Abstract

Physical health of Chinese children is not optimistic. Specifically, physical fitness of children and adolescents has been declining for decades, overweight and obesity are rapidly increasing and at a younger age. The rate of myopia among students in elementary school, middle school and high school remains high. And the poor social adaptability has become increasingly prominent. The government attaches great importance to children and adolescents' physical health and has launched a series of policy guidance documents. Promoting the physical activity and physical fitness in early childhood is an essential basis for establishing a healthy lifestyle throughout the entire life, urgently requiring us to pay attention to and attach importance to professional guidance. Based on recent years' new progress in related fields, this paper introduces the connotation and elements of early childhood physical activity and physical fitness, as well as its comprehensive impact on child development, the existing guidelines for physical activity and its monitoring progress. Besides, this paper proposes the implementation and strategy recommendations for government, medical institutes, childcare facilities and families, with a view to raising the awareness of primary child health care professionals on children's physical activity promotion and fitness health in early childhood, as well as strengthening guidance on it.
