| The cadet who serves as both soldier and student is supposed to undertake a more intense physical and mental load and be confronted with a great psychological pressure in high-tech regional war of the future. Thus they are required to have some essential psychological qualities such as psychological bearing capacity of high intensity, psychological fatigue resistance, immunity from interference and so on. The special identity of the cadet and the special environment they are exposed in determine a higher standard of health quotient and physical activity than other kind of students. Right from the day they entered military academy on, their identity transformed from ordinary students to military cadet. It requires both the learning of science and culture knowledge as an ordinary student and the experiencing of mental and physical hardships and tests as a soldier. This research investigates the health quotient and physical activity of the cadet: hoping to find the status quo of the health quotient and physical activity of the cadet herein and to provide theoretical explanations for the relevant theories of health quotient through the analysis of the relations between health quotient and physical activity.This research is based on the "health quotient questionnaire" designed by Professor Xie Huazhen and international physical activity questionnaire, i.e. IPAQ.Result:1. The average score of the cadet’s health quotient is60.65±1.06. The number of the cadet of alert level among all levels of scores is207, which accounts for 37.6%of all the healthy cadets. The average score of male cadets is60.12±1.05;66.17±1.03for the female cadets;60.02±1.11for sergeants;62.37for sergeants promoted to army officer;67.17±1.13for sergeants promoted to army officer honored the excellent student soldier;57.32±1.21for national defense students.2. The average hours of physical activities of the cadets’total are193±5.11Min/d, the average of the metabolism scale of the cadets’physical activities is6022.05±4.30met a week, the male cadet met a week’s metabolic activities equivalent averages7312±4.25met a week; the female cadet metabolic activities equivalent averages4523±3.39met a week; the sergeant metabolic activities equivalent averages7013±1.09met a week; sergeants promoted to army officer metabolic activities equivalent averages5932±1.11met a week; sergeants promoted to army officer honored the excellent student soldier metabolic activities equivalent averages5561±1.18met a week; national defense students metabolic activities equivalent averages5628±1.11met a week.3. The person analysis shows that health quotient is positively correlated with the hours of physical activity and MET. And the correlation coefficient between health quotient and amateur physical activities as well as physical activity of middle and high MET is0.631and0.504(P＜0.05) respectively; that between their knowledge of health and physical activity as well as total physical activity is0.532and0.763(P＜0.05) respectively; that between the total of health quotient and amateur physical activity as well as the hours of physical activity of middle and high MET is0.311and0.339(P＜0.05) respectively; that between mental health and the time for study and work is-0.211(P＜0.05);that between mental health and the hours of physical activity of middle and high MET is0.373(P＜0.05); that between life style and amateur physical activity is0.409(P＜0.05) Conclusions:1. The health quotient of the cadet is lower at large, which is detrimental to the health of the whole group. Thus it is necessary to popularize the health quotient in military academies. The results show that the cadets show lower scores in three elements, i.e. self-care, health knowledge and mental status; more of them are in dangerous status and fewer have an ideal health quotient, while living skills and life style get the highest score.2. The health quotient level of female cadets is higher than that of the male; the number of the male cadets with a lower level of health quotient is more than that of female among all levels of scores, while the female is more than the male in relatively ideal health quotient. The number of the health quotient level of sergeants promoted to army officer is more than the sergeants and the number of the sergeants in alert status is more than sergeants promoted to army officer. The sergeants promoted to army officer honored the excellent student soldier have an higher overall level of health quotient than national defense students and they account for a large proportion in relatively ideal health quotient.3. The time spent on study and work is more than that spent on the training of some common subjects; the time spent on amateur physical activity and that of great intensity is longer, while the time spent on physical activity of middle level and MET is less. The time spent by male and female cadets shows little difference. The MET of male is higher than that female; the time spent by sergeant on physical activity of middle intensity and amateur physical activity is more than sergeants promoted to army officer, as well as MET. The sergeants promoted to army officer honored the excellent student soldier spend more time on amateur physical activity than national defense students and little difference is shown in other aspects. All the students and cadets hereby mentioned show little difference in the time spent on physical activity and MET, but differ in physical activity of middle intensity. 4. health quotient and physical activity are mutually promoted. They have certain relations in both time and MET. Moreover, people of higher health quotient will have a higher working and studying efficiency and a higher level of physical activity. |
