(College of Physical Education,Shanghai Normal University,Shanghai 200234,China) Abstract: Phenomena such as the dissimilation of the Olympic movement as a result of it being adulterated with economic and political interests, as well as health jeopardy due to non-scientific training for competitive sports, are the causes for the deviation of people’s correct apprehension of the Olympic movement. Such Olympic spiritual es-sences as “taking measures aiming at preventing athlete’s health from being jeopardized” and “friendship, solidarity and fairness” specified in the Olympic Charter have clearly stated that the Olympic movement is a cultural under-taking of mankind to promote physical health. Key words: Olympic movement;concept of physical health;Olympic spirit
