Chu Jung-le, head of the phys ed department at Huaisheng elementary school, says that today's children have height and bulk but are totally out of shape. "They start panting before they've run two strides, and their cardio-pulmonary capacities are pathetic. What's more, they can't do a single pull-up. They've got no muscular strength whatsoever!"
懷生國小體育組長朱容樂便認為，現在的孩子體位好，體能卻不好，「跑不到兩步就開始喘，心肺功能差得不得了；吊單槓一下也吊不上去，一點肌力都沒有！」
