Students will also learn how to help themselves manage healthy diet and life through electronic platforms and science and technology, thereby improving the quality of life. The physical education subject will guide students to deeply understand that exercise is an important part of maintaining good health, and understand the relationship between daily exercise volume and energy consumption, so as to more specifically control their physical condition and prepare for the future in the best condition."
