The research employs methods such as literature review, interviews, and statistical analysis to address the study objectives. The research subjects include 193 male students, 147 female students in secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh city and 30 experts in the field of physical education, including lecturers teaching Athletics, teachers teaching Physical Education, and coaches participating in training gifted Athletics at sports centers. Research results show that identifying 4 criteria for assessing physical fitness and 3 criteria for assessing motor skills serve as a basis for determining the current situation for grade 6 students in secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh City. The research results are the basis for proposing and selecting a number of motor activities to help develop physical fitness and motor skills for students.
