Practical Exploration of Integrating Competitive and Recreational Elements in College Physical Education

Abstract

College physical education plays a crucial role in the holistic development of students. This paper explores the practice of integrating competitive and recreational elements into college physical education. By analyzing the current status of college physical education, it presents practical experiences through case studies and summarizes the actual effects of teaching models and the challenges encountered. The study finds that integrating competitive and recreational elements can significantly enhance students’ learning interest, physical fitness, and teamwork skills. However, challenges remain in achieving a balanced integration, improving teacher training, and addressing resource constraints. The paper proposes strategies such as curriculum innovation, method optimization, and evaluation system improvement to provide practical guidance for reforming college physical education.
