While physical culture had been regarded as same concept as physical education before, the concept of physical culture and its position in accordance with the development of physical education and sports have been pursued. In this study, upon reviewing literature on physical culture in the present day Soviet Union, three philosophical schools behind have been hypothetically pointed out. Problems interrelated each other among these schools have further discussed.
