Research on the Influence of Ultimate Frisbee on the Health-Related Physical Fitness of Middle School Students

Objective: This article explores the influence of ultimate frisbee teaching in middle school physical education classes on the health-related physical fitness of middle school students, and provides suggestions for improving the effectiveness of middle school physical education teaching, enriching physical education curriculum content, and promoting the all-round development of middle school students' physical and mental health. Methods: Ninety middle school students in grade eight of Nanning Foreign Language School were divided into an experimental class (N=45)and a control class (N=45). The experimental class carried out ultimate frisbee teaching for 12 weeks, and the control class carried out regular physical education curriculum teaching for 12 weeks. A round of tests on various indicators of students in the two classes was conducted before the experimental intervention, and another test was conducted after 12 weeks of experimental intervention to compare the changes in related indicators such as body shape, cardiopulmonary fitness, muscle fitness, and flexibility fitness of students before and after the experiment. Results: (1)After 12 weeks of intervention, the height, vital capacity, sit-up and standing long jump scores of students in the experimental class significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the increase was better than that of the control class. (2)There was no significant difference in the changes of body weight, BMI value and sit-and-reach scores of students in the experimental class and the control class (P > 0.05), but the increase in the stretching distance of sit-and-reach of students in the experimental class before and after the experiment was greater than that of students in the control class. Conclusion: Ultimate frisbee can significantly improve the cardiopulmonary fitness and muscle fitness of middle school students and promote the height development of middle school students. Therefore, middle school students can adopt long-term regular ultimate frisbee in their future study and life to achieve the purpose of promoting growth and development and improving health-related physical fitness.
