SL is significant in the course of retaining and encouraging students＊ healthy, easy and reconstructed happy and contenting life, as well as reproducing, working and learning capabilities, and developing integrative personal character. 3. UPE is vital to the formation and readjustment of students＊ healthy happy way of life. To a great extent, students＊ option of SL in their well-being life mode depends on whether PE contents are advanced or conservative, and whether teaching methods are open and democratic or close and compellent. So it is necessary comprehensively to examine and transform UPE on the research basis of inherent connection among PE, SL, life mode and humans.
