Introduction
Physical attributes refer to the body's abilities while doing exercise .To some extent, these abilities can also be seen as the integrated representation of human body morphology and function level .Physical attributes evaluation of college students is paid more and more attention by the physical educators.Therefore, how to use the result to give a comprehensive evaluation for the students' physical attributes is an important research task that needs to be solved in the physical fitness field and receive much attention from the sports workers.Since 1997, for various reasons, Chongqing has not established the physical attributes evaluation system for the local college students, which is entirely disproportionate to the social economic development of Chongqing.For this reason, the paper did analysis with the sample of three colleges' 7206 students health monitoring data in 2009 in Chongqing, and established the physical attributes score sheets, evaluation form for the college students in Chongqing according to the widely used evaluation methods.The goal of this research is to allow students to learn the place of the level of his/her physical fitness in the same age group, and enhance the students' motivation to exercise.Meanwhile, it can provide reference for the education administrative departments' decisions and further improving the college physical teaching in our city.

Subjects
The study adopt cluster sampling method according to the requirements of "

Test Methods and Content
The study made physical attributes tests according to "2005 Inspection Detail Instruction of Physical Fitness and Health Investigation on National College Students".The tests included 50-meter race, standing long jump, 1000-meter race (boys), 800-meter race (girls), sit-and-reach, and throwing medicine ball.

Statistic Evaluation Method
The study employed the methods of percentiles to establish the single index and comprehensive evaluation criteria.The analysis was done with the help of SPSS.With the analysis of variance, physical attributes' indexes of all age groups of boys and girls showed no significant differences.So the data of age groups were merged according to the gender.

Grading of Single Physical Attributes' Index Evaluation Criterion
The grading of single physical attributes' index evaluation criterion using time as the measuring unit (standing long jump, sit-and-reach, throwing medicine ball ) (Table 1) was similar to those the time was not used as the measuring unit (50-meter race, 1000-meter race , 800-meter race), the two were different in the reverse rank order.

Establishment of Physical Attributes Comprehensive Evaluation Criterion
Physical attributes comprehensive evaluation was converting the results of the five physical attributes' indexes into the unified scores, and then graded the total points of the five physical attributes' indexes (Tables 6, 7).
1) The differences of percentiles 3 and 97 of boys' and girls' physical attributes were calculated respectively, then divided by 19 and obtained the value when every point added or decreased.
2) Dividing the evaluation criterion of single physical attributes' index into 20 score sections, the total score was 20.The result of percentiles 97 of physical attributes' index evaluation criterion not using time as the measuring unit was 20; there is a corresponding drop of one score when a section score decreased.The result of percentiles 3 of physical attributes' index evaluation criterion using time as the measuring unit was 20; there is a corresponding drop of one score when a section score increased.
3) Obtain the summation of the results of every student's physical attributes' indexes.
4) Calculating the percentiles 10, 25, 5, 90 of the total scores of boys' and girls' physical attributes' indexes and establish the comprehensive evaluation criterion.

Usage of Evaluation Method
1) Identifying the score sheets of single physical attributes' index and physical attributes evaluation form according to the gender, and find the corresponding scores and grade.
2) Comprehensive evaluation of physical attributes is calculating the total points of the single physical attributes' indexes, and then identifies the grade from the corresponding comprehensive evaluation form of physical attributes' index.

Conclusions
1) In this work, through the measurements of physical attributes' indexes of three colleges' 7206 Han students in 2009 in Chongqing, we established the physical attributes evaluation criterion for college students in Chongqing according to the method of percentile.
2) The physical attributes score sheets, evaluation form are applicable to the college students in Chongqing, and they can be popularized to other universities in Chongqing.sity (SWU1109071), the Humanities and Social Science Research Youth Foundation of the Ministry of Education in China (Grant No. 12YJC880005) and Chongqing Higher Education Reform Project (No. 120388).Here the authors would like to express heartfelt thanks.
