The problem of aging in China is intensifying, so the construction of community public culture and sports services for the elderly should also be paid attention to. As an important position of public cultural and sports services, the community has great potential in enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the elderly and promoting the participation of social forces in the construction of an age-friendly society. Based on the review and analysis of the current situation of the literature on community public culture and sports services for the elderly, this paper combines the three aspects of environmental layout, sports facilities and public culture from the perspective of the elderly, in order to provide some reference and reference for the construction of community public culture and sports services for the elderly.

Policy design and implementation: a quantitative evaluation and empirical study of China's rural sports policy based on the PMC index model.

The formulation and implementation of a rural sports policy is an important means of promoting rural sports, improving the physical wellbeing of farmers, and enhancing the cohesion of rural communities. However, introducing such a policy faces problems in the process of specific policy practices, such as poor effective implementation, a lagging implementation effect, and goal cognitive bias. How to look at the current rural sports policy implementation blockage problem and the governance of the blockage, in order to improve the level of rural sports public service, is the focus of this paper's research. On this basis, this paper selects 56 policy texts, issued from 2002 to 2023, that are highly relevant to rural sports and have high timeliness and authority from the sports policies issued in China. Also, ROST CM6 software is used to count high-frequency words; this study then draws keyword social network mapping for the visual analysis of policy preferences and selects 20 rural sports policy texts as typical samples. Finally, a policy modeling research consistency (PMC) index model is used to evaluate the texts comprehensively and quantitatively. The results show that the overall design of China's rural sports policies is relatively reasonable. However, the consistency and effectiveness of their implementation need to be improved. Twenty representative policy texts have an average PMC index score of 5.96, with a concave index of 3.04 (which is good overall), with the highest mean value for rural sports policies at the national level. This is followed by the second highest value at the municipal and county levels, and the smallest at the provincial level. Therefore, in the future formulation and implementation of rural sports policies, a multi-dimensional rural sports policy system should be constructed. This would help to strengthen the consistency and effectiveness of the implementation of the policy system and promote the high-quality development of rural sports.

Research on Digital Empowerment of Public Sports Service System Construction

Building a higher-level public service system for national fitness is an important cornerstone for accelerating the construction of a sports powerhouse, and it is an inherent requirement that meets the people's expectations for a high-quality life. Digital empowerment will become an effective engine and sustained driving force for achieving high-quality supply of public services for national fitness. Through research, an analysis was conducted on the current situation and challenges of a higher-level public service system for national fitness. The study suggests that a wider range of participants are required by a higher-level public service system for national fitness, which requires a renewed understanding of human needs. A stronger element support requires overall system governance, and a more balanced resource layout requires full utilization of data platforms. This study proposes suggestions: to strengthen the construction of digital infrastructure for public sports services; Accelerate the construction of digital talent teams for public sports services; Establish a mechanism for sharing information and data on public sports services, and strengthen the construction of digital technology governance mechanisms for public sports services. Research aimed at promoting the construction of a digital empowerment public sports service system.

Health effect of public sports services and public health services: empirical evidence from China.

There is no clear explanation for the extraordinary rebound in China's population mortality over the past decade. This paper utilizes panel data from 31 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2020 to determine the distinct impacts of public sports services (PSS), public health services (PMS), and their interaction on population mortality. Empirical results show that public sports services significantly reduce mortality. Every unit increase in public sports services reduces mortality by about 2.3%. It is characterized by delayed realization. Public health services were surprisingly associated with a rebound in mortality. Further studies found strong health effect from interaction of public sports and health services. The effect was significantly strengthened in areas with fewer extreme temperatures or developed economy. The findings have important policy implications for the high-quality development of public sports and health services. It also emphasizes integration of sports and medicine and mitigates health risks associated with extreme temperatures.

Research on Sports Public Service Supply in the Chengdu–Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle under the Background of Regional Economic Development

Using literature, questionnaires, interviews, and mathematical statistics to investigate the current situation of sports public services in the Chengdu–Chongqing Twin-city Economic Circle. The results show that there are some problems in Chengdu–Chongqing sports public services, such as big difference in the development level of supply between urban and rural areas, low supply level, low efficiency, supply mechanism defect, lack of social sports instructors, an outstanding contradiction between the quality of sports public service and residents’ demand. To address the problems, government departments should accelerate the transformation of government functions, improve the relevant regulations and systems, increase the investment in sports public services, improve the quality of supply, cultivate the backbone team, integrate resources, and combine the national characteristics with regional characteristics, take into account the personalized needs of the residents, combine the sports public services with intelligence, and build the service system of “Internet + Fitness.”

Research on The Times Value of Village Public Sports Space Planning: Theoretical Logic, Practical Approach and Big Data Application Exploration in The Background of Rural Revitalization

It is the key to the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the inevitable way to use big data to help the spatial planning of village sports, improve the efficiency of spatial allocation of resources, and promote the high-quality development of rural sports. This paper mainly adopts research methods such as literature materials and logical analysis to explore the Times value of village public sports space planning, expound the theoretical logic and practical difficulties of village public sports space planning, and then propose practical approaches and big data application exploration. The research finds that the Times value of village public sports space planning is reflected in the aspects of increasing the effective supply of public sports space, stimulating the spillover value of public sports space, and satisfying the ardent yearning for a better life. Based on the theoretical logic of continuous co-construction, co-governance and sharing, dynamic improvement of suitable adaptation, long-term improvement of convenience and safety, and steady integration into livability and business. It is found that the planning of village public sports space is faced with such realistic difficulties as the imbalance of resource supply standards and allocation among villages, the weakening of residents' participation in planning, the lack of guidance in technical operation and planning layout, and the insufficient coupling degree between public sports space and village environment. It is proposed that the planning of village public sports space should follow the practice path of overall planning of inter-village sports service resource supply, mobilizing residents' enthusiasm to participate in spatial planning, enabling the layout and location of sports space with digital technology, and forming diversified public sports service supply.

Research on the spatial allocation of national fitness resources at the street scale—taking Fuzhou city as an example

To explore the spatial allocation of national fitness resources at different spatial scales in Fuzhou city to provide useful references for optimizing and enhancing the spatial allocation of national fitness resources and urban planning. The equity, spatial distribution characteristics, accessibility and supply-demand balance of national fitness resources in Fuzhou city are analysed in depth by using the two-step mobile search method of multiple travel modes, the Gini coefficient, and exploratory spatial data analysis methods. The results show that the overall spatial allocation of national fitness resources is in a balanced state, but there are serious inequities and spatial mismatches in each district (county); the spatial distribution of national fitness resources is characterized by centralized agglomeration and surface dispersion, being dense in the south and sparse in the north. Areas with insufficient resources per capita have an agglomeration-type scattering distribution; areas with sufficient resources per capita have a dispersed patch distribution. Access to national fitness resources and the relationship between their supply and demand are characterized by positive spatial concentration; however, the layout of the national fitness resources planned for the old urban areas urgently needs to be optimized, with the Chating and Antai streets serving as centres, to increase the effective supply. Finally,we suggestions that Top-level design should be strengthened, the communalization of sports public services should be promoted, the service capacity and utilization efficiency of national fitness resources should be enhanced, and the construction of national fitness resources in new urban areas and new industrial agglomerations should be accelerated.

Creating a Rehabilitation Sports Public Service Information Systems Using Service Design Thinking: Physical Activity Management of the Disabled after Discharge in the Republic of Korea.

The Republic of Korea has established an institutional framework to expedite the provision of rehabilitation sports public services to individuals with disabilities post-hospital discharge (Act on Guarantee of Right to Health and Access to Health Services for People with Disabilities in December 2017). Regrettably, this service remains non-operational to date. This study employs a service design approach to identify and develop essential elements for the effective implementation of public rehabilitation sports services in Korea. Adopting the service design method, including the empathize-define-ideate-prototype phases, co-creation activities were conducted with three teams comprising people with disabilities, caregivers, rehabilitation physicians, specialized sports instructors, facility managers, and government officials, emphasizing equitable distribution. By leveraging the experiences of people with disabilities, these teams collaboratively engaged in creative activities to formulate strategies for delivering prompt and user-friendly rehabilitation sports public services post-hospital discharge. Contributions from each team were meticulously collected and organized, incorporating diverse perspectives into the development of the Korean Rehabilitation Sports Public Service Information System (KRSPSIS). Additionally, we presented a scenario illustrating the practical application of the KRSPSIS. Through this system, we anticipate providing more efficient and convenient rehabilitation sports public services to individuals with disabilities during the critical early stages following hospital discharge.

With the rapid development of the economy, the living standards of Chinese people have generally improved. Consequently, sports facilities have been improved and the concept of sports has been redefined. The implementation of the national fitness program has stimulated the public’s interest in sports. However, the popularization and development of sports for the disabled still face a series of obstacles. To enhance the quality of disabled sports public services in China, safeguard the rights of individuals with disabilities, and foster societal harmony, this paper adopts a multifaceted approach. Drawing upon literature review and logical analysis, it aims to provide policy guidance, optimize service delivery, enhance supervision mechanisms, facilitate feedback mechanisms, and implement scientific management practices. Drawing from successful cases in the United States, this paper aims to address key challenges in the provision of sports public services for individuals with disabilities in China. By examining the service content offered by relevant platforms in the US, specific solutions are proposed to overcome existing shortcomings in China’s disabled sports public services. Additionally, the paper outlines a construction model for sports health service platforms catering to people with special needs.

Development and validation of a measurement tool for assessing municipal sports services in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

Drawing upon a literature review concerning the diagnosis, description, and evaluation of local sports, we formulated and validated a precise measurement instrument intended for characterizing the municipal sports services in the province of Buenos Aires (PBA), Argentina. The objective of the present study was to design and validate a measurement instrument for the characterisation of the municipal sports services of the PBA. We conducted a content validation process in two phases. In the first phase, the initial preliminary version of the instrument was reviewed and assessed by a panel of five experts, with a follow-up and adaptation by the research team. Afterwards, the final measurement instrument was evaluated by an expanded panel of 12 experts, showing high validity indexes (Aiken's V = 0.93) with figures greater than 0.9 in the lower extreme confidence intervals. In the second phase, to assess the reliability of the measurement instrument, a pilot study was carried out with 10 municipal sports offices from the PBA. Correlation coefficients of the test and retest responses greater than 0.9 were obtained, reflecting a high level of stability in the answers of the officials. The validated tool is a useful and reliable resource for managers of municipal sports services to operate with updated technical knowledge in decision-making. The instrument could be useful for the provincial authorities of the area, as it would allow to have a georeferenced characterisation of the sports supply and guide the local governments in the decision about sports interventions and the monitoring of the public sports service.

Spatial Characterization of Sports Economic Linkages - Based on an Evolutionary Game Theory Perspective

Abstract There exists an important connection between the development of the sports economy and the development of spatial characteristics, but the current development of spatial characteristics of sports economic linkages suffers from the lack of identification and screening of the subjects of interest and the inability to articulate the structure of the interests of each subject. The article adopts the research paradigm based on rooted theory to encode the game phenomenon of the spatial characteristics of sports economic linkages and constructs an evolutionary game model that integrates the sports administrative regulator, the supply side of community public sports services, and the demand side. The optimal equilibrium strategy to promote the sustainable development of urban community public sports services spatial governance is also explored by combining the Jacobian matrix and simulation experiments. Although the tripartite subjects play different dynamic roles at different stages of transformation, they all converge to the steady state of (1, 1, 1) in the end. In addition, the three have different evolutionary processes. First, the probability of choosing the support strategy in the economic core area decreases and then rises, while the probability of government support and mass recognition both increase. The economic core area, government support, and mass recognition are all experiencing a gradual increase. Finally, the probability of mass recognition shows a first decline and then a rise, while the probability of economic core area and government support continues to show an increase, and the three finally evolve into a (1, 1, 1) strategy steady state.

Government Support, Community Recreation Facilities, and Physical Activity in China: A Cross-Sectional Socioecological Analysis.

In the context of rising noncommunicable diseases, Chinese authorities emphasize the need for local governments to provide public sports services to support physical activity (PA). Employing a socioecological theoretical framework, and drawing on a hierarchical data set synthesized from the China Health and Nutrition Survey, China Stock Market & Accounting Research Database, and Wind Financial Terminal from 2015, a multilevel analysis of the association between provincial government expenditure on culture, sports, and media from 12 provinces, the recreation facilities provided by 287 communities, and PA of n = 10,305 individuals is performed. The number of, and time allocated to, PAs undertaken as well as their METs equivalent in relation to World Health Organization guidelines are investigated. Controlling for a large set of individual confounders, the results show that community recreation facilities and provincial government expenditure have a significant positive association with PA participation that exceeds health guidelines. The results confirm the importance of government support for sport and the provision of community sport and PA facilities in China. This has implications for public health policy generally including the Western context. It remains, however, that the cultural context of engagement also needs further consideration.

Optimization of spatial distribution of sports parks based on accessibility analysis.

In recent years, public sports services have attracted great attention owing to their increasingly important role in public health. However, effective evaluation metrics measuring the efficiency of such services from a spatial perspective (e.g., accessibility and distribution of sports parks) remain absent. Indeed, most designs of sports park distribution in urban areas did not consider practical factors such as local road networks, population distribution, and resident preference, resulting in low utilization rates of these parks. In this study, a spatial accessibility-based method is proposed for evaluation of the distributions of sports parks. As a demonstration, the distribution of sports parks in the central urban area of Changsha, China was investigated using the proposed method by the GIS network analysis. Additionally, optimization strategies for sports park distribution (in terms of spatial distribution and overall accessibility) were developed by using spatial syntax.
