Abstract


Extracurricular sports activities are voluntary athletic pursuits arranged outside of regular class hours, tailored to the interests, gender, age, and health of students and university students. Extracurricular sports activities constitute a vital element of school athletics and serve as a key avenue for fulfilling the aims and objectives of school sports. The objective of this study is to establish a model of extracurricular activities organization for students residing in the Can Tho University dormitory, Vietnam. The research employed established scientific methodologies, including document synthesis and analysis, interviews, and statistical computations, to fulfill the research objectives. The research participants consisted of 27 administrators and lecturers, along with 392 students residing in the Can Tho University dormitory. The research findings have identified the following modalities of extracurricular physical education and sports organization for students residing in the Can Tho University dormitory: individual training, team training, and sports club training among students. The results demonstrate that the newly implemented form of extracurricular sports training is effective; however, the difference is not statistically significant (sig > 0.05). Additionally, the number of students engaging in extracurricular sports training increased more than prior to the experiment (sig < 0.05).
