Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen, November 22 Question: How to have a good physical education class? ——A research report from Shenzhen Futian

Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Haoming

Recently, with the introduction of a series of reform policies, physical education is receiving great attention from the society, and good physical education is the core of campus sports.

A few days ago, the "Research Seminar on Youth Healthy Physical Fitness Promotion and Intervention" was held in Shenzhen. The reporter had the opportunity to observe the physical education classes and large breaks of several primary and secondary schools in Futian District, Shenzhen. Here, the physical education class is saying goodbye to the model of "running circles first and then herding sheep" and entering the era of "smart sports".

Behind a heart rate line

On a sunny morning, in the playground of the Primary School Affiliated to Futian Academy of Sciences, there was a major physical education break. In the dynamic music, the primary school students completed 12 individual exercises, including squat jumps, bent-over steps, and lunge exchange jumps. It can train movements, and the heart rate real-time monitoring data keeps beating on the big screen on the side of the playground.

After the big class break, the data report was generated immediately - the average heart rate of 38 students wearing heart rate monitoring bracelets reached 138, and the heart rate was above 120 for more than 17 minutes...

In fact, there is a fluctuating heart rate curve in the teaching plans of every physical education teacher in a school participating in the smart sports project in Futian District. In a class, from warm-up activities, to the main content of the class, to relaxation and recovery, the exercise intensity is clear at a glance.

Behind a heart rate line is an important proposition of how to give a good physical education class scientifically.

As the organizer of this seminar and the leader of the smart sports project, Wu Jian, director of the Institute of Sports, Health and Art of the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, was deeply moved.

"Scheduling full physical education classes every week and one hour of physical exercise every day are the time requirements for young people's physical activities at school. However, for a long time, there has been a lack of quantifiable exercise load requirements for classroom teaching and major break-in activities, resulting in classroom teaching, Sports activities between classes are inefficient or even ineffective in enhancing students' physical fitness. The youth health promotion and intervention designed based on the concept of scientific training, through the monitoring of students' exercise load, can accurately grasp the data of students' heart rate, exercise density and functional level, and then Use the big data application platform to analyze the situation of students in real time, achieve real-time feedback and timely adjustment, and guide physical education teachers to organize physical education activities scientifically and rationally." Wu Jian said.

Farewell to "running circles first and then herding sheep"

In a physical education class of "Basic Movement and Physical Fitness" in the fifth grade of Liyuan Primary School in Futian District, the students had to master six movements including "horse trot" and "forward slide", three kinds of center of gravity of low, middle and high, straight line, "Z" " and other four routes, single, double, and following three combinations of movement, the students kept switching among 216 permutations and combinations, and achieved the set teaching goals in a happy classroom atmosphere.

Today, the physical education classes of primary and secondary schools in Futian District have completely bid farewell to the model of "running circles first and then herding sheep". The sports teaching and research personnel have continuously adjusted and optimized classroom teaching according to the feedback of smart system data through scientific curriculum design, so as to achieve the goal of the previous class. The goal of high-quality physical education.

In Futian, no matter it is a class break, or courses such as track and field, basketball, martial arts, etc., the management of heart rate has become a "standard configuration", and the exercise load and exercise density are adjusted and optimized according to the heart rate. happy."

Wu Jian introduced that in the smart sports system developed by the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, exercise load monitoring is only one of the subsystems. In addition, it also includes home exercise guidance for students, analysis of student sports competitions, student physical health management and high-quality sports courses. Subsystems such as live evaluation, through the connection of the cloud platform, form a large database of students and teachers across the country, intelligently match courses and exercise programs for students, so as to achieve the goal of promoting students' physical and mental health, improving students' physical fitness, and promoting school sports reform .

Li Xiaodong, a physical education researcher at the Futian District Academy of Education Sciences, said that Futian District has participated in the pilot research on youth health and physical fitness promotion and intervention since 2018, monitoring more than 1,000 sessions of physical education classes and large breaks, 75 schools, and more than 120,000 students participating in the line Go to the "Physical Fitness Daily Training" platform. The passing rate of students' physical fitness has increased from 90% in 2018 to 95%, and the excellent rate has increased from 35% to 43%.

Why do we have physical education?

In the physical education classes of several elementary and middle schools in Futian District, what impressed the reporter the most was the students' vigorous posture, happy smiling faces and never giving up after experiencing setbacks. Isn't this what physical education should bring to children?

Recently, with the promulgation of a series of reform policies, physical education is receiving high attention from the society, and "100 points in the physical education entrance examination" has sparked heated discussions. In the midst of the divergence, physical education practitioners, students and parents should torture their hearts from time to time-behind "how to take a good physical education class" is "why do we take physical education classes".

A thought-provoking slide presented by Wu Jian in his speech at this seminar. In a coordinate system composed of "sports" as the abscissa axis and "education" as the ordinate axis, the first quadrant on the upper right is "Physical Education—Sound Personality".

The baton of scores is a "double-edged sword". Anxious parents, teachers and students preparing for exams, sky-high sports training classes... some restlessness and fanaticism have begun to show. "Enjoy fun, strengthen your physique, improve your personality, and temper your will"—we should always remind ourselves that we must never forget our original intention when it comes to physical education.
