| Abstract | Great academic pressure has destroyed the ingredients of primary curriculum in Hong Kong. Pupils' attention has been diverted from enjoying childhood learning experiences through discovery and play to learning new knowledge through spoon-feeding and testing. The keen constraints among primary subjects in scheduling lead to the limited provision of Physical Education periods. The purposes of the paper are to investigate the factors influencing the development of physical fitness programs in Hong Kong and to recommend offering a Physical Fitness Unit with emphasis on health-related fitness components in the primary curriculum. The full details of the unit including aim and objectives, contents, methods, and assessment together with strategies on implementation are discussed in the paper. |
