Features: Undergraduate education is the foundation of university education, and the bachelor's thesis is a concentrated reflection of the achievements gained from this education. The annual defense and selection of outstanding bachelor's theses are a routine practice of the Academic Affairs Office at Beijing Sport University. We strongly feel that guiding students specifically is necessary to improve the quality of bachelor's theses. Methods to enhance the quality of undergraduate theses include guiding students to consult the latest references from authoritative domestic and international journals, referring to graduate theses, participating in various academic conferences both inside and outside the university, and discussing the overall design and operational plans of the thesis with their supervisors. All of these are ways to improve the quality of undergraduate theses. However, if undergraduate students are provided with an outstanding thesis written by their senior classmates as a guide, it would make them feel more relatable and practical. Therefore, we came up with the idea of publishing a selected and critically reviewed collection of outstanding bachelor's theses from Beijing Sport University. This book includes 16 theses that won first and second prizes in the outstanding bachelor's thesis selection at Beijing Sport University from 2000 to 2004. Each thesis is followed by comments from the thesis supervisor. We will systematically publish such books in the future. Although these theses still appear somewhat immature and leave room for improvement, we believe that as the crystallization of the development of undergraduate education at Beijing Sport University, as a record of students' scientific start under the guidance of their supervisors, and as a memory of yesterday and a dream for tomorrow, their academic and historical value will gradually become apparent in the growth process of Beijing Sport University.
