INTRODUCTION

Physical health monitoring, as an important way for our government to understand the current situation of adolescent students’ physical health, has limitations only from the test and reported data, and can not reflect the effect of the whole monitoring work comprehensively and multidirectional.11 Du JJ, Zhao Y. Study on the construction of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of adolescent physical health. Journal of Kaili University. 2018;36(6):125-30. Teenagers’ physical health is related to the healthy growth of teenagers, the happiness of families, the inheritance and development of nationalities and the prosperity and growth of the country, which is of great significance to teenagers, families, nations and countries.22 Gao T, Liu J. Application of improved random forest algorithm and fuzzy mathematics in physical fitness of athletes. Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems. 2021, 40(2): 2041-53.

College students’ physical health test mainly includes body shape, physical function, physical quality, etc. Specific test items include height, weight, vital capacity, standing long jump, grip strength (for boys), sitting forward flexion (for girls) and step test.33 Du YW, Fang J, Wang P. Ecological Security Evaluation of Marine Ranching Based on DEMATEL-Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation. Mathematical Problems in Engineering. 2021, 1-14.,44 Luo X, Zhao H, Chen Y. Research on User Experience of Sports Smart Bracelet Based on Fuzzy Comprehensive Appraisal and SSA-BP Neural Network. Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience, 2022, 1-14. According to the results of College Students’ physical fitness test, using the methods of system clustering, one-way ANOVA and discriminant analysis, the models of BMI grading, cluster analysis, ANOVA and comprehensive evaluation grading of physical health were established, and the influence degree and health status of College Students’ physical health problems were analyzed by using MATLAB, SPSS and other software.55 Wang Z, Luo HB, He JD. Discussion and practice of improving college students’ physical health-taking Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an example. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine Management. 2020;28(323):9-12.,66 Lv L, Li WG, Bian Y. Evaluation on the Implementation Effect of National Students’ Physical Health Standards Revised in 2014—Taking Guangdong Universities as an Example. Journal of Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education. 2017;37(2):4-8. The purpose of this paper is to explore the significant influence of weight on college students’ physical health and establish a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of college students’ physical health.

Research objects and methods

Object of study

A total of 258 students from Q University, including 144 boys and 114 girls, aged between 17 and 21, were selected by cluster sampling.

Research technique

Collecting the data of physical examination of Q University students in recent two years, the research group collected the literature materials such as “physical examination of colleges and universities” and “students’ physical health” through the school library information center.

According to the basic principles of comprehensive evaluation of physical fitness, the physiological factors are established on the basis of referring to the measurement indexes formulated by the Institute of Physical Fitness Research and foreign physical measurement schemes and referring to the relevant measurement indexes in relevant literature. The symptom checklist 90 (SCI-90) was used for investigation, and then SPSS11.0 software was used for factor analysis of various psychological factors, thus establishing psychological factors.

Use Excel to arrange, input and analyze data. In the evaluation of monitoring effect, there are many factors involved and the quantitative analysis is ambiguous. In order to solve this problem, the fuzzy vector single value in the comprehensive fuzzy scoring method is used for evaluation, and the grade score is given for fuzzy comprehensive scoring.

Model assumption and model establishment

Model hypothesis

In order to ensure the accuracy and rationality of the model solution, we put forward the following assumptions in combination with practical problems:

  1. Assume that the influencing factors involved in this paper play a decisive role in physical health;

  2. It is assumed that the selected data for model establishment and solution are representative and true and reliable;

  3. It is assumed that the physical condition of the students taking the physical fitness test is at a normal level;

  4. It is assumed that the deviation of randomly selected data is caused by the students’ failure to comply with the physical test specifications;

  5. It is assumed that none of the selected test students have any unexpected situation on the same day;

  6. Assume that there is no other person to replace the test and there is no cheating behavior;

  7. Assume that the invigilator truthfully fills in the test results of the students.

Model building

The general steps of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation are as follows:

  1. Combined with specific problems, select appropriate evaluation factors and establish factor sets: U = {u1, u2, &, um};

  2. Determine the weight matrix of each factor A%: A% = {a1, a2, &,am}, and k=1mak=1,ak[0,1];

  3. Establish an appropriate comment set:V = {v1, v2, &,vm};

  4. Evaluate each factor to obtain a single factor evaluation matrix:

    A%(rij)m×n=[r1r2r1nr1r2r2nrm1rm2rm]

  5. Comprehensive evaluation: B% = A% . R%{b1, b2, &,bn}. In which:bj=i=1m(ai.rj),j=1,2,,n. And give the evaluation results according to a certain rule.

RESEARCH RESULTS AND ANALYSIS

Basic profile

Table 1 gives the mean and standard deviation s of 12 physiological factors, which can be used to calculate the membership function in the following fuzzy evaluation.

Table 1
Q university students’ physical fitness test numerical statistics.

Analysis of students’ evaluation results of aerobics elective classes in Q University

In the analysis of the results of the two indicators at the learning level, there is a bad review on the mastery of knowledge. The reason may be that physical examination pays too much attention to the practical process and ignores the study of theoretical knowledge, so it disagrees with the mastery of relevant knowledge (Figure 1).

Figure 1
Analysis of learning level results.

Through this physical monitoring, most students in this class have learned some knowledge and mastered the test contents. In the mastery of skills and knowledge, the mastery of skills is better than the mastery of knowledge, because in the process of physical fitness test, students can clearly understand the skills to be mastered in the test items, and then optimize the test results according to their own qualities and skills. Therefore, on the whole, the evaluation results of the learning level are still good.

As shown in Figure 2, in the monitoring results layer, 24% of the students expressed their strong agreement that this monitoring is conducive to improving the physical condition and reaching the excellent level; Similarly, 24% of the students agree with the accuracy and reliability of the test data, and 0.6% of the students think that there may be deviations in the data. Therefore, in the collection of data, it is necessary to train the monitoring personnel before measurement, and timely check the testing instruments in order to improve the accuracy of the data.

Figure 2
Result layer result analysis.

Analysis of physical health level

For 114 girls, the proportion of “fail”, “pass”, “good” and “excellent” in each index is calculated as the membership degree, and then the data are analyzed, and the results are shown in Table 2.

Table 2
Membership degree of girls’ corresponding order to (xi, yi).

Secondly, for 144 boys, the ratio of “fail”, “pass”, “good” and “excellent” in each index is calculated as the membership degree, and then the data are analyzed, and the results are shown in Table 3.

Table 3
Membership degree of boys’ corresponding order to (xi, yi).

Above, the membership degree of male and female students’ physical fitness test is obtained and the data are analyzed, from which the comprehensive membership degree of male and female students can be obtained as follows:

  • Height standard body mass index:

    C1=(0.22,0.37,0.24,0.19)

  • Vital capacity index:

    C2=(0.12,0.39,0.18,0.26)

  • Index of flexion index of sitting body:

    C3=(0.07,0.42,0.15,0.34)

  • Standing long jump index:

    C4=(0.08,0.54,0.33,0.21)

  • The 50-meter dash index:

    C5=(0.06,0.52,0.19,0.29)

  • 800 m/1 000 m index:

    C6=(0.19,0.43,0.14,0.24)

Therefore, the fuzzy relation R of U→V can be determined, and the membership degree of the fuzzy relation is a matrix of 6 × 4 order, that is, the fuzzy relation matrix is:

R= [ 0.22 0.37 0.24 0.19 0.12 0.39 0.18 0.26 0.07 0.42 0.15 0.34 0.08 0.54 0.33 0.21 0.06 0.52 0.19 0.29 0.19 0.43 0.14 0.24 ]

According to the calculation of membership degree, we can get:

The comprehensive evaluation of body shape U1 is: R1 = λ1C1; Comprehensive evaluation of physical function state U2 is:

R 2 = ( λ 2 , λ 3 ) [ C 2 C 3 ]

Comprehensive evaluation of physical fitness U3 is:

R 2 = ( λ 4 , λ 5 , λ 6 ) [ C 4 C 5 C 6 ]

According to the formula, the comprehensive evaluation of adolescents’ physical health status can be obtained as follows:

R 2 = ( λ 1 , λ 2 , λ 3 , λ 4 , λ 5 , λ 6 ) [ C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 C 5 C 6 ] = ( 0.12,0.18,0.24,0.37,0.2 7 , 0.31 ) R = [ 0.22 0.37 0.24 0.19 0.12 0.39 0.18 0.26 0.07 0.42 0.15 0.34 0.08 0.54 0.33 0.21 0.06 0.52 0.19 0.29 0.19 0.43 0.14 0.24 ] = (0.11,0.32,0.14,0.22 )

The score of R4 is 0.81 < 1, which means that the overall physical health level of students is lower than the standard physical examination level.

Suggestion

Improve school sports facilities, increase openness, build a school physical health education culture, create a good environmental atmosphere, strengthen the publicity of sports characteristics in campus culture, and integrate sports into campus culture. It is suggested that the weak links should be strengthened and the work quality of the superior links should be maintained in the future physical monitoring work. Take targeted methods and measures to enhance the efficiency of organizational work, so as to improve the effect of physical fitness monitoring. Colleges and universities should pay attention to malnutrition and overweight in all height and weight segments, as well as the body shape index of obese college students. It is suggested that diversification should be adopted in physical education teaching methods, and targeted measures should be formulated to improve their morphological structure, so as to promote the normal development of college students’ physical form.

The establishment of various sports associations or clubs in colleges and universities can strengthen the links of various links in physical education. To strengthen the publicity of community youth sports activities, build community sports culture atmosphere, strengthen the organization and guidance of community youth sports activities, and improve the scientific and safety of community youth sports activities. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of college students’ physical fitness is also helpful for reasonable grouping and targeted training in physical education class, which has a good reference value for teaching, and is meaningful and popularized for scientific evaluation of students’ physical fitness. It is suggested to try out the student sports association system or club system in Q University, so as to stimulate students’ interest in strengthening physical exercise, integrate physical education with competition and entertainment, and achieve the purpose of strengthening students’ physique and improving their health level.

Strengthening the hardware construction of sports facilities in colleges and universities and creating a good exercise environment are essential inputs for strengthening students’ physique. It is suggested that colleges and universities should increase investment in sports venues and equipment, so that students can engage in physical exercise in an environment with complete facilities and good activity atmosphere, so as to promote students to develop the habit of exercising consciously, cultivate students’ lifelong sports ideas and develop the habit of exercising consciously.

We should set up a new teaching goal system of physical health education course, build a teaching model with physical health education characteristics, comprehensively apply traditional teaching models, actively introduce new physical education teaching models, comprehensively sort out the teaching process of physical health education course, carry out “sunshine long-distance running” activities in response to national requirements, formulate “sunshine long-distance running” programs, and promote the formation of students’ exercise habits in a large area with characteristic activities. Improve the “Implementation Plan of Physical Health Test”, make more investigations and interviews, and work out effective measures to ensure the smooth development of physical test. Therefore, it is suggested to set up a college students’ physique monitoring center, which is responsible for testing the physical health of all college students, and provides scientific and objective basis for the education authorities to effectively monitor the physical health of college students.

Through the quantitative analysis and evaluation of all levels, the students’ physique monitoring achieved the highest score in the evaluation of organizational benefits, while the behavior change was the lowest. Grasp the change of the new physical test standard, strive to increase the number of students with “excellent” and “good” ratio, and gradually reduce the proportion of failing. The influence of psychology on physical health is far greater than that of physical health on psychology. Therefore, it is necessary to guide college students to take part in physical exercise purposefully, and to improve their mental health by bearing the outcome of the competition, which is of guiding significance to promote the overall improvement of college students’ health.

CONCLUSION

In this paper, from BMI, one standard deviation, fuzzy mathematics and other angles, using a variety of statistical methods, and also passing various test scales, it is concluded that there is no significant difference between the significant impact of body weight on college students’ physical health and the physical health of students from different places of origin. The current situation of female students’ physical health is mainly concentrated in the passing areas, and the common characteristics are: There are very few students who can reach the excellent standard, and there are not many students with good proportion. From the perspective of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the physical test results of Q University students are quite different from the standard physical test level, and the physical health status of young students is worrying. As we all know, the most direct, effective and economical way to improve the physical health level of young people is to actively and scientifically participate in physical exercise.
