School physical education teaching method related textbooks used in the United States focus mainly on the processes of physical education teaching, specially emphasizing the understanding of learning processes and teaching objects as well as the management of classrooms. Via their study the authors concluded that the differences in the contents of school physical education teaching method related textbooks used in the two countries should come from the discrepancies in the general physical education guidelines established in China and the United States and the differences in the setup of school physical education teaching method related courses in the two countries.
