Chosen Government General appointed Physical Education Bureaucrat to the Academic Affairs Bureau[學務局] twice in December 1938 and April 1941. The Physical Education Bureaucrat first appointed was a person who studied gymnastics. He conducted a investigations to establish the ‘standard type[標準型]’ of body and physical strength of Korean students. Chosen Government General added a physical fitness test to the secondary school entrance exam based on the ‘standard type’ calculated as a result of the investigations. Through this, Chosen Government General tried to promote physical activities of the students. Chosen Government General expected to improve the physical strength of the students through strengthening exercises, but failed. Thus, in April 1941, Chosen Government General selected a person who majored in medicine and studied physiology as a new Physical Education Bureaucrat. In addition, with the help of Physical Education Bureaucrat, Chosen Government General investigated the school’s meal conditions and hygiene and sports facilities. In April 1942, Chosen Government General founded the Chosen School Sports Promotion Association headed by the undersecretary of Academic Affairs Bureau[學務局長]. This association was organized into the ‘University & Colleges Sports Promotion Branch[大學專門學校體育振興會]’ and the School Sports Promotion Branches of each province[道]. University & Colleges Sports Promotion Branch realized the school sports guidance policy prepared by Chosen Government General through holding various events. School Sports Promotion Branches organized in each province promoted sports programs not only for students from local schools but also for the entire local people. The policy planning & research, policy realization conducted by Physical Education Bureaucrats & Chosen School Sports Promotion Association contributed to the colonial education system to mobilize Korean students in the Japanese invasion war.
