5.3 Problems Existing in the Development of Sports at Present

5.3.1 Uneven Development of Mass Sports

In 2015, Liu Peng, director of the general administration of sport, said that there were four shortcomings in the implementation of the plan: the development of national fitness is still unbalanced. Between regions, between urban and rural areas and between populations; The public service system of national fitness needs to be improved. Public spending remains low; Social organizations of sports need to be developed and strengthened, and the mobilization of social forces to participate in national fitness is not enough.

The overall physical fitness level of all the population has increased, while adult males have decreased. The data shows that overweight and obesity have become a prominent problem affecting the quality of Chinese adults and the elderly. “2010 national student physical fitness and health survey results” shows that college students’ physical quality continues to decline slowly, the detection rate of poor vision continues to rise, and the trend of younger age, the detection rate of obesity continues to increase, the prevalence of dental caries rebound. According to a world health organization study, 600 million people in China are nearsighted, and the rate of myopia among teenagers is the highest in the world. According to the 2014 national fitness survey bulletin, “lack of time and space” are still the main reasons for urban and rural residents not to take part in physical exercise. The age structure of people who take part in physical exercise is unbalanced. More people in the age of 50 and above often take part in physical exercise, while the number of people in other age groups is relatively low. The enthusiasm of urban and rural residents to participate in physical exercise has increased, but the scientific fitness consciousness is weak; Sports consumption level has been improved, but “material consumption” is still the main way.

According to the 2010 and 2014 the national physical health test results, overall national physique qualified rate increased, but the average qualified rate is still less than 90%, the number of different provinces qualified differences more, such as the highest and the lowest rate of qualified of the Tibet autonomous region of Guangdong province is 20%, is the national fitness effect is significantly different in different regions, the rural people’s physique qualified rate always is better than city, parts of difference too much, even two year comparison, we can see significant parts of progress such as Liaoning, Henan, Hubei. The qualified rate has dropped in some areas, even substantially, such as Inner Mongolia, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Xinjiang (see Table 5.1).Table 5.1The qualified rate of national physical health
