The article focuses on combining sport education with fitness education in physical education and training. Recent findings suggest that a modified physical education curriculum will result in improved students' physical fitness. Unlike traditional sport education, lessons in the sport education-fitness education model will have a dual role. That is, the students will not only develop skills and strategies in a team sport, they will have the opportunity to enhance fitness and thus gain an awareness and experience of life-time fitness.
