A Research And Analysis Of The PE Attitude And Behavior Of The Enrolled Postgraduates In Shanghai

For the past decade, with China's rapid economic development, China's education has made great progress. As the new scientific and technological revolution sweeps across the world, science and technology are becoming more and more the decisive factor for all countries and regions to promote economic development. In September 2008, the number of Chinese graduate students in school goes more than one million, becoming the second place in the world after the U.S. post-graduate education.Shanghai is located in the southeast, economic and culture highly developed in the country, bettering in conditions for school running. And it has a large number of well-known universities such as Shanghai Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tongji University, etc. In many universities there is the biggest figure of graduate admissions in the country. Currently the number of graduate students in Shanghai was 5.91 million, accounting for 9.3% of total number of advanced education. Shanghai by 2010, graduate students have doubled the current [2] number. Obviously, this is huge and can not be ignored.With the expansion of graduate students, the educational quality is vital. For graduate students, it is not only to create material wealth for the state of knowledge, their potential ability and ideas to contribute to the whole world as well as their health for future work with abundant physical energy.Using literature, questionnaire, statistics, logical reasoning on part of Shanghai College of Graduate Students in regard with the sport attitude, behavior and its influences, from sports sociology and psychology research perspective and qualitative research and quantitative research combined with the corresponding results obtained, together with appropriate recommendations, references are provided for Shanghai graduates for masters based on research about sports activities and progress for the Shanghai train high quality professionals.The results:Shanghai graduates acknowledge well the importance of physical exercise to good health. Followed by relatively poor understanding of physical emotion. And physical behavior tendency comes last. In a word, sports attitude is quite good. Shanghai graduates maintain a lifelong exercise idea, but their physical behavior is poor.72.4% of the students never experience long-term exercise regularly. This is mostly due to lacking an atmosphere of physical exercise.Graduate students of both sexes have differences in attitude towards physical exercise. The attitude of the male graduate students is better than that of the female students.Graduate students of Shanghai lack of physical behavior relatively. Those who attend exercise three times per week make up only 25.1%. This is far from the requirements of the Ministry of Education which is "an hour exercise a day will enhance healthy working for 50 years and a happy long life". Those who never participate in physical activity are 23.6%. It should be noticed that the rate of female students who do not exercise is 34.6% which is much higher than that of male students of 12.9%. There is also a great difference between the male and female graduate students regarding the exercise frequency, strength, time duration. Clearly, the male graduate students participate in weekly exercise more frequently for a longer time with bigger strength.The atmosphere in Shanghai universities for physical exercise is not optimistic, most of the students think it not fine. Reasons for Shanghai graduate students not to have much physical exercise are mainly subject to the four factors:firstly their laziness, secondly lack of skills to do physical exercise, thirdly atmosphere, lastly overburdened academic and research tasks.
