Study On The Body Shape Courses In Middle Schoos And Primary Schools

Liang Qichao once said in one of his masterworks: "if Chinese teenagers are strong, our country will also be strong; if Chinese teenagers are stronger than European youth, our country will also be stronger than Europe; if Chinese teenagers are the strongest in the Earth, our country will be the strongest in the Earth. " It is obvious that teenager's growth condition is closely related with the development of a nation. In 21st century, there appears adiposis among teenagers because of supernutrition. Some teenagers form the physique like bean sprout, which results from being too critical to food, even others suffer from various degree of physical deformation, such as incorrect standing and sitting posture, hunchback, button up chest, knock knee, splay feet and so on. All these not only have bad effect on image, physical growth and health, but also bring difficulties in teenagers'adaptation to the increasingly intense work and competition. Therefore it is extremely necessary for the teenagers to strengthen their physical exercise and promote health.The physical fitness exercise, which has been increasely popular all over the country, is an effective way of building one's shape. This exercise, mainly including dance, gymnatics, aerobics and yoga is usually taught and trained in universities and societies, but seldom programmed as regular academic curriculum in middle schools and primary schools. Teenagers are in the process of physical growth and therefore subject to plasticity in physique and consciousness. If we provide them with systematic and scientific teaching and training, they can not only promote their health, but also rectify their incorrect posture, form graceful body shapes and develop proper manner.Through consulting a great amount of recent research result and literatures, and adopting the research methods of questionnair, fact finding, this thesis tries to get the ipinions from expects and the survey of the relevant courses in middle schools and primary schools. According to the current situation and advanced method at home and abroard, this thesis will conduct research on body shape courses in middle schools and primary schools from three aspects: artistic gymnastics, aerobics, and dance, which involves body constitution, physique rectification and appreciation. The result shows:1. It is quite necessary to open body shape courses in middle schools and primary schools, owing to the current situation of teenagers.2. So far, we lack unified and systematic teaching contents of body shape courses, which result in unscientific and irregular exercises.3. The contents of body shape courses should base on the teenagers' physical features and their growth rules, in order to meet the needs of the teeagers and development of teaching courses.4. Set up assessment criteria of body shape courses to avoid the blindness of teaching. Teachers can assess, supervise the exercise level of different ages, check the effectiveness of teaching and adjust the teaching plan so the body shape courses can be standardised and normalized.5. Suggest the wide spead of body shape courses in middle schools and primary schools as quick as possible, and intensify the training work of teachers responsible for the courses.
