National fitness campaign
The purpose of national fitness is to improve the national physique and health level in an all-round way, focusing on teenagers and children, and advocating that the whole people participate in more than one physical fitness activity every day, learn more than two fitness methods, and conduct a physical fitness test once a year.
In order to inherit and carry forward the precious legacy of the Beijing Olympic Games and further consolidate the development foundation of China's sports, the State Council has approved August 8th every year as "National Fitness Day" since 2009.
The establishment of "National Fitness Day" fully reflects the great attention and cordial concern of the party and the government for the national fitness cause and the improvement of the health quality of the whole nation, and is another milestone in the development of the national fitness cause.
