In the context of globalization, it is valuable to examine the concepts and curriculum settings of physical education in China and the United States. These two countries, recognized as important sports powers in the field of education, offer insight into similarities and differences that can inform future research. By comparing their approaches, this study aims to provide valuable insights and suggestions. Through literature review and field research, this study found that there are certain differences in core values, teaching methods and evaluation systems, social impact and significance of physical education between China and the United States. Furthermore, there are variations in curriculum objectives, content, organization, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of physical education between China and the United States. This study concludes by offering relevant insights and suggestions for both countries, as well as acknowledging the limitations of the research and suggesting potential directions for future studies.
