| Popis: | 101 The Internet, with recreational functions, will make high school students spend more time on it. The increase of the time on the Net may have a negative effect on physical fitness. Or, it is because of surfing the Net that students’ physical activities are influenced, which further affects physical fitness. In this thesis, I will delve into the relationship between physical fitness, students’ physical activities, and the Internet. The thesis hypothesizes that exercise would have a mediating effect between physical fitness and the time to surf online. For the purpose of getting data, 620 questionnaires are distributed to Yuda high school students. Among them, 602 questionnaires are returned, and 574 ones are effective, which allows me to analyze the amount of time on the Net and the states of exercise and physical fitness in descriptive statistics. Then, I will elaborate on the state of exercise based on regression analysis to see if it has a mediating effect. According to my research, averaging ten to eighteen hours on the Internet per week, high school students nowadays are generally accustomed to it. Gender greatly affects the amount of time to surf online. Male students averagely spend more time than female ones on the Net. In the aspect of physical fitness, high school students’ performances are worse now. Each item is below the average of bronze medal. In addition, the average build is overweight. Each grade and gender do not have obvious differences, except the standing long jump having an apparent difference between the two sexes. After knowing the time on the Net has the negative correlation with physical fitness and the state of exercise, moreover, I examine exercise as a mediating effect. This eventually proves that there should be a mediating effect between the time to surf online and physical fitness in the exercise status scale. Furthermore, I examine each dimension in the scale, finding three dimensions have mediating effects. Among them, the dimension of social sport can have the biggest mediating effect. From the result of the research, the state of exercise has a mediating effect on the impact of the Internet on physical fitness. What is more, the dimension of social sport can have the biggest effect, which means social activities can affect a student’s decision on whether to choose dynamic physical activities or the sedentary Internet surfing. The degree of the enthusiasm for exercise has a clear positive correlation with physical fitness, so friends are significant. Accordingly, by changing both students’ attitudes toward exercise and ways to make friends, I suggest that teachers could teach more sports knowledge and benefits in P. E. class, trying to build a correct concept of exercise so as to decrease the time to surf online, further increasing students’ physical fitness. |
