DEVELOPING EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE EXTRACURRICULAR PHYSICAL TRAINING ACTIVITIES OF DORMITORY STUDENTS AT CAN THO UNIVERSITY, VIETNAM

Extracurricular sports are voluntary activities for students, organized outside of school hours to help them enjoy recreational time, improve physical fitness, and stay away from social evils. This study aims to develop evaluation criteria for the current state of extracurricular physical training among students living in the dormitories of Can Tho University. Based on both theoretical and practical foundations, eight evaluation criteria were proposed through a survey of 27 experts, including administrators and physical education lecturers, along with a survey of 392 students. The results show that the students have a strong awareness of the importance of extracurricular physical training. However, their level of regular participation remains limited due to a lack of time, facilities, and access to information. Popular sports such as jogging, walking, badminton, and volleyball are favored, but the number of sports clubs and teams remains limited. Thus, the study attempted to propose solutions such as improving sports facilities, increasing the organization of extracurricular physical activities, and establishing sports club models to promote physical training movements among students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0904/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
