Why are college students' physical fitness relatively low now?
At present, there are many reasons for the low physical fitness of college students in China. First of all, with the migration of rural population to cities, this generation of children was born in cities since childhood. They usually live in buildings and occasionally travel. There is no natural environment such as mountains and rivers around, and there is a lack of natural exercise since childhood. Some children even live in high-rise buildings and usually have no chance to travel with other children. My parents thought they were dirty and smelly when they were young, and no one cared. Now that they have their own children, they want him to take care of them. So today's children have less fun running, and they have to bear a heavy academic burden when they grow up. They sit in the classroom reading books and doing problems every day, and their interests are limited to piano and art, but few people care about sports interest classes such as basketball and taekwondo.

? Another reason is that parents don't take physical fitness as a very important thing, thinking that as long as they don't get sick, they won't let their children engage in manual labor in the future. However, a person's perseverance and other valuable qualities that can't be compensated by other things. In European and American schools, if a boy is thin and muscular, he will be regarded as an alien by his classmates, but not in Asia. Asians pay more attention to the cultivation of temperament, which I think is also related to the aesthetics of the East and the West.

? Another reason, I think, is the popularity of social media, especially the increasingly powerful functions of mobile phones, which have attracted children's attention. Children are exposed to electronic products since childhood, which is very popular in colleges and universities. Compared with outdoor sports, they prefer to take time out to play video games, but they don't go out to play basketball or run. Electronic products make our life more and more convenient, and also make us more and more lazy. Now there is a large group of otaku, and even otaku culture has developed very strongly. Students have less time to breathe fresh outdoor air, let alone take part in physical exercise.
