Sport creates beauty, and fortitude can make a difference

—— Speech at the "Raising of the National Flag" ceremony

Li Yi, member of the Party Committee and vice president

(October 18, 2021)

Dear students,

Good morning, everyone!

I am Li Yi, the vice president of the school in charge of sports and arts, and the theme of today's speech under the national flag is "Sports create beauty, and fortitude can make progress".

If the youth is strong, then the country is strong. In the view of Mao Zedong, a great man of a generation, sports can strengthen bones, increase knowledge, adjust emotions, and grind will, and young people must "civilize their spirit and savage their physique" in order to be resolute and promising. Chinese philosophers also revealed the simple proposition that "flowing water is not corrupt, and the household center is not incorruptible" as early as a thousand years ago. Indeed, sport is the source of all life, and for each of us, sports are indispensable in life.

Physical activity can enhance physical fitness. Regular physical exercise, human metabolism is vigorous, not only can enhance bone and respiratory function, but also can increase the number of capillaries in the muscles, increase blood flow, make the blood supply in the body good, protein and other nutrients absorption and storage capacity enhanced, muscle fiber thickening, muscle volume increase, muscle structure changes will make the activity of enzymes enhanced, and then improve neuromodulation, improve body function and immunity. As of now, the number of confirmed covid-19 cases worldwide is approaching 240 million, and the cumulative number of deaths has exceeded 4.87 million. The relatively large proportion of these lives lost due to covid-19 are the elderly, children and those with weaker physical fitness, who all have a common feature, that is, low physical immunity and poor resistance.

Sport can improve learning efficiency. People who often carry out physical exercise, the excitability, flexibility and durability of the cerebral cortex nerve cells will be improved, flexibility is improved, the response is faster, from the perspective of human activity, it shows cleverness and agility, it naturally reflects the sensitivity and flexibility of the brain body, so that learning and work are in the best state, and can persist for a long time. Liu Zhongfu, who was admitted to Peking University in 2021, has the habit of running every day, and in his opinion, "if you can run into 1,000 meters for three minutes, you will feel very happy."

Sport can promote all-round development. On the sports field, students can learn how to take turns, how to wait, how to cooperate, how not to bow their heads when they lose a game, how to say congratulations to the victorious opponent, not to give all the glory to themselves, and so on. All of this can not only cultivate everyone's sense of teamwork and collective honor, but also enhance everyone's leadership ability and organizational ability, sharpen everyone's anti-setback ability and will quality, and promote the all-round development of students while being happy physically and mentally and enhancing self-confidence.

Dear students. If the body is strong, the youth is strong. Our school is "the first batch of school sports demonstration schools in The country" and "Hunan Province Traditional Sports Project School", with good sports facilities guarantee and the fine tradition of attaching importance to sports. Scientists have done such an experiment: fix a buzzer on a peach tree, starting from the blossoming of the peach tree, the buzzer vibrates for 30 minutes every day, and when the peach is ripe, the peaches received from this peach tree are twice as large as the peaches from the carefully fertilized and cared for peach trees! In order to exercise a strong physique and lay the foundation for the future development, we must ensure 1 hour of physical activity time every day, in addition to regular physical education classes, large recesses, sports meetings and other activities, sitting posture, fast walking, running and walking, recess activities, doing broadcast gymnastics, ball sports, doing push-ups, pull-ups, etc. can be our good choice in the tense learning.

Here, I would also like to remind you of some of the basic principles of sports:

First, adhere to the principle of scientific nature. In the process of exercise, students should arrange the method, content and exercise load of exercise according to their personal characteristics to make up for the shortcomings. In addition, there are the following precautions: before strenuous exercise to remember to warm up, warm-up is not in place, it is easy to cause muscle strains, joint sprains, abdominal pain and other symptoms; before exercise to drink water in advance, adhere to "a small number of times", usually neither drink a large amount of water at once, nor wait until thirsty to drink water; after exercise to rest for a while before taking a shower, after exercise, the human body's pores are in a state of expansion, if you take a bath immediately, it will make the pores shrink sharply, it is easy to cause fever, cold and other diseases; and then, Exercise should pay attention to time, before going to bed is not suitable for strenuous exercise, when I was on duty, I found that individual students played basketball in the playground after the next night self-study and lunch break, which is not scientific, but also violates the school's management system, and some students do not eat breakfast to carry out strenuous exercise, which is not advisable.

The second is to adhere to the principle of gradualness. To advance is to advance, to develop, to improve, not to stay at one level, to change gradually, sequentially, and sequentially, not suddenly or sharply. The principle of gradualness is a rule established for the process of applying various sports means to exercise according to the law of physical enhancement. In the process of scientific exercise, the most essential thing is the problem of exercise load. A certain amount of exercise load, after repeatedly acting on the body a certain number of times and time, can cause the body to adapt, and then gradually increase the exercise load, so that the body produces a new level of adaptation, and finally achieve the goal of enhancing physical fitness.

The third is to adhere to the principle of comprehensiveness. The human body is a whole, and in order to enhance the physique, it is necessary to exercise and develop all parts of the human body. Specifically, it is necessary to develop all parts of the body (such as head and neck, trunk, limbs), various organ systems (such as cardiovascular, lung, nerve, gastrointestinal, etc.), various physical qualities and various basic activity capabilities of the human body. Students are in a period of rapid development, and they need to pay more attention to the comprehensive exercise of the body, and must not participate in only one kind of physical activity based on interest.

Dear students. Life lies in movement, and the beauty of life also needs movement to create. The primary task of education put forward by the party and the state is "to cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intellectuality, physical fitness, beauty, and labor," and sports are prominently listed; this year, the Ministry of Education has particularly emphasized the "five managements", and "physical management" is also among them. I hope that every student can exercise a strong body, create a strong heart, a strong physique, increase knowledge, tree ideals, strong will, be resolute and promising, masculine and refreshing, constantly create the beauty of life, undertake the great task of national rejuvenation, and live up to the historical mission!

Bless the students!
