Abstract

Despite colleges have been paying attention to students’ physical education, the status of international students’ physical activity has not received enough attention. The physical activities participation of 238 overseas students in the central region of China was investigated by using the self designed “Questionnaire of the physical activities of overseas students in China”. Results: Overseas students are more likely to carry out moderate (69.23%) sports 6 or more times in two weeks, 30m-2.5h (82.57%) each time, and the sports population is 31.2%. Conclusion: The sports population of overseas students is equal to that of Chinese college students, but the intensity and duration of physical activities are higher than those of Chinese college students. Gender, region, sports attitude, playground, projects and motivation have an important effect on their sports participation. Based on these factors, colleges should improve students’ sports participation level and attach importance to spread Chinese traditional sports culture.
