Introduction
Mass sports are an indispensable foundation for the development of the sports careers. Breaking through the dilemma of modernizing mass sports governance, enhancing the level of modernization of mass sports governance, and accelerating the modernization of mass sports governance are not only necessary for innovating the governance of mass sports, but also the trend of strengthening the sports governance system and governance capabilities, and more importantly, they are essential for the comprehensive construction of a modern sports powerhouse.
Methods
Mainly using research methods such as literature review, field research, and expert interviews, searched the "CSSCI Journal" on CNKI with the themes of "Sports for all” “Mass sports governance" in resent 10 years (from January 2014 to January 2024), retrieved 262 and 99 papers respectively. Read more than 60 relevant core journal articles, and study more than 10 relevant reports and monographs. The authors went to 10 universities, took part in face-to-face interviews with more than 20 experts in 2023.
Results
Research shows that the modernization of mass sports governance has three positive effects: 1) addressing the issue of unequal public service in national fitness; 2) improving the physical health of the people; 3) meeting the increasing demand for sports in the pursuit of a better life.
The study also found that there are three practical challenges in achieving the modernization of mass sports governance: 1) the development foundation of modern mass sports governance needs to be strengthened; 2) the innovation capability of modern mass sports governance urgently needs to be enhanced; 3) the level of coordination in modern mass sports governance still needs to be improved.
Discussion
Research indicates that the implementation measures for advancing the modernization of mass sports governance need to be addressed from four aspects:1) Strengthening the rule of law construction to provide a legal environment and guarantee for modern governance. Clarify the legal scope of government, market, and sports organizations responsibilities.2) Improving the service system to enhance the quality and level of modern governance. Constructing a stable and reasonable financial investment mechanism and implementing government accountability for public fitness services.3) Reinforcing the integration of ideas to provide momentum and support for modern governance. Implementing "coordinated" governance changes the governance approach of "going it alone".4) Perfecting governance systems to construct a new pattern and new approach for modern governance. Fully leverage the collaborative role of party organizations at all levels, government, sports social organizations, and the public in the modernization of mass sports governance.
