During this year's Two Sessions, representatives proposed multiple initiatives to advance the sports industry:  

Outdoor Sports Infrastructure: Bao Mingxiao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and Dean of the China Sports Policy Institute at Beijing Sport University, recommended that new public parks allocate no less than 20% of their total area to outdoor sports facilities, including trails, cycling paths, and fitness zones.  

Homegrown Sports IP Cultivation: Ding Shizhong, CPPCC member and Chairman of Anta Group, urged local governments to cultivate original sports event IPs and provide policy support in venue leasing, security coordination, and cross-departmental collaboration.  

Winter Sports Economy: CPPCC member Sha Yuchao emphasized leveraging the 2025 Asian Winter Games to boost snow-and-ice consumption, refine industry standards, and transform "ice and snow into economic assets" through job creation and industrial upgrades.  

2025: Milestone for the National Fitness Initiative  

As the final year of the *National Fitness Plan (2021-2025)*, China has achieved remarkable progress:  

A more robust public fitness service system;  

Increased accessibility to sports facilities (urban "15-minute fitness circles" now cover 89% of communities);  

Rising public enthusiasm for exercise (participation rate reached 41.3% in 2023).  

"Sports + Vitality": Empowering Youth Health  

Targeting the structural challenges of youth "time poverty" and "exercise deficit," policymakers have implemented a multi-pronged approach:  

"Double Reduction" Policy: Reduced academic and extracurricular tutoring burdens, increasing daily exercise time for students to 93 minutes (up 47% since 2021);  

"1525" School Sports Model: Mandatory 1-hour PE classes + 5 elective sports clubs + mastery of 2 sports skills + 5-km home-school fitness circuits.  

"Sports + Wellness": Reimagining Elderly Health  

The booming "silver economy" exposes critical gaps in senior fitness services:  

Safety Risks: 68.9% of seniors lack scientific guidance, leading to joint injuries (32.1%) and cardiovascular strain (21.7%);  

Supply Shortages: Only 15% of fitness programs are elderly-adapted.  

Solutions:  

AI-Driven Risk Assessment: Wearables integrated with medical data to customize exercise thresholds;  

"Sports-Medicine Integration" Hubs: Community-based centers offering injury prevention and rehabilitation (piloted in Shanghai, reducing senior sports injuries by 27%).  

"Sports + Technology": Smart Fitness for All  

Aligned with the "new quality productive forces" vision, smart sports infrastructure is revolutionizing public health:  

IoT-Enabled Stadiums: Unified platforms for booking, event management, and real-time analytics (e.g., Shenzhen Futian Sports Center cut operational costs by 23% while boosting revenue 18%);  

AI Coaching: AR glasses correct exercise postures with ≤3° error, minimizing injury risks;  

Data-Driven Services: Personalized fitness plans via wearable tech, improving user retention by

The prominence of "sports" in this year’s Two Sessions underscores its multi-dimensional value—from enhancing public health to fueling economic growth. As every citizen becomes an active participant in this national fitness movement, sports will illuminate every corner of life, solidifying the foundation for a healthier, stronger China.
