Starting from the 2024 academic year, the Sports  for All Agency, Ministry of Sports has replaced the "sit-up" component of student fitness tests with the "curl-up" to better assess muscular strength and endurance.
To align with current health and fitness testing trends and to reduce spinal disc compression during testing, the NYCU PEO's Fitness Center has updated its equipment accordingly.
Come and give it a try!
