This study aims to examine effects of physical training in a weekly university physical education program on scores of the new physical fitness test. The participants were first-year students in a university in Kanagawa. The first class was for guidance to explain the meaning and purpose of this study. The new physical fitness test was conducted in the second and third classes as pre-test. In the fourth class, we explained how to use training equipment. The participants grouped by their weight engaged in training from the fifth to the tenth class. Finally, the participants involved in the new physical fitness test in the fourteenth and fifteenth classes as post-test. The results were fourfold:(1) the results of pre-test showed that the scores of the participants were significantly lower than the national average among all eight events,(2) the results of post-test presented that the scores in six events were significantly different between the participants and national average,(3) the participantsʼ scores of sit-up exercise, body bending forward, 20m shuttle run, standing broad jump, and handball throw were significantly improved by training,(4) fat percentage, fat mass, and fat-free mass among the participants were decreased by training though no changes in thier body weight was observed. The results indicated that physical training in a weekly university physical education program had positive impacts on physical fitness in students. The results also suggested that the environment for students to keep exercise through university years is essential for promoting QOL in the future.
