As people have more leisure time, the number of people who take part in physical training is raising rapidly. However, less of sports grounds and facilities can' t satisfy the need of these people. Mass sports are well concerned by the related department. The state council issued National Sports For All Program in June, 1995 to improve the physical quality and fitness of the whole population. It can not only expand our mass sports but also promote the cause of socialist modernization of China' s development. National bureau of sports formulated the Interim management Provisions of China Sports Lottery National Fitness Project in September, 2000. The program is clearly expounded in the second provision. China Sports Lottery National Fitness Project means administrative departments of sports at all levels take the sports lottery as a start-up funding and donate them to urban communities, towns and villages, which unitary organized by National bureau of sports and built by the donated unit in order to expand free sports grounds and facilities for fitness activities. The gymnastic appliance included the horizontal bar, Parallel bar, ribbed wood, scaling ladder ,walk machine ,Taiji push-hand , educational portfolio calculations and so on, which are installed in the residential areas, parks , squares and some safe places where are convenient for the people having physical training. The project is called National Fitness Route now. It not only enhances the implementation of National Sports for All Program but also satisfies the demand of the mass who take part in the physical training. Although some experts and scholars in china have made some theory and practice research on national fitness route in our country, a systemic study on fitness route in Jiangxi province is still a blank. Two questionnaires were designed in the thesis which based on interviewing some officers who work in the department of sports for all in Jiangxi province and Nanchang city, in addition to five educational and physical bureaus which located in donghu, xihu, qingyunpu, qingshanhu and wangle districts. The questionnaires refer to two investigations .one is the third investigation about the status of urban and rural residents who take part in the physical training, the other is an investigation on the nation fitness route facilities. Therefore, the writer designed the two questionnaires that are the construction, application and management in urban community in Nanchang. One is for the residents, the other is for the government. Two communities in each district are chosen as investigated places at random.Trough investigation and analysis, the current situation of the use, construction and management in urban communities in Nanchang are followings.1.
