Table 3 Health-related fitness changed before and after the summer camp program (N=68)

*Confidence interval; 1BAF, biceps arm flexion (assess upper limbs muscle endurance); 2SSC, sit and stand from chair (assess leg muscle endurance); 3SKU, step with knee up in situ (assess cardiopulmonary function and aerobic fitness); 4BST, back scratch test (assess shoulder softness); 5SFB, sitting forward bending (assess lower limbs softness); 6SOF, stand on one foot with eyes open (access static balance); 7GCB, get up from the chair, and bypass items, then return back to seat (access physical agility and dynamic balance).
