A Study On The Relationship Between Junior Middle School Students’ Attitude Towards Physical Education Classes,Out-of-school Physical Activity And Sedentary Behavior

Physical education is the primary platform for Chinese primary and middle school students to take physical exercises while they are in school.At the same time,it is of great significance for cultivating students’ awareness of physical exercise,sports behavior and healthy and active lifestyles.Attitudes and behavior have always been the focus of scholar’s research.It is of great research value to observe the relationship between students’ attitude in physical education and the level of physical activity and sedentary behavior.Nowadays,the physical activity of primary and middle school students in our country is insufficient,and the phenomenon of prolonged sitting behavior of screen time is worrisome.Physical education should play a role as an important educational means during school.Through consulting the relevant data,it is found that the relationship between physical education attitude and extracurricular physical activity and sedentary behavior of junior high school students is less concerned in China,and the related research started late.The research in this field is not perfect,so it is difficult to put forward targeted guidance and help for the current phenomenon.This study collected the basic situation of physical education attitude,physical activity and sedentary behavior in 6 middle schools in Shanghai by questionnaire survey.The questionnaire consists of two parts;one is that the attitude scale of students’ physical education class in used to measure the attitude of students in physical education class,the other is the survey of healthy behavior,which is used to collect students’ physical activity and sedentary behavior outside school.With the help of mathematical statistics,this paper makes a descriptive analysis of the attitude,out-of-school physical activity and sedentary behavior of junior high school students in physical education.The difference of physical education attitude,physical activity and sedentary behavior among different genders and grades were compared and analyzed.Partial correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to observe the relationship between physical education attitude and extracurricular physical activity and sedentary behavior.The results were follows:(1)Shanghai junior high school students’ attitude to physical education is generally good,boys score significantly better than girls,there is no significant difference between grades,teachers’ self-efficacy score is significantly higher than other dimensions.Only 9.4% of the students met the standard of high intensity physical activity for one hour a day.The physical activity level of female students is significantly lower than that of male students,especially on weekends.The level of extracurricular physical activity increased with the increase of grade in the middle of the week,decreased with the increase of grade in the weekend,and decreased with the increase of grade in the whole week.The total time of sedentary behavior increased with the increase of grade,in which the TV time decreased with the increase of grade,and the schoolwork time increased with the increase of grade.(2)There is a significant correlation between the attitude of physical education and the physical activities outside the school at the week and weekend;there is a significant correlation between the scores of the attitude of female students and their sub dimensions and the physical activities outside the school at the weekend;there is no correlation between the score of male students’ attitude to physical education and the physical activities outside the school at the week,the middle of the week and the weekend,only the score of curriculum pleasure and the physical activities outside the school at the week and the weekend There was a significant correlation between them.Similarly,physical education attitude is significantly correlated with one week and weekend sedentary behavior;there is a correlation between boys’ curriculum pleasure score and sedentary behavior,and there is a significant correlation between girls’ physical education attitude and weekend sedentary behavior.(3)Regression analysis found that there is a linear relationship between the attitude of physical education and the physical activity of one week and the weekend,and there is a linear relationship between the dimension of curriculum pleasure and the physical activity of one week,the middle of the week and the weekend;there is a linear relationship between the dimension of curriculum efficacy and the physical activity of the weekend.There is a linear relationship between female students’ attitude to physical education and physical activities outside school on weekends,while there is only a linear relationship between male students’ curriculum pleasure and physical activities outside school.The results show that the physical activity level of some junior high school students in Shanghai is low,and there are more sedentary behaviors;there is a significant correlation between physical education attitude and physical activity,sedentary behavior.We should pay attention to the adverse effects of academic stress on physical activity and sedentary behavior of junior high school students.It is an important measure to stimulate students’ interest in physical education and pay attention to the gender difference setting of physical education module to improve the quality of curriculum and promote students’ physical activity level outside school.In addition,physical education needs to strengthen the education of students’ comprehensive sports literacy and health literacy,so that students can form the habit of healthy life on weekends.It also needs the support of parents and the whole society to create a positive and healthy living environment for students.
