1/3 of the students lost more than 5% of their weight, half of the students reduced their waist circumference by more than 5 cm, and most of them developed good habits of exercise and healthy eating...... The "fat loss course" offered by Peking University has been sought after by many students, and has recently been on the hot search of major platforms. Students not only learn professional athletic skills, but also earn credits. Netizens have said that this is "someone else's university" and praised the course for "'working for the welfare' of students".
According to reports, the full name of the "fat loss course" offered by Peking University is "physical fitness improvement course", which not only teaches weight loss and fat loss methods, but also is equipped with the introduction of dietary nutrition, sports and fitness and other related knowledge, which is a comprehensive compulsory course, aiming to enable students to change unhealthy living habits and establish the concept of "active health".
In fact, the "fat loss course" offered by Peking University is not a special case. As early as 2016, Nanjing Agricultural University opened a "sports fat loss course" for overweight students. In 2018, Tianjin University launched the "Burn My Calories" training course, which includes aerobic and anaerobic training, reasonable diet, psychological counseling and other content, and students who meet the level of physical mass index (BMI) decline at the end of the training can receive credits. On the one hand, it may be that the halo effect of famous universities plays a role and is easy to attract social attention, and on the other hand, it also shows that the phenomenon of overweight has attracted more and more attention from the society.
Colleges and universities offering "fat loss courses" may have unexpected positive effects. With the improvement of living standards, some college students have overnutrition and a strong desire to lose weight and shape their bodies, but they often lose weight through dieting or Internet celebrity weight loss products, and they may go astray and cause harm to their bodies if they are not careful. Judging from this situation, colleges and universities have professional teachers and scientific curriculum, which can open scientific fitness courses for students who want to lose weight but have no way to do so, and guide students to control their weight safely, scientifically and effectively. At the same time, colleges and universities use physical education courses as the starting point to design interventions, which also helps to make students aware of the importance of health, change bad habits, and adjust their lifestyles through the form of credit incentives.
The enlightenment of the "fat loss course" in colleges and universities also lies in the fact that the scientific fitness course should be different from the teaching mode of other courses, breaking the "wall" of the classroom, and allowing professional teachers to step down from the podium, walk among the students, and walk to the stadium to carry out in the form of practical classes. Since the physical fitness and health of students are different, teachers should not only find common problems, but also pay attention to each individual and provide personalized guidance in a timely manner. This requires teachers to be meticulous and patient, have sufficient professional reserves, and put more effort into curriculum design and content creation.
As the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution. College is a critical stage for students to grow into adults, and a strong body is an important foundation for their future work and life. Colleges and universities start by helping students manage their weight and set up relevant courses to guide them to gradually form a healthy and self-disciplined lifestyle, which can not only help them solve their physical problems, but also eliminate their inner troubles, and its educational value is revealed.
At present, not only college students are paying attention to the problem of weight loss, but more and more people from all walks of life are also focusing on it. Colleges and universities have always had the ability to lead social trends, and it is expected that more and more colleges and universities will offer courses such as "fat loss courses" and share them with the society through videos, online open classes and other forms, so that scientific ways and means of weight loss can benefit more people.
