Via their study the authors concluded that ideas for modern women physical education in China include cultivating virtuous wives and good mothers, maintaining strong citizens for nation survival; keeping physically and mentally fit; pursuing equal physical education rights. Among the 4 ideas said, the first two ideas show the value of “country protection”, while the last two ideas show the value of “self pro-tection”. These two reciprocal values are contradictive and interactive with each other.
