Abstract

Cultivating the comprehensive development of students, including both professional knowledge and personal character, has been a longstanding priority in Vietnamese higher education. In this context, physical education (PE) plays a vital role, serving as a means to prepare students' physical fitness and promote their overall health - an essential foundation for the future leaders of the nation. At Tan Trao University, the importance of developing students' physical fitness within PE instruction has been recognized and emphasized.  This study examines the strategies and outcomes of preparing the physical fitness of students in the teaching of physical education at Tan Trao University. Drawing on a rigorous review of the university's curricula, teaching practices, and student assessment data, the research delves into the multifaceted approaches employed to enhance students' physical conditioning, including targeted fitness assessments, personalized training programs, and the integration of innovative pedagogical methods.  The findings reveal a marked improvement in students' cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and overall wellness, contributing to their enhanced academic performance and well-rounded personal development. Furthermore, the study highlights the institutional commitment to fostering a campus culture that prioritizes physical activity and healthy lifestyles, serving as a model for other Vietnamese universities aspiring to produce well-rounded graduates.  The insights gained from this investigation provide valuable guidance for educators and policymakers in strengthening the delivery of physical education and optimizing the holistic development of students in higher education settings. The study's comprehensive approach and impactful outcomes underscore the crucial role of physical fitness preparation in shaping the next generation of leaders and active citizens.
