As a sport, it appeared in the Nordic countries more than a hundred years ago to perform an outdoor physical and intellectual activity with the potential to promote the aerobic endurance of university students.

Objective:

Study the effect of orienteering sports on the physical endurance of college students.

Methods:

Through experimental research method, 30 college students from different majors were taken as research objects, the physiological indices of each group were measured, and the effect of sport on cardiopulmonary function and aerobic endurance of college students and its physiological mechanism were discussed.

Results:

Orientation college students who have been engaged in sports training for a long time and physical education subjects have a significantly better cardiopulmonary function and aerobic endurance than ordinary college students to varying degrees.

Conclusion:

Orientation sports positively affected students’ physical endurance, increasing their cardiopulmonary and aerobic endurance indexes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
