China News Client, Beijing, July 18th (Xing Rui) With the whistle whispering in the major examination rooms, countless students have completed an important lesson in their lives. Say goodbye to tense middle school life, they will step into the wonderful university campus.
Speaking of the various courses in the university, in addition to professional courses, the students most undoubtedly expect a wide variety of physical education courses. Unlike traditional sports courses such as football, table tennis, and swimming, which are common in middle schools, some college sports courses can not only take credits, but are also fun.
Last year, Northwestern University once opened a "tree climbing class", which was sought after by many students. In this special class, both boys and girls will abandon the quiet side of the peace, climb the ropes, and leap between the trees.
The trees used in the "Climbing Class" are usually four or five floors high, and the tree diameter should be more than ten centimeters. Before the class, the teacher will personally "step on" the climbing trees. When climbing a tree, an anti-falling device is set on the tree. Students must wear a helmet, goggles, and long trousers and safety boots before climbing the tree.
Students are in class.
Northwest University’s offering of this course is not a whim, and the skills students learn during the tree climbing process can help them work more safely in the future. According to teacher Chen Chao: "Northwestern University has many superior disciplines, such as geology, biology, archaeology, etc. For professional students, we hope that the professional rope technology they learn in the process of climbing trees will enable them Do professional work more safely. On the other hand, climbing trees can also expand their research depth."
In fact, "tree climbing classes" are offered in many universities in China. Xiamen University has been on the hot search frequently because of the colorful sports classes. In addition to such special courses as tree climbing and golf, in the new school year of 2019, Xiamen University also opened a "paddle board class", allowing students to experience the thrill of "water float".
Paddle boarding is also called paddle board surfing. People need to stand upright on the paddle board and paddle with a single paddle to make the paddle board move on the water. Unlike other water sports, this sport requires a strong balance. The user needs to move forward and backward on the paddle board and move left and right to balance the paddle board and control the direction in which the paddle board slides.
Xiamen University students are taking paddle board class.
The first lesson in paddle boarding is to withstand the test of falling into the water. Some students said: "After falling into the water, there is a feeling that the paddles are united, that is, you don't feel afraid of falling for the second time after falling into the water. I remember when I first started, I just stood up The legs are shaking, but after falling down, the legs will not shake, because I feel that there is no fear."
For many students who are overweight, physical education is often a nightmare. In order to help students lose weight, Nanjing Agricultural University specially opened a fat-reducing course. The same is "flipping meat", students of Nanjing Agricultural University not only do not spend money, but also get credits. Such a good thing is really envious of others.
This fat reduction class is only for students with a BMI greater than 28 or a body fat rate of more than 30%. After the students are selected, they should also check blood lipids and other indicators as a control after the course. The fat reduction class takes three classes a week. The content of the class includes sit-ups, crank support, tablet support, climbing steps, treadmill jogging, and park walks.
After the end of the course, the teacher will also follow the guidance. At the end of the semester, an assessment test will be carried out. Obese students will be able to get a compulsory credit for physical education if they lose 7% of their body weight or 10% of their body fat rate. There have been students who successfully lost 51 pounds in two semesters. Such fairy courses are only available in other schools.

Once launched, it attracted 170 students from different grades and majors to register for electives. The ratio of men to women is about 3:2. China News Agency reporter Wang Yuanshe
College physical education courses include not only fashionable and tall courses like tennis and golf, but also traditional sports. Zhejiang University incorporated the dragon and lion dance class into the physical education elective system for the first time in 2017. In that year, 170 students from different majors applied for a ratio of about 3:2.
Dragon dance and lion dance have always been excellent folk arts in China. People will use the dragon dance to pray for the smooth weather and abundant grain in the festive days.
It is reported that Zhejiang University’s dragon and lion class learns competitive dragon dance. It is a standard formed by the normalization of Chinese folk dance dragons with various types and different forms, such as louver dragon, bench dragon, lantern dragon, and grass dragon. Sports events. Under this set of standards, the dragon dance venue, equipment specifications, action completion points and scoring system, etc., have a unified and specific set of regulations. Based on this, the curriculum is designed, and what the dragon dance class teaches, how to teach, and how to take the exam becomes clear.
If you are a student who likes to be quiet, Tai Chi Softball is undoubtedly a physical education course for you. That's right, it's the softball that grandpa and grandma like to play on the square.

The tai chi flex ball requires participants to hold a special racquet with a cushioned, soft rubber surface with air holes, tossing the ball up and down by arc-shaped induction. It can be thrown by two players, played by one player, passed by several people or competed by the net.
Many schools such as Xiamen University and Northwest University offer this course. Don't look at the uncle and aunt when playing softball, the movement is relaxed and comfortable, but the movement will consume a lot of physical strength in the strength and position control. When a ball comes down, the sweat will be light and the waist will be soft.
In addition to being able to keep fit and healthy, some physical education classes can also help you find your childhood memories. Jimei University once offered "Cockfighting Lesson" as an elective course to students. Don’t get me wrong, this “cockfighting” does not require you to bring a chicken in class, but a game we often played when we were young: the two hold the ankles of one leg, stand on one leg, and hit each other with their knees.
The scientific name of this course is called "Foot Fighter". It is said that excellent students also have the opportunity to enter the foot fighter training team and participate in national competitions.
Data map: "Playing pinball" has become an official course of Xi'an Institute of Physical Education. Students can "play" in the classroom justly, which not only cultivates the team spirit and cooperation between teammates, but also trains the thinking ability. Yan Wushe
If you think "cockfighting" is not interesting enough, then the "Playing Pinball" class at Xi'an Institute of Physical Education will allow you to play the glass ball in class justly.
The so-called pinball is a sports event in which a player uses the thumb of any hand to cooperate with the index finger and the middle finger to hold the main ball, and then the ball is ejected by the thumb to aim at hitting the secondary ball and scoring. Although "playing pinball" sounds common to everyone, since it is a course, it is not "what you want to play". It has certain requirements on our fingers and strength.
If the student is distracted and distracted, the ball may be missed. In addition, we must always pay attention to the distribution of the balls on the table and plan for the next ball. If you can't hit, you can't get it right, but that's what you want to do.
Don't look at these physical education classes sound strange, but the content of the course is close to life, and it also has certain practical significance. Although they are not as important as professional courses, if you learn a "technique" between the four years of college, you will certainly have a good memory afterwards. (Finish)
