This study investigates the groundbreaking application of blockchain technology in the realm of student physical fitness testing within colleges and universities. The focus is on constructing a secure, transparent, and traceable data management system to enhance the accuracy and reliability of physical fitness assessments. Using literature review to establish a theoretical basis, logical analysis to clarify technical principles, and cross-disciplinary methods to integrate various perspectives, the study provides an in-depth analysis of how blockchain can be seamlessly incorporated into the student physical fitness testing framework. Physical fitness testing in colleges typically includes evaluations of various health metrics such as aerobic capacity, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. Traditional methods for recording and managing these tests often face challenges related to data accuracy, tampering, and privacy. Blockchain technology, with its immutable and decentralized nature, offers a solution by ensuring that fitness test results are securely recorded and cannot be altered once entered into the system. The proposed blockchain-based system incorporates several key components tailored to the needs of student physical fitness assessments. The system includes an authentication module to verify basic student information and a management module to handle test scores and related health data. By employing advanced encryption methods and blockchain platforms like Bei-hang Chain, the system provides robust data protection, ensuring both the privacy of individual student records and the integrity of the test data. One of the system’s innovations is its ability to offer real-time access and verification of fitness data for all relevant stakeholders-students, educational institutions, parents, and regulatory bodies. This transparency helps in monitoring students’ health trends and in making informed decisions about physical education programs and health interventions. Furthermore, the decentralized nature of the system reduces administrative overhead and mitigates risks associated with centralized data storage. The integration of blockchain technology addresses significant issues inherent in traditional physical fitness testing systems, such as data tampering, unauthorized access, and inaccuracies in test results. By ensuring that fitness data is accurate, unalterable, and accessible, the system provides a reliable basis for evaluating and improving student health and fitness. This advancement not only supports more accurate assessments of students’ physical fitness and health but also facilitates the development of evidence-based policies and programs aimed at enhancing student wellness. In summary, the blockchain-based physical fitness testing system represents a transformative approach to managing student health data. It not only provides strong support for accurately reflecting the physical fitness and health status of contemporary college students, but also provides a solid data basis for the government and relevant departments to make more scientific and reasonable health policies and decisions, and has far-reaching positive significance for improving the physical fitness level of college students.
