This paper chooses twelve universities and colleges of undergraduate in Jiangsu Province, who have implemented the " Standards for National Students' Physical Health", as its research object. And it adopts many kinds of research approaches such as documents and literature, survey and questionnaire, interview, and mathematical statistics.The paper mainly probes into the effect of implementing the "Standard" and causes of the present situations of undergraduates' physique in these universities and colleges. It finds: 1. University student's physique current situations: Statistical analysis shows that from 2003 to 2006, physique and health of university and college undergraduates of Jiangsu Province is in a downward trend. The number of the overweight or obese undergraduates is on the rise year by year; nearly half students are underweight; endurance and movement abilities have noticeably dropped; and on the other side, statistics for height, weight, heart and lungs ability level are encouraging. 2. The causes of current situations of university student's physique: questionnaires and surveys prove that students themselves, universities and colleges, society as well as family are responsible for the decrease in the undergraduates' physique. And among these, the undergraduates themselves and their universities or colleges should take the major responsibilities.3. The effect after the "standard" being implemented: Through statistical analysis and questionnaire, it is found that while better effect in implementing the "standard" has been achieved, some problems also exist, for example, sometimes the grading standards and the test results are unevenly distributed; In optional items, the evaluation criterion for the "one of the two" varies from one to the other and the evaluation criteria have inconsistencies between male and female students; In the evaluation process, the instruments in some universities and colleges fail to meet the standard; evaluation is not well organized; the instruments are in poor condition concerning stability and precision; The test results are not timely given back or even not given back at all; Test managing efforts are not sufficient.In order to encourage and stimulate university students to take an active part in sports and exercise, and to improve their health and physique, this paper proposes to: 1. perfect the health education, cultivate university student's lifetime sports consciousness; 2. Reform the contents of PE courses, teaching means and methods, and set up a new system to evaluate PE education in universities and colleges; 3. draw more of authorities' attention to PE, and increase investment in PE ; 4. conduct more propaganda to form a good campus sports atmosphere; 5. well implement "Standards for National Students' Physical Health " issued in 2007.
