The index with the highest degree of correlation between female students and teaching assessment was the index related to the physical core competence exercise, while the indexes with the highest degree of correlation between male students and teaching assessment were the indexes related to the maintenance of strong and healthy body shape and physical core competence. Thus, in the physical education course setting of higher vocational colleges and in the process of the integrated development between their teaching and students’ physical health, their teaching mode should aim at students’ exercise needs and promoting the quality improvement of their physical education teaching.展开更多
