Features: Sports are a part of education, and education is the fundamental function of sports. The process of participating in sports activities is a process of being educated. Especially in schools, since students are in the period of growth and development and the formation of their worldview, physical education not only guides and educates students in physical exercise but also provides education in willpower and moral norms. Sports serve as a carrier for spreading values, determined by their technical, collective, international, ceremonial, and competitive characteristics. Sports can inspire patriotic enthusiasm, boost national spirit, and educate people to align with society. Through participation and observation of sports, people are profoundly influenced socially, receiving invaluable social education. Sociologists believe that sports are a microcosm, a focal point, and a reflection of society. Sports permeate all levels of society, and the level of sports development is an important indicator of social progress and human civilization.
University sports, as an important part of sports, play a role in cultivating high-quality talents that other forms of education cannot replace. With the rapid development of modern society, the social status of university sports continues to rise. Sports have a significant impact on students' psychology and personality. Through teaching sports knowledge to college students, university sports enable them to consciously follow the laws and rules of sports in physical activities, thus participating in social activities with a correct and positive attitude. Sports knowledge is a part of the treasure trove of human knowledge. College students are in a period of curiosity, and systematically studying sports knowledge, techniques, skills, and scientific exercise methods can enhance students' sports cultural literacy, cultivate good exercise habits, and use scientific sports knowledge to correctly guide future sports activities, establishing the concept of lifelong sports.
For this purpose, we organized a group of teachers, primarily young people, to write this textbook, "Sports and Health," with the intention of actively conveying the new era's school education philosophy of "health" to students. While studying sports theory, students will also master the scientific methods of a healthy lifestyle, cultivating their awareness and ability for self-care. We believe that the publication of "Sports and Health" will bring new vitality to the sports lives of finance majors, encouraging more beneficiaries to actively participate in school sports and health education activities, and together pursue a healthy and wonderful life!
