Abstract:The rapid development of all walks of life in our society cannot do without high-level professional talents, and so does the growth and prosperity of our country. Various universities and colleges are the cradle of talents in China, taking cultivating qualified graduates as their final goal of higher education. Qualified graduates do not only master professional knowledge but also have strong constitution, which will help them easily adapt to their intensive work to realize their life planning and meanwhile do credit to their homeland.However, one unavoidable problem appears during the standard test of Chinese students’health. According to the report of such test in2010, college students’ physical quality is declining slowly though the total passing rate goes upward. College students are about to enter the society and take up their own jobs in order to make contributions to our country, but it is really worrisome for the universities and colleges to find the problem, which is the critical one for the authority to solve.The author of this thesis took the students of Grade2007in CDUT as the subject and made a follow-up survey for four years. Through the mathematical statistics of students’height, weight, BMI, vital capacity/body mass index, step examination index, score of standing long jump, sit-ups and so on, this author analyzed these students’constitution level, in accordance with National Health Standards for Physical Fitness of Students, and found the general rule of the students’ constitution change cycle of Grade2007and the major factors which caused the change.It can be seen from most students’ health test reports in recent years that overweight and obesity are the main factors which will influence students’ constitution. Nevertheless, as per the author’s study of the statistics mentioned above, BMI of Grade2007showed the sharp increase number of underweight students and underweight turns to be an important factor to influence the overall constitution level of college students rather than overweight and obesity. The indexes of bodily function and essential qualities of the students go upward steadily when they are freshmen and sophomores but downward gradually when they are juniors and even worse in the last year at university. The major factors include the lack of necessary knowledge of health and nutrition, the change of their exercising time and volume, living habits, the pressure of study and employment and so forth. The author makes some suggestions in the hope of solving the problem such as helping students develop proper health value and know more about nutrition, guiding them to exercise scientifically and arrange their daily schedule reasonably.
