Theory and Training Practice of Occupational Physical Fitness
The development of occupational physical fitness is the academic mission and essential content of physical education and health courses in vocational colleges.Over the years,the field of occupational physical fitness has achieved some theoretical and practical results.However,there is a lack of consensus regarding the concept definition,connotation,relationship between vocational physical fitness and general physical fitness,relationship between vocational physical fitness and vocational sports skills,occupational classification for cultivating vocational physical fitness,and strategies and methods for vocational physical fitness cultivation.Based on an analysis of literature review and classification theory research,this paper proposes the concept of"occupational physical fitness referring to the special physical and mental qualities required by practitioners in their habitual work in a certain profession."The paper argues that occupational physical fitness is not clearly present in professions similar to daily life but is clearly visible in specialized work with significant differences from daily life.Essentially,occupational physical fitness is a specific manifestation of general physical fitness,emphasizing their homogeneity excessively would render the concept of occupational physical fitness meaningless,while emphasizing their differences excessively would lead to confusion in conceptual connotations.The further away from daily life a profession is,the more specific its occupational physical fitness becomes,showing a"one-to-one correspondence";whereas professions closer to daily life lack specificity in their occupational physical fitness,showing a"class-to-class correspondence".In reality,there should be professional sports skills based on professional sports abilities;while there is an inherent connection between professional sports abilities and occupational physical fitness,they are not equivalent.Based on the research on occupational physical fitness,we will discuss the existing problems in current occupational physical fitness training and propose improvement suggestions.
