| Young people’s physical health is the backbone of national development.Their physical health is not only related to individuals,but also affects the future development of the whole country and determines the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.The formation of students’ sports attitude will have an important impact on their sports participation behavior and effect,and is closely related to their physical health level.Objective:This study aims to explore the relationship between physical education attitude and physical health of high school students in Nanning City.To understand the current situation of their physical education attitude and physical health,analyze the differences between their gender and age characteristics,clarify the deep mechanism of the interaction between the two,understand the degree of correlation between various dimensions of variables,grasp the relationship between psychological and physical interaction of students,find more entry points and possibilities to improve the physical health level of high school students,and scientifically promote school physical education.Finally,it will help high school students’ physical health level.Research methods: Cluster sampling method was adopted to select 512 students from 12 classes in three high schools in Nanning City to participate in this study,including 245 boys and 267 girls.Sports Attitude Survey Scale and National Students Physical Health Standard(Revised in 2014)were used as measuring tools to measure students’ physical attitude and physical health level respectively.Descriptive statistics were used to compare the overall characteristics of physical attitude and physical health of high school students in Nanning,independent sample T test was used to compare the gender difference,and univariate analysis of variance was used to compare the differences between grades and physical health of high school students with different physical attitude.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between them,and multiple linear regression was used to explore the effect of sports attitude on physical health.Results:(1)The total score of sports attitude of high school students in Nanning was 63.36±12.59 points,which was in the middle level.In terms of gender,male students’ attitude towards sports was significantly higher than that of female students(P < 0.01).In grade,the dimensions of physical education cognition and physical behavior intention in grade3 were significantly higher than those in Grade 1 and Grade 2(P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between Grade 1 and grade 2.The dimension of sports emotion in senior one and senior three was significantly higher than that in senior two(P < 0.01),but there was no significant difference between senior one and senior three.The total score of sports attitude in Grade one and grade three was significantly higher than that in grade two(P < 0.05),and grade three was significantly higher than that in grade one(P < 0.05).(2)The total score of physical health of high school students in Nanning was 76.95±10.51,which was generally in a good level.The rate of good and good was 47%,and the failure rate was only 5%.High school students’ vital capacity,pull-up/sit-up and other indexes decreased with the increase of grade,while body mass index,50 M running,standing long jump,sitting forward bend,800M/1000 M running and total physical health showed a trend of first decrease and then increase with the increase of grade.The physical health level of female students was significantly higher than that of male students(P < 0.01).Except body mass index,other physical health indexes and total scores were significantly different in grades(P < 0.01).(3)The physical health level of high school students with different sports attitudes had significant differences(P < 0.01).Except for pull-ups/sit-ups,other physical health indicators were improved with the improvement of students’ physical attitude level(positive attitude >good attitude > general attitude > negative attitude).(4)There was a moderate positive correlation between the total score of physical attitude and the total score of physical health(r = 0.500;P < 0.01).There is a low correlation between sports cognition and 50 M running,standing long jump,sitting forward bend and total physical fitness score(r < 0.21).Sports emotion was significantly correlated with lung capacity,50 M running,standing long jump,sitting forward bend,800M/1000 M running and total physical fitness score(0.108≤r≤0.232,P< 0.05).There was a moderate to high correlation between physical behavior intention and physical health(0.175≤r≤0.593,P < 0.01).(5)There is a significant correlation between physical education attitude and physical health of high school students(P < 0.01).The regression model of physical education attitude and physical health can be expressed as Y(physical health)= 60.238-0.030×(physical education cognition)+0.151×(physical education emotion)+0.762×(physical education behavior intention).There was no statistical significance between physical education cognition and physical health(P > 0.05).There was significant correlation between sports emotion,sports behavior intention and physical health(P < 0.05).Conclusions:(1)The overall sports attitude of high school students in Nanning is in the middle level.There are significant differences in gender in sports attitude.There are significant differences in sports cognition,sports behavior intention and sports attitude total score in grades.(2)The physical health of high school students in Nanning is generally at a good level.There are significant gender differences in physical health among high school students.The indexes of physical function and strength quality decreased with the increase of grade,while the overall level of body form,speed quality,explosive power,flexibility quality,endurance quality and physical health decreased first and then increased with the increase of grade.Speed quality is the weak event of high school girls,endurance and strength quality is the weak event of high school boys.(3)There is a positive correlation between sports attitude and physical health of high school students in Nanning City.Physical education cognition has no predictive effect on physical health.Students with abundant physical education cognition may not have high physical health level.Sports emotion and sports behavior intention have significant predictive effect on physical health.The better students’ sports emotion experience,the more active sports behavior intention,the higher their physical health level. |
