The results show that： the physical development of children reach school age Hunan Province Han good, but the boys of height, weight and chest are still differences between urban and rural areas; respiratory function developmental level decreased to varying degrees, both urban and rural areas need strengthening exercise to improve respiratory function. Speed, endurance, power and strength endurance, strength, quality has a different rate of increase quality trends, and most has no specific differences between urban and rural areas; Felicity decline, but rural girls group performance has increased, shortening the urban and rural areas gap. Due to substantial improvements in the living conditions of rural, urban and rural differences have been gradually reduced, but from learning, family, social pressure, and the lack of good exercise habits, sports teachers and other reasons that students can not ensure adequate exercise time, which affects the Han physical level students in Hunan province, hoping to enter primary school-age children start, the implementation of the ＂National Student Physical Health Standard＂ and strive to ensure that physical education and physical exercise, strengthening and improving school sports to promote quality education, comprehensively enhance physical fitness of students in Hunan province.展开更多
