The majority of students can meet the standards ofsports population, but there is still a wide gap between the national requirement "exerciseone hour a day"; most students choose schools for training places; most students prefer toexercise with classmates or friends; Internet has become the most preferred holidayarrangement; student exercise motivation, physical education setting, choice of teachingcontent, physical education teachers’ teaching style and level, school sports facilities,sports organizations, head teachers’ attitudes, parents’ attitudes and community sportsexercise atmosphere and so on have different effects on physical exercise behavior ofstudents; the top four factors affecting students’ exercise behaviors include: weather andenvironment, work burden, no suitable venue, laziness of themselves.
