Abstract: By using the method of literature and visual analysis, this paper analyzes the core journals of China's physical education curriculum collected by CNKI from 2005 to 2019, and concludes that the focal issues of China's physical education curriculum research are: college physical education curriculum reform, teaching mode, physical education and health curriculum reform, core quality of physical education discipline, etc. The existing problems are the decrease of the amount of published papers, the lack of empirical research and the disconnection between theory and practice. In order to deepen the reform of physical education curriculum and promote the students' lifelong physical education, it is suggested to pay more attention to physical education curriculum, strengthen teacher training, improve the teachers' professional quality and improve the curriculum evaluation system.

Key words: physical education curriculum, school sports, teaching reform, focal issue
