Impact of Physical Education Informatization on the Physical Fitness of College Students in Guangdong, China

Abstract

The development of college students' physical fitness has become an area of great concern in Chinese university physical education. This study aims to explore the effects of physical education teaching informatization on college students' physical fitness through quasi-experimental research methods. Through the introduction of informatization teaching methods in university physical education courses, a more effective learning and teaching process can be achieved. In this study, 15 freshmen from Guangzhou Software College were selected as respondents, and relying on the Internet, an eight-week informatized physical education teaching was carried out using video instruction, AI interaction, AR simulation, and Internet platform push. The pre-test and post-test of physical fitness of the respondents at various stages before and after the intervention of informatization technology were conducted by Chinese college students' physical fitness test standards, and the learning experience of the respondents in physical education class was investigated by questionnaire survey method, and then the measured results were statistically counted and analyzed by statistical methods. The results of the study showed that the physical fitness levels of the respondents after receiving the 8-week informationalized physical education intervention were improved to different degrees compared to the pre-intervention level. In addition, the results of the questionnaire about the participants' learning experience showed that the informatized teaching could stimulate the respondents' interest in learning, increase the intensity and frequency of exercise, and cultivate the habit of exercise, and that the students were more actively involved in the classroom activities in the informatized teaching environment, formed a closer cooperative relationship with their peers, and enhanced the learning experience. Therefore, this study preliminarily verified the positive impact of physical education teaching informatization on college students' physical fitness. It is suggested that more informatized teaching means should be gradually introduced into university physical education teaching to promote the overall development of students and improve the level of physical fitness. Future studies can further explore in depth the applicability of informatization teaching in different physical education courses and different disciplines to provide more scientific guidance for university physical education teaching.
