ABSTRACT

Richard Shusterman's body aesthetics emphasizes the body as the starting point, and the core connotation is mainly the cultivation of body consciousness, that coincides with the essential starting point of physical education. However, the "loss" of body aesthetics has become a widespread phenomenon in the current physical education. To explore the causes and results of the "loss" of body aesthetics is attributed to the weakening of the attention of "body" caused by "championship doctrine". Therefore, the concept, objectives and methods of Physical Education are improper. The development of physical education must pay attention to the value of "body", so that body aesthetics can be "returned" to physical education. In this regard, physical education should locate "body" as a new starting point, change the current concept of physical education, physical education objectives and physical education methods, break the existing difficulties such as Championship doctrine, and realize the sound development of physical education.
