National fitness refers to the ability of all people, regardless of gender, age and age, to enhance the strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination and control of all parts of the body, so as to make the people strong.

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 commemorate the success of the Beijing Olympic Games, the State Council approved to designate August 8th of each year as "National Fitness Day" from 2009.

With festivals, how do people celebrate them? Liu Peng, director of the State Sports General Administration, said: "The best way is for everyone to take an active part in physical exercise in their own place. On this day, public sports facilities will be opened to the public at a discount or free of charge, and preferential fitness guidance services will be provided. This will better reflect the popularization and socialization of the Beijing Olympic legacy. "

At present, the implementation plan of "National Fitness Day" is being planned. According to Sheng Zhiguo, director of the Group Department of the State Sports General Administration, the selection of the theme of the event and the creation of the festival atmosphere should fully consider the extensiveness of mass participation and the timeliness of fitness, and explore the combination of the "National Fitness Week and Month" activities that have been carried out for more than ten years with the "National Fitness Day" activities.
