After interpreting the task structure of the Healthy China strategy, this article rationalizes the correlation between National Fitness Plan and the Healthy China strategy, and finds deficiencies of the National Fitness Plan in structure, function, system, and mechanics when meeting the needs of Healthy China strategy.
