The continuous decline of young people's physical fitness level has aroused great attention from the National Ministry of Education and relevant departments.Therefore,China issued several documents and policies on strengthening young people's physical fitness in order to reverse this trend.Sports examination of the secondary school entrance exam is the product of this environment.However,many schools,parents and students still do not break away from the limitations of exam-oriented education,they view sports exam as the additional project of secondary school entrance exam as usual.Therefore,sports participation in secondary school students is still not active,thus the alleviating effect of sports on mental fatigue,obesity and other sub-health conditions has been weakened.This problem needs to be solved with no hesitation.As an internal psychological factor that driving personal sports behavior,sports motivation affects individual sports participation and persistence in a great deal.Therefore,it has certain feasibility and practical significance to improve the enthusiasm of secondary school students in sports participation and effectively promote their overall health condition by adjusting their sports motivation.This paper analyzed and studied the correlation between sports motivation and health of secondary school students in Xi'an city by literature review,questionnaire survey,mathematical statistics and logical analysis.The study objects of this paper are students from grade 7 to grade 9 of Xi'an Gaoxin Tangnan School,Affiliated Secondary of Northwest Polytechnic University and Xi'an Qing'an Secondary School.The research content of this paper includes the situation of sports motivation and health of secondary school students,and correlation between sports motivation and health.Firstly,by using questionnaire,the sport motivation and health situation can be known about.Then,by employing SPSS,this paper used Descriptive Analysis,Independent Sample T-Test and Multiple Factor Variance Analysis to reveal the difference of gender and grade,characteristics of index distribution and correlations.Thus the problem of sports motivation and health can be found,then using sport motivation as a tool to improve health status is feasible and reasonable.Secondly,correlation analysis was used to explain the correlation among various indicators of sports motivation and health dimensions,and logical analysis was used to reveal the potential causes.Finally,on the basis of the research conclusions,this paper puts forward some suggestions for the existing problems.The conclusions of this paper are as follows:(1)Sports motivation is relatively good,with internal motivation as the main motivation,followed by external motivation and amotivation.(2)The trend of internal motivation's and external motivation's score in different grades is:decreases at first,and then goes up.Specifically,students in grade 7 are the highest,followed by students in grade 9,and finally students in grade 8.Therefore,the sports motivation of students in grade 8 needs to be improved.(3)The internal motivation and external motivation of male students is much higher than that of female students.There are significant gender differences in knowledge seeking,stimulation experience,internalization,identification and external adjustment.Therefore,girls' sports motivation needs to be improved.(4)The higher the grade is,the higher the amotivation level will be.Therefore,training of senior students'sports consciousness needs to be further strengthened.(5)Physiological health level is the highest,followed by social adaptation,and finally mental health.Basically,there are positive correlations among health dimensions.Therefore,psychological counseling for secondary school students should be strengthened.(6)Moderate sub-healthy secondary school students are the main group,thus their health status is not optimistic.The score of health level in different grades is similar to sports motivation,that is,students in grade 7 have the highest health score,followed by students in grade 9,and finally students in grade 8.This situation verifies the positive effect of sports on health to some extent.(7)Internal motivation and external motivation are positively correlated with health level,while amotivation is negatively correlated with physical health.Internal motivation has the closest relation with health.Therefore,in order to achieve the effect of health promotion by adjusting sports motivation,we should start from improving internal motivation,promoting internalization of external motivation and reducing non-motivation.
