The National Standards for Students' Physical Health is an educational means to promote students' physical health development and encourage students to actively carry out physical exercise. The selected indicators can reflect the basic conditions closely related to health, such as body composition, cardiovascular system function, muscle strength and endurance, joint and muscle flexibility. The implementation of the National Standard for Students' Physical Health will make students and society have a clearer understanding of the main factors affecting their physical health, and guide people to actively pursue physical health and achieve the goal of school physical education.
The "Measures for the Implementation of National Students' Physical Health Standards" also stipulates that students who have reached the qualified level or above will be awarded badges to stimulate their inner enthusiasm for physical exercise. The purpose of implementing the National Physical Exercise Standard is to encourage and promote people, especially teenagers and children, to actively participate in physical exercise, enhance their physical fitness, improve their sports skills, cultivate socialist moral quality, and better serve the socialist modernization and defend the motherland.
The National Physical Training Standard is aimed at all the people and divided into four groups, namely, children's group, aged 9~ 12, equivalent to grade 3~6 of primary school; Group b, 13~ 15 years old, equivalent to junior high school; Juvenile group a, 16~ 18 years old, equivalent to high school; Adult group, 19 years old or older, equivalent to university. Its test content is mainly to test physical fitness items, which are divided into five categories. Compared with the labor security system, shooting, throwing grenades at a distance, marching and listening to general national defense knowledge are deleted. The selected items emphasize the good effect of strengthening physical fitness, which can not only promote the all-round development of the body, but also test and record the results easily, and lay the foundation for improving the level of sports technology with due consideration. Mainly by the sports administrative department, the specific implementation will be carried out in conjunction with education and other relevant departments. At the same time, it is emphasized that the school should closely combine the implementation of physical exercise standards with physical education class and extracurricular sports activities and bring them into the school work plan. Its implementation has played an important role in promoting the whole society to attach importance to school physical education, urging students to actively participate in physical exercise, ensuring normal physical development and enhancing physical fitness.
