Physical Changes

To understand the physical condition and change rule of undergraduate students of different nationalities in Guangxi in their four-year life, and to provide basis for Han and minority students to formulate measures to enhance their physical condition and prevent physical decline. By using the methods of literature review and mathematical statistics, the monitoring data of 3314 students of Grade 2015 from Guangxi University of Science and Technology with complete 4-year physical fitness test results were analyzed. 14.45% of the freshmen had normal BMI and the seniors did not meet the standard. 21.03% of the freshmen and seniors did not meet the BMI standard. 10.29% of freshmen whose BMI is not up to standard and seniors are normal; 54.22% of the freshmen and seniors had normal BMI. The differences in height, weight and vital capacity between Han students and minority students are statistically significant. On the whole, the physique of Han students is better than that of minority students. The physical changes of Han students and minority students in 4 years have their own characteristics. It is an effective way to promote the physical health of college students of different nationalities to continuously study and improve the methods and means of physical health monitoring, strengthen the exchange and mutual learning of national cultures, and advocate a healthy campus cultural atmosphere.

The article examines the assessment of the current physical condition of students who entered the first year and participated in this survey. This is a prerequisite for assessing the physical fitness of students and the effectiveness of further improvement of training sessions, new programs, recovery activities and the like. In this regard, within the framework of our survey, an analysis of indicators reflecting the level of physical fitness, physical performance, functional state of the circulatory and external respiration systems and physical health of students enrolled in the first year was carried out. The general level of their physical fitness, obtained on the basis of the values, was processed with the help of the computer program "OBEREG" and was considered as below average. So at the beginning of the academic year, the majority of students (46.67%) of the total number of students in the group were characterized by a lower than average level of physical fitness, 26.67% of them had an average value of this indicator, and 13.33% was low and above average. So at the beginning of the academic year, the majority of students (46.67%) of the total number of students in the group were characterized by a lower than average level of physical fitness, 26.67% of them had an average value of this indicator, and 13.33% was low and above average. In general, the results of our survey testified that at the beginning of the academic year, the students had indicators below the average level of physical performance, physical and functional fitness, as well as the general level of physical health.

The Relationship

The relationship between coping and physical health status was examined for 100 undergraduate students using the COPE scale and the Medical Index (formerly identified as the Cornell Medical Index). Using stepwise multiple regression, scores for COPE scales—alcohol or drug use, and focus on and venting of emotions accounted for significant amounts of variance (but only 10% and 5%, respectively) in the scores for physical health symptoms reported.

ABSTRACT It is particularly important to improve the quality of physical education curriculum and the overall health level of college students. It is difficult to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of the original evaluation method of students' physical health level. Therefore, this study combined the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and physical fitness training mode to build a university physical health evaluation model. Taking X University as the experimental background, 20 students of different majors in grade 2019 were selected as experimental objects. One group (10 students) adopted the original physical education curriculum mode, and the other group (10 students) integrated physical fitness training into the physical education curriculum. Using the established health evaluation model, the evaluation scores of physical health level of two groups of college students before and after the experiment were comprehensively analyzed. The results showed that the overall score of group A students' physical health level increased; the rising rate was 2.87%. However, there was no significant change in the scores of physical health assessment of group B students. The results show that physical fitness training into the public physical education curriculum can effectively help improve the overall health level of students, and also shows that the introduction of AHP into the evaluation of College Students' physical health level can improve the comprehensiveness of health level analysis. It is hoped that this study can provide some reference for physical education teaching in Colleges and universities, so as to improve the overall teaching level of colleges and universities.

Fitness Tests

Despite releases of governmental guidelines for promoting physical fitness among the youth in China, the performance of college students in fitness tests has been declining over the past three decades. Obesity and physical inactivity have been proposed as two main causes. However, their relative importance for improving physical fitness remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we collected longitudinal data spanning four consecutive years on the physical fitness test for students from Nanjing University, China. Physical education classes of two hours per week were mandatory for the first two years. Using mixed effects models, we quantify the within-subject effects of weight, muscular endurance, sex, and mandatory physical education courses, among other variables, on physical fitness total score. We found that, in spite of the dominance of normal weight among the students, losing weight was positively associated with the total score, with significant sex differences in the associations. Compulsory exercise provided by physical education classes per week had strong positive impacts on the total score, comparable to losing weight of roughly 15–17 kg for males and 5–10 kg for females. Half sex difference in the total score was explained by male students’ poor performance in the muscular endurance represented by pull-ups. Our results suggest that college students in China should engage in physical activity of higher levels to improve their physical fitness, with a heightened awareness of extra fat under normal weight and insufficient muscular endurance.
