In recent years, with the implementation of physical education reforms for the middle school entrance examination in many parts of the country, parents have increasingly attached importance to their children's physical education performance, and a large number of youth sports training institutions have emerged. A recent investigation by reporters from the Rule of Law Daily found that some youth sports training institutions currently do not have standardized training programs, coach qualifications, training venues, and other aspects. Some institutions use the pretext of "physical education entrance examination" to sell anxiety to parents, and the phenomenon of overcharging through the establishment of so-called "guaranteed score sprint classes" is also common. The essence of sports is to educate people, and it is an important way to cultivate a sound personality and a strong physique. ”Chu Chaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, stated in an interview with reporters that solving this chaos requires collaborative governance. On the one hand, relevant departments should continue to increase their supervision of such training institutions and strictly punish illegal and irregular behavior. On the other hand, it is necessary to gradually guide teenagers and their parents to change their anxiety mentality, correctly understand the significance of physical exercise, and attach importance to long-term physical accumulation rather than short-term exam breakthroughs. Exaggerating the difficulty of exams exacerbates anxiety. Shao Kang, who lives in Haidian District, Beijing, recently enrolled his sixth grade child in a children's physical fitness training class. Shao Kang told reporters that many children around him attach great importance to cultural studies and lack physical exercise, so some parents choose to conduct "surprise" training for their children through extracurricular training institutions. Before enrolling children in classes, Shao Kang also conducted research. However, he is not very familiar with various assessment items such as body mass index (BMI), sitting and bending, skipping rope, and pull-up, and it is difficult for him to provide targeted training for his children. Therefore, on the advice of other parents, he chose to sign up for an off campus training institution to provide specialized physical training for his children. During the investigation, it was found that it is not uncommon for students to register for classes at off campus sports training institutions. Coach Yang Lei, who has been engaged in youth physical fitness training for a long time, told reporters that in recent years, with the implementation of physical education reforms in the middle school entrance examination in many parts of the country, physical education scores have generally been improved, and many parents have begun to attach importance to sports training. Taking Beijing as an example, Yang Lei said that the maximum score for the physical education entrance examination is 50 points, of which 30 points are for on-site exams and 20 points are for process assessments. On site exams include long-distance running, pull-up, basketball, standing long jump, swimming, and other events, while process assessments include physical fitness and health tests and computer-based exams on sports and health knowledge. In order to promote students' comprehensive development, the current physical education entrance examination program is diversified. Although some programs may have high requirements for movement norms and physical fitness, students can also choose based on their own characteristics and advantages. As long as they persist in daily exercise, it is not difficult to achieve high or even full scores. ”Yang Lei stated that some institutions nowadays intentionally exaggerate the difficulty of the physical education entrance examination and excessively exaggerate the "score ratio" of sports in order to attract more business. They use precise marketing to exacerbate parents' anxiety and thus pay for sports training. The quality of off campus training institutions varies. During the visit, it was learned that some parents have little objection to enrolling their children in off campus sports training institutions to improve their physical fitness. Shao Kang said that he can take his children for running, jumping rope and other activities, but some specialized training techniques and how to improve their cardiovascular function through effective exercise still need to be handed over to professionals. However, due to the mixed quality of off campus sports training institutions in the current market, many parents have "spent money to buy lessons". Li Jinping, who lives in Fengtai District, Beijing, once enrolled fifth grade students in an off campus physical training class. At that time, she found that the pricing in this field was very high, with some one-on-one courses even costing five to six hundred yuan per session. In the end, she chose a training institution for her children, where a coach trained 3 to 5 children at a time, resulting in a course cost of 250 yuan per hour and a half. Once when I went to pick up my child in advance, I found that the coach was sitting on the field playing with his phone. Several children were doing sit ups with their legs pressed against each other, but the coach neither guided nor counted the time. ”When searching for institutional theory, Li Jinping was told that children's physical training is mainly based on independent practice, and the role of coaches is more to assist children in avoiding injuries. In addition to arbitrary pricing and lack of standardized training, the qualifications of practitioners are also a major issue. Some parents have reported that some training institutions rent other sports venues to train their children, so there is no disclosure of coach information in the venue. When asked by parents, most institutions also use the names of "retired athletes" and "sports school coaches" to evade. In addition, there are currently some "personal institutions" on the market, where coaches directly recruit students for training, and the venues are often more casual, such as community squares, parks, and even individual wide roadside streets that can be used as teaching venues. Children's sports training is a very professional field, and the training content and requirements for the venue vary according to different ages. ”Yang Lei pointed out that if training is conducted in non-standard venues, it will have a certain impact on the bone development of teenagers and is also prone to safety accidents. Strengthening supervision and guiding a correct understanding. Journalists have noticed that some places have issued policy documents on the admission of sports related extracurricular training institutions. For example, the "Beijing Sports Off campus Training Institution Setting Standards (Trial)" issued in 2024 provides detailed regulations on off campus sports training facilities, safety guarantees, personnel qualifications, training management, etc. It is particularly emphasized to resist the thinking of "exam oriented sports"; It shall not be linked in any form to the physical education entrance examination, etc. The reform of physical education in the middle school entrance examination is aimed at comprehensively improving the physical health level of students, rather than being a pretext for some unscrupulous training institutions to "raise money". It is also necessary to avoid physical injuries to young people caused by overtraining. Chu Chaohui pointed out that some sports training institutions may adopt high-intensity training methods that teenagers are not accustomed to in order to pursue short-term results in a rush for quick success. This kind of training method that ignores science may cause serious damage to the bodies of teenagers. Regarding this, Chu Chaohui suggested that relevant departments should continue to increase their supervision of off campus sports training institutions, especially to carry out special rectification of illegal behaviors such as unlicensed education, false advertising, and price fraud. We need to strictly regulate the entry threshold, clarify the qualification requirements for coaches, and standardize the conditions of training venues. This is not only to protect the rights and interests of parents, but also to be responsible for the physical and mental health of children. In addition, it is necessary to guide teenagers and their parents to have a correct understanding of the positive significance of physical exercise, and to regard it as a long-term good lifestyle habit and a way to improve overall quality, rather than a short-term rush for the sake of "exam preparation". Sports training institutions should also abandon improper propaganda behaviors such as selling anxiety, strengthen industry self-discipline, start from improving themselves, and provide diversified sports training services for young people.
