Questioned The Decline In Physical Fitness Of Students And The Thought Of Test Indicators

At present, both official reports and academic studies, have generally agreed that the physique of Chinese students in the last 20 years has been declining, which was based on the physical test results of students. However, lots of subjects, such as the medical, biological and physical science studies have generally proven the most important factor that affects the human physique is nutrition, followed by genetic, medical, health and physical activity and other factors. Since the reform and opening up, the material living standards of Chinese people has been rising, the nutrition, medical care, or health conditions are generally improved, and thus the national constitution is also rising, As we know, the youth is the group who are entitled to superior material conditions and care, Is their constitution not as good as those etiolated adolescent because of inadequate nutrition and disease conditions?Faced with this logical paradox,I personally participated in lots of physical tests of three universities in Shanghai. Through the careful observation and analysis we can find the fact is that the scores of physical fitness tests can not truly reflect the true physical condition of students. The reasons are:first, poor validity of test indicators-such as the step test,800/1000 meter run and so on, It's difficult to reflect the students' appropriate physical condition even in ideal test conditions; second, the testing process is difficult to control. The condition of the physical fitness tests in school is usually incentive and large-scale, and there are lots of factors in the testing process which can influence the appropriate,such as the test equipment are frequently wrong while the subjects are so negative when tested, which must seriously affect the test scores; third, There are several serious problems in the "State testing standards for students in physical health", like the poor correlation between the alternative indicators, the assessment criteria is so low that most of the students can pass it in a breeze.This paper is divided into two parts. The first is to question the decline in physical fitness of students, mainly from the influence factors of human physique, the defects of testing indicators, the testing methods and the testing control. The other is the thought of test indicators. One hand is to remove of the unreasonable test indicators; the other hand is to add the more suitable test indicators. Hope that this can be a useful reference to the physical fitness test.
