Background To explore the effects of three modes of prescription health education teaching and health education combined with physical fitness exercise teaching, as well as conventional physical fitness exercise teaching on the quality of life of college students. Method We employed a quasi-experimental design with 246 participants randomized into three groups: didactic health education plus fitness training, conventional fitness training, and a no-intervention control. Pre- and post-intervention assessments used the Functional Movement Screen and a validated quality of life scale. The experimental data were analyzed by questionnaire survey method, experimental comparison method, and using multifactor ANOVA and paired samples t -test. Result (1) By multifactor ANOVA, there was no significant difference in the total FMS score and total quality of life score (including four factors) of the three teaching modes before the experiment ( p > 0.05), there was a significant difference in the total FMS score after the intervention ( p 0.05); by post hoc comparisons, the teaching mode of prescribing physical fitness education FMS total score and quality of life total score were higher than the other two teaching modes, and the conventional physical fitness teaching mode had the lowest score. (2) By paired-sample t -test, the total FMS score and total quality of life score of the prescription health education teaching mode were also significantly improved ( p 0.05). Conclusion These results demonstrate that integrating didactic health education with targeted exercise prescriptions yields substantially greater quality of life enhancements than traditional fitness training alone, supporting broader adoption of structured health education interventions in Chinese higher-education settings
