The teaching mode of fitness exercise prescriptions for college students in physical education conforms to the scientific principles and rules of fitness, which can adapt to the characteristics of students' individual physiological functions and stimulate their interest in learning.
To analyze the effect of prescribed exercise teaching on the sports quality and mental health of college students.
The participants of the study were 240 students in our class of 2021, of which 142 were men and 98 were women. The 240 students were randomly divided into an experimental group using the exercise prescription teaching model and a control group using the conventional teaching model. The experimental and control groups were divided into four classes of 30 students each. The teaching activities of the two teaching mode groups were strictly controlled, and the same tests were used before and after the experiment to test the subjects' exercise quality (in-cluding standing long jump, 50 m race, 800 m race, sit-ups, sit-and-reach), physical form (including height, weight, Ketorolai index), cardiopulmonary function (including heart rate, blood pressure, spirometry, 12-min running distance, maximum oxygen intake) and mental health (SCL-90, including somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoia, psychotic symptoms) to understand the effects of the exercise prescription teaching mode on students' physical and mental health status.
There were differences in the exercise scores of standing long jump, 50 m, 800 m/1000 m running, sit-ups, and sit-and-reach in the experimental group after the experiment compared with those before the experiment, and the above indices of the experimental group were different from those of the control group after the experiment (P < 0.05). There were differences in body weight and Ketorolai index in the experimental group after the experiment compared to those before the experiment, and the indices of the experimental group were also different from those of the control group after the experiment (P < 0.05). After the experiment, there were differences in spirometry, 12-min running distance, and maximum oxygen intake in the experimental group compared to those before the experiment, and the indices of the experimental group were also different from those of the control group after the experiment (P < 0.05). After the experiment, the indicators of somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and hostility in the experimental group were different from those in the pre-experimental group, and the indexes of the experimental group were also different from those of the control group after the experiment (P < 0.05).
Exercise prescription teaching can mobilize college students' consciousness, enthusiasm, and initiative; expand personalities; enhance physical fitness and improve their mental health more than the conventional fitness exercise prescription teaching method.
Core Tip: In order to better create a positive and optimistic outlook on life for college students and increase their interest in physical exercise, it is necessary to apply the physical health prescription course in the process of school physical education teaching. By using sports prescription teaching, teachers develop targeted teaching contents and methods in the teaching class according to the physical quality and health status of students, combine the teaching materials with students' self-learning, self-exercise, self-control, self-regulation and self-evaluation, give full play to students' main role, mobilize students' subjective initiative, realize the transformation from exam-oriented education to quality education, and promote students' all-round development. In view of the continuous decline in the physical and mental health of college students, based on the perspective of special teaching of physical education in colleges and universities, this study starts with the diagnosis of students' physique, provides students with personalized sports prescription teaching experiments with the main purpose of promoting physique, and provides scientific basis for improving students' current physical and mental health, guiding students to conduct scientific and reasonable physical exercise, and improving the effectiveness of school physical education.
