In modern society, health is the precondition of every social activity. Focusing on health, especially the health condition of the handicapped is a forever topic.For some inevitable reasons of inheritance, accidents and diseases, our country has about 60 million handicapped people, with a growing number of 700,000---800,000 people every year. If together with his relationships, there are about 100 million Chinese citizens involved. Disabled physical training is the best choice for the handicapped in that it not only improves the body enginery during the training but also strengthens the volition and eliminates the passive emotion of the handicapped. What is more, disabled sports teach the involved to communicate and cooperate with others, thus to enhance the ability of social communication. The disabled sport is an effective means for the disabled to get into the social communications. Various sports enable the handicapped to take part in some group activities, which help them establish self-confidence and self-esteem. Disabled physical training is a getting-well instrument, which is even better than medical treatment.By reading massive literature material and interviewing some experts in Tangshan Handicapped Association, the author gets that participation in sports training is an efficient measure of improving the health condition of the handicapped.The thesis uses the research approaches of document and material, investigation and so on. After random investigations of teachers, tutors and leaders in communities, special education schools, welfare organizations, paraplegic nursing homes and handicapped associations of all levels in Tangshan, the research paper obtained the problems existing in disabled sports. At the same time, the thesis investigates the current status of the disabled physical training in Tangshan downtown area. By analysis and discussion, the thesis puts forward some countermeasures. The conclusions are as follows:1 At present, most disabled people in Tangshan downtown area have the motivation of participating sports and they are able to realize the multifunction of sports. However, with low education and income, the handicapped regard body building and healing as the main motivation of doing sports. The functions of social communication, pressure elimination and amusement are recognized by only few people.2 In Tangshan downtown area, jogging and power-striding are most popular among disabled people of all categories. The following choices are aerobic activities such as dancing, body exercises and folk dance, which require less on places and equipments. These exercises can be done in the places of special schools, nursing homes and communities. However, the sports enthusiasm of the handicapped are affected to some extent.3 The handicapped are in lacking of sports equipments. The quality and quantity of sports facilities do not meet the need. Economic income affects much on the satisfaction of the disabled towards exercises places and equipments. On doing sports, the handicapped are affected by their own body conditions and the pressure from life and work, so the time and frequency can not fulfill the intention of body exercises. The level of sports consumption is low. Quite some disabled have no consumption on sports. Among the cases of consumptions on sports, physical commodity consumption takes a higher rate and non-physical consumption takes a lower rate. The pattern of consumption in Tangshan downtown area is unreasonable.4 In Tangshan downtown area, there is a wide range of sources of P.E teachers, counselors and coaches, but the degrees of these people are ordinary. There are many middle aged coaches who are energetic but in lacking of speculative knowledge and experiences. Most coaches are eager to attain a chance of professional training, but the chances are few.5 The organization of Tangshan Handicapped Association is proper, but is still in a condition that one person takes charge of more than one tusks. The managers'attentions are distracted, thus can not get wholly involved in the work of sports. Finally, the thesis proposes the solving countermeasures for developing the sports movement of the handicapped people in Tangshan downtown area from the reality.1 Enhance the propaganda of Nationwide Fitness Movement, build an environment of body training and motivate their awareness of participating the Fitness Movement.2 Finance for the training of the handicapped in different ways, find more sources of funds and find more jobs for them.3 Train social sport supervisors for the handicapped and enhance the guidance for scientific body training of the disabled.4 Enhance the psychological guidance for the handicapped and their relatives.
