Survey: Primary and middle school students rely on PE for exercise, lack stable habits

A survey report released by the King Car Cultural and Educational Foundation on the 27th shows that while over 90% of primary and middle school students have basic exercise habits, about 70% rely on PE classes, and 40% exercise less than twice a week. The survey was conducted in March with over 10,000 valid samples. Students cited "fun" as the primary reason for exercising, followed by physical fitness and stress relief. The survey also covered "Pickleball," a sport combining tennis, badminton, and table tennis. While 70% of students have not tried it, 30% expressed interest. Chou Hsiao-chin, president of the Pickleball Association of the ROC, noted that while the sport is suitable for all ages, a lack of instructors and facilities hinders its promotion. The foundation suggests that the focus of promotion should shift from "participation" to "sustainability."
