(School of Physical Education，Guangxi Sports College，Nanning 530012，China) Abstract: With the help of historical documents, and through literature review, logical reasoning, induction and summary, the development process of students’ physical test in China is reviewed and analyzed. It is found that the physical fitness test of Chinese students originates from the physical test in old China and the study from the former Soviet Union's "labor and health system" in the early days of the founding of the new China. Under the effect of key nodes and important stages, its development presents the stage characteristics including "selecting the best in class to save the country, keeping exercise to protect the country, flourishing the country by physical education, and strengthening the country via a healthy and comprehensive way". It is closely related to the national development and the course of the students' physique test. In the future, in order to form the students’ physical test with Chinese characteristics, we should deepen the combination of medicine and sports and help the national construction, and improve the laws and regulations, as well as ensure own development ourselves.
