| Ganzhou, as the second largest city in Jiangxi province, is the most populous city, and has the largest jurisdictional area. At the end of2011, aging population has reached1.155million, accounting for12.58%of the population. According with the standards of the international population age, the Ganzhou has entered an ageing society. The large scale of the elderly population puts forward severe challenges on how to achieve healthy ageing. The articles mainly studies elderly sports, which is one of the ways and means for realizing healthy ageing. So I choose440elderly people and community cadres who are over the age of60as the research object, using questionnaire survey and field interview. It has surveyed and analyzed the present situation of elderly sports in Ganzhou community, and revealed the existing problems. From the perspective of implementing healthy ageing. I have analyzed objectively the chance and challenge we will face in developing elderly sports of Ganzhou community. To promote carrying out activities of elderly sports and improving the lever of healthy ageing, I put forward some countermeasures and advice for elderly sports of Ganzhou community.The results show that:1、In the elderly people of physical exercise of Ganzhou community, the proportion of female is significantly higher than the male. Age distribution of elderly people in doing exercising mainly concentrates on60and74, accounting for87.1%in the total number of elderly people. The proportion of different age’s elderly people in physical exercise declines with age. Elderly people’s degree of education mostly focuses on high school and junior school. Their level of understanding of sports knowledge is low, and they know sports knowledge mainly from the way of mass media. The proportion of participating in physical exercise of elderly people, who’s spouse alive or live with spouse alone, is higher than other populations. Participate in exercise of elderly people, the number of elderly people engaged in manual labor is more, and the one of brain worker is less. The elderly people’s monthly income is mainly between500and1500yuan. It indicates that the frequency of taking part in physical exercise is inversely proportional to monthly income.86%of the elderly people have chronic diseases, such as Motion organ disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. It illustrates that the potential demand of elderly people in participating in physical exercise is quite high.2、The purpose of Ganzhou community’s elder people taking exercises, is clear, physical fitness and improve healthy is the first choice. It fully demonstrates as the age grows, healthy becomes the most concerned problem for elder people. And sports, as a means of entertainment and medical rehabilitation, has been concerned more and more by Ganzhou community’s elderly people. Having much free time, the elderly people spend long time in taking part in physical exercise, and its frequency is high. The year many elderly people insist on physical exercises is long, and it shows persistent toughness. Exercise location distribution is park square, residential quarters, roads and streets in turn, which is free and has a spacious space nearby. The charge gym has hardly elderly people to choose. The mainly ways that elderly people do exercises are personal training and with friends, colleagues, family, neighbors together. Exercise time is almost in the morning and after dinner. Walking and running is the first choice of the ways to exercise. The elderly people’s sports consumption is very low, and haven’t shaped the concept spending money in buying health. Exercise effect of the elderly self-evaluate is good, and the expectant exercise effect that elderly people always do exercises is better than the ones of litter exercise. It shows that physical activity has been one of the content and way of life for elderly people.3、Some street office and residents’ committees begin to pay attentions to the management elderly sports of Ganzhou community. They have equipped with part-time sports cadres, who has younger age and high school degree but graduate from non-sports majors and without professional sports training. The systematical rate of elderly people taking part in sports is not high. They always do exercise in a spontaneous and unorganized way. So most sports organizations are ineffective. The total amount of sports facilities is few, the per capita amount is even less. What’s more, the sports facilities for elderly people doing exercises are so little that it can’t meet the diversity demand of the elderly people doing exercises. The expenditure that elderly people participate in physical exercise is mostly from government, street office, neighborhood committees, corporate sponsorship, self-raised funds, and hardly individual payment. It indicates that elderly people’s sports consumption consciousness and independent consciousness need to be strengthened. Elderly people’s knowledge of scientific exercises is poor. And the proportion of advanced age old people participating in physical exercise is low. Elderly people taking part in exercise is lack of personnel guidance, especially professional sports instructors are very few. Many elderly people receive guidance from unprofessional instructors. And some elderly people have never received guidance from sports instructors.4、The sports for the aged of Ganzhou community should develop toward the direction of healthy and science, will formed a pattern of healthy aging of elderly people, and finally move towards healthy aging society.Suggestion:(1) We should establish regulations of elderly people as soon as possible, making sure that it has law regulations to relay on and promoting healthy aging soon. (2) With the goal of healthy aging, we should constantly improve the sports’participation rate of elderly people in Ganzhou community. And the key is improving the young elderly people’s sports participation rate. In other words, it is to improving the sports population proportion of young elderly people, which lay a solid foundation for the future of the healthy aging.(3) In order to solve the embarrassed situation of fully managed or completely ignored, we should stipulate specific that street office is responsible for the management and organizing, the government will play a role of guidance, coordination and services, and help the community to solve some the problem that they can’t solve by themselves..(4)We should advocate the principle of government supporting a litter, community providing a little by itself, individual paying a little, improving the environment and conditions for elderly sports, to solve the problems of elderly people sports’fund shortage. We should especially pay attention to cultivate the idea of spending money on health, to change their concepts regarding sports as welfare, and increase the individual’s investment in sports.(5) We should fully open sports facilities within the community, excavate unique integrated sports in community, to realize that elderly people can take exercises without leaving community. What’s more, the gym should provide preferential policy for elderly people as the content of preferential card for them.(6) The community can launch various forms of training course, making full use of the sports instructors and publicity column in the community. And it should strengthen the guidance and dissemination of the elderly sports knowledge, promote the benefits of physical exercise, and enhance the consciousness of health aging, to take measures to make elderly people’s activities regularly. |
