Based on these working conditions, the authors discussed such issues as how to deal with the individual needs, individual capacities and work performances of physical education teachers, and put forward the following opinions: stimulating the work motive of physical educa-tion teachers by meeting their individual needs and optimizing their working environments is the most fundamental and effective way to enhance their work performances.
