Here's a really interesting video about physical education in China: [click]
I personally would prefer to have the same PE schedule. I've no idea why compulsory education in the UK only timetables 1-2 PE sessions a week, and most of the time is wasted by getting changed. I remembered at one point in secondary school, with this happening and that happening, no sooner did we set out the field, get out the equipment, stretch and decide the teams, and play for 1/2 an hour, we had to go back in and get ready for the next class.
In the UK, for children over 3 in nurseries, they are unlikely to encounter the problems mentioned in the video i.e. individual attention and disciplined-type PE. As current legislation (the Early Years Foundation Stage - of which my entire year is devolted to) requires a ratio of one practitioner to 13 children, and recommends that in a day, there should (currently) be 20% adult-led/initiated activities.
(I'll go off about the 20% another time.)
