Recreational Sports Participation Model to Enhance the Physical Fitness of Students at Fuzhou Institute of Technology

Abstract

The Research was aimed to 1) To study the current situation of college students physical fitness and recreational sports participation in fuzhou institute of technology. 2) To develop a recreational sports participation model to enhance the physical fitness of students at fuzhou institute of technology. 3) To evaluate effectiveness of the recreational sports participation model to enhance the physical fitness of students at fuzhou institute of technology.This research used a research and development process with mixed research methods.The research 1 sample was 374 juniors in 26 majors at fuzhou institute of technology,There are 279 boys and 95 girls,8 teacher of 26 majors at fuzhou insitute of technology.Data collection through questionnaires and interviews.8-week experimental study consisting of pre-tests and post-tests was conducted.The research 2 sample was 104 students were drawn to participate in the experiment. 52 students were drawn to participate in the experimental control group.The remaining 52 students participated in the experimental group. There were 26 boys and 26 girls in the experimental and control groups respectively.Data collection through experimental pre-tests and post-tests.The results of the experiment were analyzed by means of paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test.

The resultes of the study found that (1)The lack of organization and management in the school's sports policy.students have enough recreational time to spend every day.However,due to the lack of awareness of physical exercise, lack of exercise goals and plans, most of the time is spent on non-sports recreational projects.The types of projects for physical exercise are single. (2)The recreational sport participation model developed in this study uses the FITT principle.That is, frequency (F), intensity (I), time (T), and type (T): behaviour, motivation, limitation, and satisfaction.(3)Students post-test scores were better than pre-test scores.Students physical fitness is enhanced,significant changes occurred. The results of paired samples t-test, the post-test scores of the experimental group were higher than the pre-test scores, and there was a significant difference.The analysis of independent samples t-test results, there is no significant difference between the pre-test scores of the experimental and control groups. The posttest scores of cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility.There is a significant difference.And there was no significant difference in the comparison of the two groups' scores for body composition.Recreational sport participation models to enhance the physical fitness of students at Fuzhou Institute of Technology are effective.
