Abstract

Background and Aim: The development of national fitness in Guangdong Province is in a leading position in the country and has a certain typicality. Strengthening the research on the national fitness evaluation index system in Guangdong Province has an important reference for the construction of national and other provincial fitness evaluation index systems. The objectives of this research were: (1) to construct an evaluation index system for a national fitness model city in Guangdong Province; (2) to determine the weight of the evaluation index system; and (3) to formulate the development strategy of a national fitness model city.

Materials and Methods: The main research instrument of this research was expert questionnaires. Participants include experts in sports, health promotion, physical exercise, measurement, and evaluation, and the experts were selected by purposive sampling. This research was collecting relevant data and determined the first draft of indexes. Invite 5 experts to evaluate and check the draft evaluation indexes and determine the indexes. Use the Delphi method to build Evaluation Index System, check on the suitability and feasibility of the Evaluation Index System, and summarize and report the content of the Evaluation Index System. This research mainly used SPSS 22.0 for data analysis.

Results: The final developed evaluation index system for the fitness model city for Guangdong Province under the national fitness plan consisted of four first-level indicators, 14 second-level indicators, and 36 third-level indicators, and the authoritative experts were organized to conduct focus group interviews to evaluate the feasibility and applicability of the evaluation index system.

Conclusion: The results showed that the evaluation index system of fitness model cities for Guangdong Province under the national fitness plan is reasonable and feasible, which can effectively guide all cities in Guangdong Province to create fitness model cities and provide valuable references for all provinces in China.
