Features: The Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Deepening Education Reform and Comprehensively Promoting Quality Education states: "A sound physique is the fundamental prerequisite for young people to serve the motherland and the people, and it reflects the vigorous vitality of the Chinese nation." In recent years, secondary and higher vocational education has experienced rapid development. This textbook was compiled by core teaching staff from relevant schools based on practical experience in sports teaching reform under this new context.
1. This textbook first establishes "health " as the set goal of school physical education and vigorously promotes the slogan: "Exercise for one hour every day, stay healthy for 50 years, and enjoy a happy life for a lifetime."
2. Based on practical considerations, this textbook implements reforms in school physical education curricula, striving to achieve a student-centered approach with "autonomous choice of teachers, projects, and class times," creating a lively, dynamic, and proactive teaching atmosphere, and gradually improving the evaluation system for physical education in vocational education.
3. The textbook systematically organizes basic sports knowledge and health and wellness education, integrating the development of students' various athletic abilities, methods for physical training, leisure sports, and other content. It revolves around the theme of "Sports and Health," helping students develop awareness of self-exercise and enhancing health, viewing "Sports and Health" education as an important part of their lifelong learning and living. This plays a significant role in strengthening students' moral cultivation, fostering well-rounded personalities, developing individuality, cultivating innovative awareness, and forming lifelong exercise habits.
4. This textbook serves not only as the textbook for students' "Sports and Health" courses but also as an extracurricular physical exercise manual. It contains rich basic sports knowledge, including rules for judging in sports events, methods for physical training, health and wellness knowledge, and self-examination techniques for the body. It is highly instructive and can be described as a lifelong benefit in one volume.
5. The "Developing Athletic Abilities" section of this textbook is designed on a lesson-by-lesson basis. Teachers can create semester teaching plans by matching the textbook content and lesson requirements according to the semester's teaching schedule. At the same time, we have also created numerous illustrations of sports movements to enhance visual learning, making the content vivid, easy to understand, and suitable for students to read and practice independently, thereby improving their ability to exercise.
