Adolescent physical health is essential for national happiness and strength. Primary and secondary school physical education plays a vital role in their development. However, it faces challenges under the "double reduction" policy. This study, using field-capital-habitus analysis, explores the constraints and solutions for promoting adolescent physical health through physical education. Challenges include marginalization, insufficient resources, and a focus on exam scores. To address these, we propose improving sports facilities, enhancing skills, increasing resources, improving after-school sports, and shifting the focus from exams to comprehensive development. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 2022 also stressed the importance of sports development. Adolescents are crucial to this endeavour, but their physical health faces issues like obesity and myopia. This article emphasizes the need to enhance adolescent physical health and offers solutions at the family, school, and societal levels to promote their well-being.
