Blended learning is a teaching style characterized by combining the advantages of online teaching with traditional teaching to improve the efficiency and quality of learning. At present, blended learning has achieved good results in most subjects, but little research is exploring its application in middle school physical education. This study investigated the application of blended learning in junior high school students' fancy rope-jumping learning. Method: Ninety students were assigned from a junior high school in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, including the experimental group of 42 students (boys=22, girls=20) who used blended learning, and the control group of 48 students (boys=23, girls=25) who received traditional learning. All participants took part in a 40-minute lesson twice weekly for 12 weeks. Both groups of students were tested on physical fitness and fancy rope-jumping skills before and after the intervention, and the outcomes were recorded. A t-test was used to analyze the results of the two groups of students before and after the intervention. After 12 weeks of intervention, there were significant improvements in physical fitness and fancy rope-jumping skills in both groups(p 0.05)n the fancy rope-jumping skills, there were differences between the two groups in the 1-minute Single Shake Jump, 30-second Double Shake Jump, and 1-minute Interval Cross Jump(p 0.05). Compared with the pre-test, the experimental group students in Lung Capacity, Standing Long Jump, and Sitting Forward Bend had significantly different results than before ( 0.05). The control group showed significant differences in the results of the four indexes of Lung Capacity, Standing Long Jump, Sitting Forward Bend, and Sit-ups/Pull-ups (< 0.001), there was no difference in the 50 Meters Running=0.766), and 800/1000 Meters Running test (0.114). However, two groups showed significant differences in fancy rope-jumping skills (< 0.001). This research shows that blended learning can effectively improve junior high school students’ mastery of fancy rope-jumping skills compared with traditional learning, with the benefits of improved physical fitness for students.
