An Empirical Study on the Influence of College Students’ Physical Fitness on the Level of Public Health

Abstract

As a compulsory course in universities, physical fitness is an important part of public health. At present, research on physical fitness lacks a comprehensive evaluation method, which cannot accurately guide public health. Based on this, this paper compares the key factors affecting public health, aiming to better guide public health and improve the level of public health. In this paper, 219 college students were selected as the research object, using statistical analysis methods, to find out the significant differences in influencing factors. Then, regression analysis is carried out on different influencing factors to determine the key factors affecting physical fitness. The results show that physical fitness level, exercise frequency, and physical injury are the key factors affecting physical fitness and have a serious impact on public health, with an impact level of about 70~80%. Therefore, colleges and sports departments should set out from the above factors, formulate a development plan for physical fitness, and promote the improvement of public health.

Exercise makes better mind: a data mining study on effect of physical activity on academic achievement of college students

“…Meanwhile, in a study involving 183 college students examining the relationship between physical fitness and academic performance, it was found that, apart from body mass index (BMI), all students’ physical fitness tests showed a significant positive correlation with average academic scores, indicating that high levels of physical fitness contribute positively to academic success ( Başkurt et al, 2020 ). Zhang (2022) further investigated the factors influencing physical fitness scores among college students and identified physical fitness level, exercise frequency, and physical injuries as key factors. Currently, there is a contentious debate in the academic community regarding the apparent association between physical activity and academic performance due to varying research methodologies and data sources employed ( Rodriguez et al, 2020 ).…”
