Liu Ming-chuan, the head of physical education at Kangning Elementary school, notes that many parents refuse to allow their children to join school teams, giving such reasons as "they would get all sweaty and dirty" or "after sports they wouldn't have any energy left for their school work."
康寧國小體育組長劉明釗指出，許多學生家長以「弄得一身汗臭、髒兮兮」、「運動後沒精神上課」為由，拒絕孩子參加學校體育校隊訓練。
