Original title: Let primary and secondary school students "want to exercise" and "can exercise".
When the youth is strong, the country is strong. In recent years, the sub-health problems of children and adolescents have continued to arouse social concern. Last year, Wu Yihuan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) living in Guangdong, suggested that attention should be paid to the early screening of children and adolescents' health problems and improve the prevention system. This year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, there are also DPPs who brought the "Proposal on Deepening the Integration of Sports and Education to Promote the All-round Development of Students", and the deputies of the National People's Congress suggested that "primary and secondary schools can open one physical education class a day".
In recent decades, the living standards of Chinese residents have been greatly improved, and the food and housing conditions have also improved, and many people believe that the physical fitness of children and adolescents should be better than before. However, according to the student physical fitness survey data every 5 years since 1985, as well as the sampling data of hundreds of thousands of adolescents in different years, the physical health indicators of children and adolescents have declined for 25 consecutive years, and the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education said in 2021 that since 2014, the excellent rate of physical health of primary and secondary school students in China has "generally shown an upward trend", but the problems of myopia and obesity among adolescents are "still severe".
According to reports, this aspect is related to the school system or education policy, and primary school students have less academic pressure and more time for physical exercise and other activities. From junior high school to high school, the study pressure has further increased, and the level of physical health has "declined significantly". On the other hand, many people do not form a good and healthy lifestyle and do not develop the habit of exercising. For example, college students do not have higher pressure to go on to higher education and have more time to exercise, but many people are attracted to studies or other things, and participate in physical exercise and sports competitions "very little". A large number of studies published in The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health also pointed out that sedentary, insufficient physical activity, and abnormal body posture have become significant risk factors for adolescent health, and heavy homework burden, short outdoor exercise time, high-calorie food intake, and increased screen time are all possible reasons for the decline in the physical health index of children and adolescents.
Children and adolescents have prominent sub-health problems, coupled with the fact that they are in a period of rapid growth and development, if they cannot be intervened in a timely manner, it will be relatively difficult to correct them in the future, and the consequences may be more serious. In the context of strengthening the prevention and control of sub-health problems among children and adolescents, more and more people have realized the importance of further strengthening the integration of sports and education and promoting the healthy development of adolescents. In recent years, the policies adopted by the state such as "double reduction" and "Healthy China 2030" are also conducive to reducing the academic pressure of primary and secondary school students and guiding their all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor.
Specifically, strengthening physical exercise is the only way to improve the physical fitness of children and adolescents. As the saying goes, "If you want to civilize your spirit, you must first barbarize your body; If Gou barbarizes his physique, the spirit of civilization will follow. However, judging from the phenomenon of primary and secondary school students being "captive" that continued to cause heated discussions last year, finding back the "ten minutes between classes that disappeared" not only requires the attention of higher departments and the promotion of **, but also needs to make the handling of campus injury accidents have laws to follow, and avoid giving schools and teachers excessive legal obligations. The implementation of new provisions in the new sports law, such as "ensuring that physical education class time is not occupied" and "ensuring that students participate in at least one hour of physical exercise every day during school", also puts forward requirements for the number of teachers and venue coordination. It is not difficult to see that in many cases, so that children can "exercise", it is necessary to have multi-level and multi-faceted joint guarantees.
Of course, it should also be noted that physical education not only includes school sports, but also family sports and social sports, and exercise should not be narrowly understood as exercising at school or attending physical education classes. Interestingly, studies have shown that parents' exercise behavior will directly affect their children's physical state. This also shows the importance of home-school co-education and cultivating the best habits and interests. Only by stimulating students' intrinsic motivation and making them "want to exercise" can exercise gradually evolve into an active choice and even a way of life.
Only when the "1" of health is guarded is meaningful, and the "0" behind it is meaningful - it will be possible to systematically intervene in the sub-health status of children and adolescents and promote the healthy development of children and adolescents. (Weichen).
