76 years. Analyses of the data revealed that, while SED men had HOPFA (51.7±19.6 yr) similar to thei r CA (51.6±15.3 yr), significant differences existed between HOPFA and CA in the JOG and IHD groups. The mean HOPFA was approximately 16 years older in IHD group and approximately 12 years younger in JOG group when compared to the mean CA. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients between HOPFA and SOPFA were less than r=0.70 in all 10-year CA subgroups of JOG and SED groups. The correlation coefficients between HOPFA and vital age (criterion of physical health status) were higher than r=0.70 in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 70s subgroups of SED group. These results indicate that dividing traditional physical fitness test items into two categories (HOPF and SOPF) is a reasonable approach. It appears that the computation of HOPFA can be utilized in exercise and health science as a valid index of physical health status or senescence.
