Under the concept of big health, national fitness has become popular
author:Xie Zhigang(Special researcher of Beijing Research Center for Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, Director of Beijing Sports University News Center)
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken meeting the people’s fitness needs and promoting people’s all-round development as the starting point and end point of sports work, raising national fitness as a national strategy, and promoting national fitness and national health. fusion. In the past 10 years, national fitness facilities have been significantly improved, mass sports events have flourished, national fitness participation has been continuously improved, and people’s lifestyles have become more civilized and healthy. “Sports make life better” has become a hot reality.
Standing at the historical intersection of the “two centenary” goals, national fitness presents a new era of characteristics.
First, the two national strategies of national fitness and healthy China are closely linked and deeply integrated. The concept of “exercise is a good doctor” is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the integration of sports and health, and the integration of sports and tourism are gradually deepening. People have changed from “I want to exercise” to “I want to exercise”, and active fitness and scientific fitness are gradually integrated into their daily lives. By the end of 2021, the proportion of people who regularly participate in physical exercise will reach 37.2%. Second, focus on the pain points of the people’s fitness needs, and quickly fill in the shortcomings of “hardware” and “software”. By the end of 2021, there will be 3.971 million sports venues nationwide, with a sports venue area of 3.41 billion square meters and a per capita sports venue area of 2.41 square meters, an increase of 134.3%, 71.2% and 65.1% over 2013 respectively. “It has become a good place for daily exercise, and more sports venues are open to the society for free or low fees. In the coverage of fitness projects, a large number of activities that are convenient for the people, benefit the people, and benefit the people appear around the people, and sports such as ice and snow sports that have been strongly influenced by regions in the past have achieved leapfrog development. Third, new technology empowers national fitness. With the blessing of 5G technology, cloud live broadcasts and short videos are developing rapidly, and various fashionable sports equipment and software platforms are lowering the threshold for sports and making people’s lives more and more distant. the closer.
Sports is not only the meaning of a country’s prosperity, but also the foundation of an individual’s happy life; it is not only an important driving force for promoting economic and social development, but also a platform window to display the country’s cultural soft power. On the new journey, to continue to promote the in-depth development of national fitness, we must better understand the value and significance of national fitness. For individuals, fitness is the most affordable health investment; for society, national fitness is the most inclusive public service; National, national fitness can improve the health level of the whole nation, promote the progress of social civilization, and promote the all-round development of people.
Looking at the whole country, the vigorous and fiery national fitness movement has not only made people healthier physically and mentally, but has also become a good recipe for people to boost their spirits; the happiness, self-confidence, and openness brought about by sports contain magnificent positive energy, which is a great source of energy for the people. National rejuvenation injects new spiritual vitality and development momentum.
On the road to common prosperity, we must firmly establish the concept of big sports and big health, improve the health literacy of the whole people, and continue to promote the deep integration of national fitness and national health with practical measures. We believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, national fitness will become a common practice and become a popular social trend.

Climb and feel the beauty of mountains and rivers
Narrator: Wang Yong, President of Ningxia Yinchuan Mountaineering Association
“Ningxia Chuan is sharp at both ends. The Yellow River is in the east and Helan Mountain is in the west.” Like many mountaineering and hiking enthusiasts, we like to treat the top of the mountain and the river as a natural gym. Just a few days ago, at the National Mass Fitness Mountaineering Conference and the First Helan Mountain National Mountaineering Competition, mountaineering enthusiasts from all over the world gathered in Yinchuan and set off towards the mountains and rivers.
In 2013, my friends and I founded the Yinchuan Mountaineering Association, and the number of members has grown from dozens to more than 25,000 today. In recent years, the government has taken the lead in holding a series of activities such as the National Mass Fitness Mountaineering Conference, the “I’m Going” National Hiking Linkage Day, and the Helan Mountain Star Camping Conference, and the association has actively participated in it.
In response to the call of national fitness, the association also organized the theme hiking activities of “Fenghuo Great Wall” and “My Yellow River”, and planned to walk all the routes of the Great Wall and the Ningxia section of the Yellow River in two years. The association also actively participates in the ecological protection along the Great Wall and the Yellow River, and encourages everyone to pick up the rubbish left in mountain climbing and hiking by redeeming points for gifts and activity coupons, so as to jointly protect the beautiful environment.
Next, we plan to launch 40 series of hiking activities, “Discover the Beauty of Ningxia” and “My Hometown and Me”, to let more people know about this great place in Ningxia.

fitness, stay in good shape
Narrator: Internet fitness expert Wang Jing
The reason why I participate in online fitness teaching is not only because I majored in physical education in university, but also because I have rich working experience. From fitness trainer, sports course designer, coach trainer to training director in a fitness institution, these experiences contain my original intention – to let more people have a good body and posture.
After the Spring Festival in 2019, I started to share sports and fitness videos online. Unexpectedly, it only took 3 months to make a lot of explosions. Later, when the new crown pneumonia epidemic hit, I took a lot of sports and fitness videos that can be trained at home, and the response was good. Some fans left a message suggesting that I start a live broadcast. Now, just turn on the phone and you can find me – everyone’s “handheld private education”. I also set up a fitness class online, and established a fat-reducing and shaping camp to allow more people to move.
Thanks to this good era, let us plug in the wings of the Internet to ride the wind and let more people benefit from scientific sports for life.
message board
Over the years, in order to let the elderly in the village have fun, we have built a gate court. In order to attract the elderly to participate, we organized teams to play games and raised funds to buy sports equipment for the elderly. Due to the low threshold for playing croquet, the enthusiasm of the elderly to participate is getting higher and higher. Nowadays, the old people gather in the gate court whenever they have time to play and chat, which is very popular. A small goal kick makes the old people move and make them happy.

Our school is located in an industrial area on the outskirts of the city. Parents are busy with work, and many students have become “little buns” under the doting of their grandparents. Since the implementation of the “double reduction” policy for a year, the school has arranged various forms of inter-class exercises, such as table tennis exercises and fancy rope skipping. Physical education teachers set up interest classes after class to take children to practice basketball, badminton, etc. This summer, many children teamed up to go back to school to play football. The summer campus was full of laughter and laughter. Seeing each “little fat pier” become strong and vigorous, teachers and parents were all overjoyed.
——Wang Gongqin, Vice Principal of Longtang School, Feidong County, Anhui Province
After retirement, I passed the exam and became a social sports instructor, teaching Tai Chi and Health Qigong in parks and squares every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Unexpectedly, many young people also actively participated. Now, people exercising can be seen everywhere in parks, squares, and under city walls. I am really happy to see more and more people moving.
——Gu Xiaohua, national first-level social sports instructor and director of Suzhou Social Sports Instructors Association of Jiangsu Province
I often walk along the trails built along the mountains. Walking through the mountains and forests, there are not only slow road networks, but also landscape scenery. “China under the toes” is so beautiful and refreshing. This year, I participated in the “National Fitness and the Winter Olympics” held in Gushan, the New Year’s hiking activity, and the 10,000-person walking activity held on Feifeng Mountain. Every weekend, I will organize hiking in the surrounding mountains and cross-country, which not only improves my physical fitness, More can feel the beauty of mountains and rivers.
