体育院校或普通院校体育院系的专业设置与课程设置，集中反应了时代和社会对所培养的专业人才在知识结构和适应能力方面的基本要求。所以，世界先进国家都比较重视专业和课程设置的研究。由于各国在政治、经济、文化背景等方面存在不同，在教育制度上也表现出种种差异，在体育专业的课程设置上各不相同。通过了解和比较日本高校在体育专业设置方面的成功经验，为我国体育专业与课程设置提供理论和方法的借鉴。本研究主要采用文献资料法、逻辑分析法等对日本十所体育院校和开设有体育专业的普通院校进行调查了解，分别对它们的专业设置情况、专业课程开设情况进行了分析，重点探讨、研究了日本高校体育专业课程开设的门类及每学年的课程安排等内容。无论从专业设置、课程开设的情况、目标的培养等方面，都对我国带来了诸多重要启示。研究结果表明：日本高校开设的体育专业与我国存在较大差异。从专业设置和课程安排情况来看，日本高校比较注重学生的职业化教育，所开设的课程与社会需求息息相关，同时也比较注重学生的专业实习与演练。从日本高校体育专业培养的目标也可明显看出，日本体育专业除了培养教师、教练员以外，还专门培养警署人员、公务员、一般企业职员等。这也是我们国家体育专业培养目标中所不具有的。除此之外，在专业实习的时间安排上明显不同的是，我国的体育专业实习一般是安排在第四学年第一学期，或者安排在第三学年的第二学期，而日本高校从第二学年开始就陆续安排体育专业实习。
