Abstract

This study analyzes the 2024 physical fitness test data of nearly 20,000 vocational college students under the Healthy China Initiative. Results show that while students maintain a healthy body mass index, vital capacity performance is critically low across all groups. Overall fitness is concerning, with only 68% achieving a passing score and merely 4.7% rated “Good” or “Excellent.” Female students consistently outperform males in strength, flexibility, and endurance. A decline in physical performance is observed with academic progression. To address these issues, we propose a three-pronged strategy: standardizing testing protocols to ensure accuracy, building a digital platform for real-time monitoring and early intervention, and implementing targeted, grade-specific health promotion programs. These measures aim to systematically improve student physical health by fostering sustainable exercise habits from enrollment to graduation.
