Abstract

PURPOSE

To compare the academic performance of undergraduate students in physical education who studied exercise physiology before and after studying human physiology and investigate students' perceptions of human physiology and exercise physiology courses.

METHODS

This study included 311 undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor's degree in physical education. Participants were divided into two groups: those who had previously attended and completed the human physiology course (group 1, n = 212, 68.2%) and those who had not previously attended or had attended but failed the human physiology course (group 2, n = 99, 31.8%). The prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated using a Poisson regression model with a robust variance estimator. The second aim comprised 67 students with bachelor's degrees in physical education who completed an electronic questionnaire about their perceptions of human physiology and exercise physiology curriculum.

RESULTS

Compared with those who attended human physiology and passed, those who had not previously attended or had attended but failed the human physiology course have a higher PR of 2.37 (95% CI, 1.68-3.34) for failing exercise physiology. Regarding the students' perceptions of human physiology and exercise physiology courses, most students reported that they were challenging (58.2% and 64.2%, respectively), but they also recognized the importance of these courses for professional practice (59.7% and 85.1%, respectively).

CONCLUSION

Human physiology should be considered a prerequisite for an undergraduate course leading to a bachelor's degree in physical education. Furthermore, students considered human physiology and exercise physiology courses important yet challenging. Therefore, continuous student assessment is vital for improving the teaching-learning process.

摘要

目的

比较学习运动生理学前后的体育教育专业本科生的学业成绩，并调查学生对人体生理学和运动生理学课程的看法。

方法

本研究纳入了 311 名攻读体育教育学士学位的本科生。参与者分为两组：一组是已经修完并通过人体生理学课程的学生（组 1，n=212，68.2%），另一组是没有修过或修过但未通过人体生理学课程的学生（组 2，n=99，31.8%）。使用泊松回归模型和稳健方差估计计算患病率比（PR）和 95%置信区间（95%CI）。第二个目的包括 67 名完成人体生理学和运动生理学课程认知电子问卷的体育教育专业本科生。

结果

与通过人体生理学且未挂科的学生相比，未修过或修过但未通过人体生理学课程的学生，运动生理学挂科的 PR 更高，为 2.37（95%CI，1.68-3.34）。关于学生对人体生理学和运动生理学课程的看法，大多数学生认为这些课程具有挑战性（分别为 58.2%和 64.2%），但他们也认识到这些课程对专业实践的重要性（分别为 59.7%和 85.1%）。
