Chongqing, 10 Sep (Xinhua) -- As more and more students return to the lush campus with suitcases, Southwest University in the mountain city of Chongqing has once again regained its former vibrancy. This academician Yuan Longping's alma mater has welcomed a group of young athletes and students.
Southwest University is known for its agronomy and humanities, and has biology, a world-class construction discipline, and three national key disciplines, and has remarkable achievements in academic research. It is surprising that such an academic school also has a high-level sports academy and has bred many Olympic athletes, and 4 winning athletes from this Tokyo Olympic Games have come from this university.
In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics weightlifting men's 67 kg competition, Southwest University master's student Chen Lijun staged a "stunning reversal" to win the gold medal, Liao Qiuyun and Zhao Shuai won one silver and one bronze respectively; doctoral student Shi Tingmao won the women's 3m board single and double gold medals for two consecutive Olympic Games, crowned the "four golden kings", becoming the Chongqing athlete who won the most Olympic gold medals.

"I'm not at all surprised that students have achieved such results at the Olympics." Guo Liya, secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Physical Education of Southwest University, said, "At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, our school also had 5 students selected and won 3 gold medals. ”
In Guo Liya's view, after Rio, the school can once again contribute to a number of Olympic champions, in addition to the excellent strength and strong will quality of these athletes, mainly due to the talent cultivation method of Southwest University in recent years with high-tech empowerment of "sports and education integration".
"Although several students, including Zhao Shuai, were admitted to Southwest University through sports training and single-stroke examinations, some of them did not reach the current level when recruiting." Guo Liya said that the coaches and professional teachers of Southwest University have discovered their potential, and have comprehensively and scientifically guided their growth in the basic theory of physical education, big data analysis, psychological training, strategy and tactics in recent years.

The School of Physical Education of Southwest University, formerly known as the Physical Education Department of the National Women's Normal College during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, began its research on sports as early as the beginning of its establishment in 1940, and has a history of 81 years today, which can be called the elder of the domestic sports discipline. However, the rapid progress of physical education in recent years is not entirely due to historical inheritance. With the development of science and technology, Southwest University has explored a path of sports talent development with high and new technology as the main auxiliary tool, from the recognition of professional theory, to the grasp of the sports rules of the sports project, to the special theoretical learning of psychology and physical fitness, related learning and training run through the daily life of athletes.
At present, the School of Physical Education of Southwest University has two undergraduate majors - physical education teaching and sports training majors, both of which are national first-class majors, with doctoral and master's programs in the first-level discipline of physical education. Among them, the sports training major recruits hundreds of students every year, and selects and trains outstanding young athletes from them. In terms of teaching staff, the School of Physical Education of Southwest University also has more than 10 international referees, such as Zhao Shuai's mentor Li Bing and Chen Lijun's mentor Li Jingwen, who are international referees in related fields.
"Sports is not only to convince people with strength, but also to convince people with wisdom." Guo Liya said that at present, Southwest University has a large number of sports laboratories and research institutes completed and operated, including sports rehabilitation and sports psychology and other aspects. The Sports Public Service Research Center of Southwest University takes the construction of the big data sports public service mobile platform as the carrier to conduct big data intelligent analysis of relevant competition projects, use virtual simulation technology to conduct experimental research on related sports projects, and scientifically guide the training and competition of all athletes.
"Diving is an extremely precise movement, and the core strength of the muscles is the most critical factor. Athletes can learn from each other countless times in the process of training, observing the game, and studying relevant research data, analyzing and summarizing how to control and use the core strength of the muscles, so that their training effect can be doubled with half the effort. Shi Tingmao's master's thesis was on the study of the core strengths of divers. Guo Liya said.
Athletes must have extremely strong psychological qualities to win the championship, and the Sports Psychology and Education Research Center of the School of Physical Education of Southwest University helps athletes establish excellent psychological qualities. "Taking Chen Lijun as an example, he reversed the other side in the case of failed grasping and lifting, relying on the psychological quality and special ability that has been improved in recent years." Guo Liya said that Li Jingwen asked each athlete to spend 3 minutes a day summarizing his training and learning, and at first Chen Lijun did not want to speak, but he stepped out of the shadows in the process of "passive" summarization and communication, and slowly established confidence in victory in training.
"Shi Tingmao, Zhao Shuai and others were just ordinary athletes when they were first admitted to Western University, and the excellent results came from their persistence and efforts over the years. We teachers also hope that in the future, we can continue to rely on this model of 'sports-education integration' to cultivate more outstanding sports talents for the country." Guo Liya said.
