ABSTRACT

Sport-based physical education focuses on sports and other physical activities. Students have the opportunity to participate in a range of physical activities, learn the rules and regulations of a variety of sports, and develop collaboration and sportsmanship in an organized and extensive sports-based physical education program. As such, this quantitative study examines how sports-based PE affects the physical activity of chosen Chinese junior high school students. Numbers are used to test hypotheses and answer research inquiries. A researcher-made survey questionnaire was given to 349 randomly selected junior high school students at a selected school in China. This was utilized to gather data on their physical activity and sports program perspectives. The mean scores revealed that junior high school students perceive sports-based physical education programs increase physical activity across all four categories. The study indicated no significant difference is the result when grouped according to sex.
