(4) Muscle Strength Table 7 shows that the performance in the “standing long jump” test for Taiwan’s male or female children and adolescents aged 10-18 is far worse than that for their counterparts in Japan and China. The muscle strength of Taiwan’s children and adolescents is inferior to that of their counterparts in the two neighboring countries.

An Analysis of Development Trends in Physical Fitness for Taiwan’s Children and Adolescents 259 (5) Cardiovascular Endurance Table 8 shows that the performance in the 1,600-meter run for boys and 800-meter run for girls aged 13-18 fell off in comparison with their counterparts in Japan and China. On average, Taiwan’s boys and girls are 100-120 seconds and 40-50 seconds slower, respectively. This indicates that the cardiovascular endurance for the Taiwan’s adolescents is far poorer. Table 8 Results of 1,600-Meter and 800-Meter Runs for Students in Taiwan, Japan and China Country Taiwan Japan China Taiwan Japan China Age Gender Male (sec.) Female (sec.) 13 591.9 418.3 479.2 295.7 231.4 273.2 14 568.2 398.3 455.0 298.8 234.6 270.8 15 551.2 405.6 437.4 300.4 248.0 265.8 16 521.5 394.8 426.1 287.8 243.8 264.4 17 519.2 394.5 424.3 289.4 245.3 264.0 18 517.8 435.0 417.8 291.9 251.1 261.3 Note: 1. Figures for Taiwan from 2005; 2.Figures for Japan from 2007, and the test results in male students is according to measured that runs 1500 m transform to 1600 m; the female students is according to measured that runs 1000 m transform to 800 m; 3. Figures for China from 2005, investigative target was urban children and adolescents, and the male students is according to measured that runs 1000 m transform to 1600 m. Source: Ministry of Education, Republic of China (2007c); Japan MEXT (2008); Ho Ling, Jen Hung (2007). It is concluded that the performance in physical fitness for Taiwan’s children and adolescents is worse in the categories of muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and the BMI than their counterparts in Japan, Hong Kong, and China, in spite of the fact that the performance in flexibility for the Taiwanese is acceptable. As poor physical fitness poses a great threat to the health of children and adolescents and research has proved the high correlation between obesity and major chronic diseases, there may arise a national health crisis in the future. 2. Strategies for Physical Fitness Development for Children and Adolescents Physical education in school paves the way for lifelong exercise. All major activities for the promotion of physical fitness are carried out in school. As physical fitness for schoolchildren and adolescents has been on a downward trend, the importance of PE in school has been constantly emphasized. The following are the strategies for the improvement of physical fitness adopted in Japan, the United States, and Taiwan. (1) Physical Fitness Development Strategy for Japanese Children and Adolescents The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has proclaimed “four visions” for the improvement of physical education. One of them is for the promotion of physical education teacher’s capability of guidance. In Japan, training PE teachers is strictly regulated by law. Trainees have to follow a set of standard curricula for professionalism (Lin Tao, Chang Mei-chiang, and Chao Li-pin, 2007), a practice that can help ensure the quality of teachers and
