Abstract: The introduction of foreign educators' educational theory and physical education view helps to open up the ideas of physical education curriculum teaching reform in China. In view of the lack of research on Bobbit's physical education theory, this paper discusses the origin, value orientation, core content and contemporary implication of the physical education curriculum view of Bobbit - founder of modern curriculum theory - by using the methods of literature, text analysis and logical speculation. The results show that Bobbit's view of physical education originates from the influence of American social efficiency thought in the early 20th century, the inheritance and development of Spencer and Hall's thought and his personal field study. “Experience standard” is the starting point of Bobbit's view of physical education curriculum. The core content of Bobbit's view of physical education is: the exchange of human body energy flows in and out like a reservoir; the educational value of games lies in maintaining personality; reproducing the history of disease resistance is an effective way of health education. On this basis, combined with the current situation of physical education curriculum teaching in China, this paper discusses the practical implication of Bobbit's view of physical education: it provides a theoretical basis for effectively promoting the physical health of young students, and attention should be drawn to the exploration of the maintenance mechanism of “sports morality” in school physical education, and the innovation of the content and methods of physical health education.
