Universities In Jiangxi Province In The Survey Of Graduate Participation In Physical Exercises

By way of literature review,questionnaire survey,and other means,this paper investigates the current situation of physical exercises of in-school graduates at Jiangxi province,analyzes some possible factors preventing them from doing exercises,and on the basis of a comparison with the situation of graduates at other regions,summarizes the general patterns of their doing exercises,and points out the problems still to be solved,in the hope of providing reference for physical education decision-making sections and administrative sections for graduates at college and universities.The results show that:1)graduates have a good understanding about physical exercises.A majority of them like doing physical exercises,but there is a significant difference between male and female graduates.2)Graduates have a good knowledge about the basics of physical exercises,ball games in particular,but their knowledge about martial arts is rather poor.They can generally apply their knowledge about physical exercises to practice,but they seem to know little about the regulations on physical exercises,and only a couple of them know something about《National Scheme of Physical Exercises》.3)After the number of people exercising regularly has been calculated,it is found that it only makes up 12.38%of the total sample size. It is also found that there is significant gender difference in terms of this number.As for the times of doing exercises per week,significant difference is also found between graduates in Jiangxi and those in southeast region(compared with Zhao's findings).4) The graduates' major way of doing exercises are exercising with playmates,followed by exercising alone,but a new way has begun to appear:exercising under the guidance of coaches of clubs.5)In terms of the exercise duration,the graduates mainly exercise in the afternoon and evening,and the difference between male and female graduates is significant,too;more female graduates prefer to do exercises in the evening.Graduate mostly exercise on the college/university stadium or playground.Significant difference is found between male and female graduates in the place of exercising;while male graduates prefer to exercise on the stadium;female graduates often exercise on spare ground.6)Generally speaking,graduates' cost on physical exercises is relatively low,and some even do not have any budget on it. Significant difference is found between genders,with male spending much more than their counterparts.7)The most-practiced exercises include badminton,jogging, basketball,table tennis,football,volleyball,etc.Gender preference is also evident: while the most-favored exercises of male graduates are basketball,badminton, jogging,table tennis,football,and volleyball,the most-favored exercises by female graduates are badminton,jogging,table tennis,rope-skipping,gymnastics,and volleyball.8)Their motivations of doing exercises are ranked as follows:building physique,relaxing the mind and improving learning efficiency,enriching life, fulfilling interest,reducing pressure,improving working efficiency.The functions of doing exercises are ordered in this way:building physique,keeping fit,having leisure and amusement,resisting illness,improving learning efficiency.10)The factors preventing graduates from doing exercises include heavy pressure of learning,lack of time,lack of physical atmosphere,having no exercising habit,lack of willpower, laziness.Gender difference is big:for male graduates,the top-ranked factors are lack of time,lack of practicing court,lack of atmosphere,having no exercising habit,lack of interest,lack of necessary equipment,and lack of guidance;for female ones, factors such as lack of time,lack of physical atmosphere,laziness,no forming habit, lack of practicing court and necessary equipment rank top on the list.Based on the findings,the following suggestions are given:(1)The physical exercise should be paid due attention to by college and university administration;(2) A physique checking system for graduates should be carried out;(3)For physical education administration at colleges and universities,the idea that equipment is for the service of students should be established;(4)A variety of sport clubs should be founded,and physical education teachers ought to go to the clubs on a regular basis to provide guidance for the students;(5)The study on females' physical exercise should be given emphasis to.As revealed from the result,female graduates exercising regularly make up only a small proportion of the total female subjects.The influential factors are manifold,and physical education teachers and researchers should attach more importance to the study of female physical exercise,investigate into their attitude toward and awareness of doing physical exercise so as to change the current situation.(6)The mechanism of overall exercise system should be formed to call the attention of supervisors and graduates to physical exercise,and to take care of their health.(7)The promotion of national physical education regulations should be emphasized.(8)The idea of cultivating all-round developed students should be carried out.
