Comparative Research On University Students' Physical Quality Of Five Universities In Fujian

The competition of 21^st century is the competition of overall national strength. Its essence is the competition of science and technology and national quality. National physical quality is an important part of overall national strength, and is the basic of national quality as well. Colleges and universities are important bases to nurture high-level personnel. To improve the Chinese national quality, we should first enhance national physical quality, especially college and university students'. Therefore, we carry out a survey among undergraduates of three grades in five provincial colleges and universities in Fujian, namely, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou University, College of traditional Chinese medicine, Fujian Medical University, and Fujian Farming and Forestry University. With the statistical tool spss11.0 and Excel2000, we analyzed the 3000 sample data and made comparisons between grades and universities. Compared with the data acquired in the survey of provincial college students' physical quality in 2005, we further analyzed the relativity of each index. The results show that the subjects' physical quality is apparently superior to the provincial average level, especially in the item of mid- long distance race and explosive force. But physical quality differences exist among the subjects between different grades and universities. Therefore, we suggest senior students should have frequent workout. Colleges and universities should have corresponding adjustment in curriculum arrangement for P.E. and increase extra- curriculum exercise.
