The concept of leisure sports was first used in some economically developed countries such as the United States. After the founding of New China, leisure sports in China have developed to some extent. Since China introduced the market economy system from 65438 to 0978, the national economy has developed rapidly and people's living standards have been greatly improved, thus establishing a preliminary concept of leisure sports scale.
The development of leisure sports is closely related to the social, economic and cultural development in the same period. The more developed the society, economy and culture in a period, the better leisure sports will be.
