ABSTRACT

The management of sports science research in China has a profound history. With the ascendancy of China's sports consumption and sports industry, the country's sports science research has also expanded appreciably. The strategic research association also formulated some important strategy documents, such as Chinese Sports in 2000 completed in the 1980s and Outline for Sports Reform and Development released at the end of 1999. Sports science society is also divided into two levels in China. The first is the China Sports Science Society—the sole national-level society in China. There are also provincial-level sports science societies throughout China. As a nationally academic group and consulting organization, China Sports Development Strategy Research Association is composed of organization members and individual members, studies China's sports development strategy and serves for sports decision making. The development of university sports think tanks is conducive to the solution of major social problems in sports in the course of social transformation.
