[Amazing data] The excellent and good rate of female students is higher than that of male students.
On the playground of Luzhuang Experimental Primary School, the winter fun sports meeting is in full swing. Children in grades three to six engage in tug-of-war, table tennis, double rope skipping, long rope jumping and other activities in class. The team in each class consists of an equal number of boys and girls. In addition to skipping rope and kicking shuttlecock, girls are not inferior in strength events such as tug-of-war.
"Many children in our school are children of new citizens. They all like sports very much. Every activity, the children have a good time, but on the whole, girls play better than boys. " Wang Bo, a physical education teacher at the school, told the reporter, "For example, in the usual recess activities, girls can kick shuttlecock, throw sandbags and jump rope, and there are many ways to play, while boys can also play these items, but most of them are still limited to ball games. Girls are precocious than boys. Girls of the same age may be more lively than boys, and skipping can't beat them at all. "
This kind of performance of girls is also reflected in the physical test results. Wang Bo took out the physical examination results of all the students in the second half of this year, showing that there were 838 students in Luzhuang Experimental Primary School, including 47 boys1and 367 girls. Actually, there were 465 boys and 367 girls, with a qualified rate of 98.60%, including 98.50% boys and 98.63% girls. However, in terms of excellent rate, the gap between boys and girls has obviously widened, with the excellent rate of boys being 57.63% and that of girls being 69.50%. The excellent and good rate of girls is higher than that of boys 1 1.87%, which is surprising.
[Objective factors] Does the physical test standard make boys "suffer"?
In Deng Feng's view, the new physical examination program is a bit unfair to boys. "First of all, in primary school, many girls develop earlier than boys, and their body shape and strength are obviously stronger than boys of the same age. At the same time, sitting forward and skipping rope in physical examination items are more conducive to girls' play. Sitting forward mainly tests flexibility, and boys are naturally inferior to girls in this respect. Skipping rope mainly tests sensitivity, and boys are also at a disadvantage. "
For junior high school students, boys mainly suffer from pull-ups. "Many students in Grade One don't have much time to practice, which leads to unsatisfactory grades." Chen Hui, a sports researcher in Xishan District, said that according to the physical examination data in Xishan District, it is indeed a big problem for boys to do pull-ups, but the phenomenon that girls' physical examination scores are higher than boys' still exists. He admits that "the physical examination in junior high school is still more conducive to girls' play in the overall project setting. "
He said that this year's "National Students' Physical Health Standards (Revised)" lowered the scoring requirements of several items in primary and secondary schools, but increased the pull-ups in junior high schools. This is a physical fitness test for boys' collective "fear", and the performance of "tragic" is normal. This is also one of the reasons why we see that the physical quality of girls in primary and junior high schools is generally better than that of boys.
[Deep cause] Lack of exercise causes a "heavyweight" figure.
Although "losing money" in the physical fitness test, the more important reason for the decline of boys' physical fitness is the overall lack of exercise, and many boys have become more and more "heavyweight" bodies.
"When our school orders school uniforms every year, I will notice such a phenomenon that more and more boys need to change their school uniforms because of their special size. This year, there are more than 0/000 boys' school uniforms in our school/KLOC-and more than 50 of them need to be replaced because of their' special body shape'. "A teacher in a primary school in Wuxi told reporters that the so-called special body shape means that children are too fat and out of proportion, so they can't wear school uniforms designed for normal body shape.
In the eyes of many primary and secondary school teachers in Wuxi, many boys' bodies are also "amazing". "There is a boy in our school who is only 160 cm tall and weighs 180 kg." Teacher Deng Feng said that he has always paid more attention to students' physique. According to him, at present, boys weighing 130 kg account for 10%. "Although some children are fat, their athletic ability is OK, but most children are even more reluctant to exercise once they are fat, forming a vicious circle that the fatter they are, the more unwilling they are to exercise, and the fatter they are."
He told reporters that although Binhu District has formulated a "sports prescription" for children in the district according to their lack of sports ability, many parents still think that it doesn't matter if boys are fat. "Many parents I contact think that boys are born with big brains and don't pay attention to diet the day after tomorrow. Once the child is fat, parents will think that the child will be thin in the future, but in fact, most children will be thin when they are fat. " Facing the child's figure, girls should pay more attention. "If parents find that their daughter is fat, they will still pay attention to it, let the children strengthen their exercise, and have the desire to make the children slim down. I think this is also an important factor that causes boys to be inferior to girls in physical test scores. "
In his view, not only are more and more boys overweight, but also fewer and fewer children like competitive sports. "In the past, when I was in physical education class, there were always a few children who liked football and basketball when chatting with children, and we could still chat. But now chatting with boys, they always talk about computer games, how to upgrade, and how to brush equipment, which I can't touch at all. " He said that some boys in school are taken care of by their grandmothers and mothers since childhood. They eat more and exercise less, so their sports ability is naturally relatively weak. There are still many boys raised at home like girls, lacking "wildness", which also leads to the overall physical decline.
