ABSTRACT: We
examined the relationship between health status and satisfaction with physical
education (PE) lessons. The participants (N = 142, Mean = 19.14 yrs, SD = 0.92)
were university students in China. The participants completed questionnaires at
the beginning and end of the PE class term to indicate their health status. Multiple
linear regression analyses revealed that the changes in health status
significantly correlated with satisfaction with PE lessons. Results of the
multiple regression analyses indicated that satisfaction with PE lessons was
significantly related to enjoyment. The practical implications of this study
focused on developing a PE lesson program that would improve the health status
of students well as be enjoyable to the students.
