Discipline and life can be regarded as the two main dimensions for the curriculum theory system. School physical education curriculum which characterized by physical activity and aimed at comprehensive education, should not only have the support of subject knowledge, but also should have the nourishing of life element. This paper summarized and analyzed the pendulum phenomenon in the development of basic education of our school physical education curriculum from the perspective of subject and life direction of two-dimensional. The results showed that from the historical view, there is a pendulum phenomenon in physical education in our country on the dimension of discipline and life, which can be proved by the fact that discipline value was ignored but life value was emphasized in physical education field during the period from 20 s to 40 s in 20 th century, and such condition was overturned during the period from 50 s to 90 s in 20 th century, and the new course reform in physical education field began to surpass discipline view and focus on life value in our country; the pendulum phenomenon appeared with two styles, which means the discipline value and life value are in an unbalanced condition in physical education field; the pendulum phenomenon reflects the rule of social culture development and it is reasonable for such phenomenon to appear in physical education development; discipline standard is the status confirmation of the physical education curriculum and life standard is for the return of curriculum value; pendulum phenomena shows that the discipline standard or life standard of the physical education curriculum idea has its rationality and limitations, only in opposition to unification, conflict to fusion, is the ideal of the development of school physical education curriculum.
