Higher vocational physical education contains rich cultural connotations, such as competition, courage to challenge, facing setbacks and team consciousness, and plays a unique role in remolding modern people's healthy physique, cultivating team cooperation consciousness, communication ability, innovation ability, decision-making ability and fighting spirit.
On the basis of adhering to the guiding ideology of "health first" in school physical education, higher vocational physical education holds that higher vocational physical education should not only impart sports skills and cultivate lifelong physical awareness, but also take cultivating students' comprehensive professional ability and improving their professional adaptability as the fundamental task according to the overall training objectives and orientation of higher vocational education, so as to realize the reform idea of setting up curriculum system based on the requirements of professional post ability. It embodies the new orientation of physical education curriculum in higher vocational colleges, which is "strengthening physique, satisfying interest, improving literacy and serving majors".
