Theoretical Origin and Framework Construction of Adolescent Sports and Health Promotion in China

By sorting the historical development of the theory and practice of adolescent health promotion in China and abroad, this paper concludes that two major transitions have occurred in this area-the transition from a supplementary means for early diagnosis and treatment to the promotion of a positive and healthy lifestyle;and the transition from the theoretical exploration of stipulating health public policies to the implementation of promotion plans.Successful projects of adolescent health promotion in foreign counties include the President's Challenge, Let's Move, 5-2-1-0, People's Health Movement, Sport Rejuvenation Plans, Designed to Move, Shape It Up, Camp NEW You, Exercise is Medicine, European Network of Health Promoting Schools, Instituto Bola Pra Frente, etc.These exemplary projects are characterized as non-government involvement, comprehensively inclusion of target population, and uneven regional development.The promotion and implementation of adolescent health promotion in China are embodied in the following aspects:the implementation and promotion of health promotion plans in schools, the advancement of national macro policies, and the exploration of a mechanism of connecting different organizations.After analyzing the laws of development and the inner values of adolescent health promotion in China and abroad, considering the actual situation in China, this essay suggests a framework system of Chinese adolescent health promotion, which includes a multi-dimensional development pattern of physical intervention, psychological adjustment and nutritious diets;a multi-dimensional development strategy of connecting schools, homes and communities;and a multi-dimensional monitoring mechanism based on modern information technological monitoring, evaluation and management.It will thereby encourage the full development of the Chinese theory and practice of sports and health promotion that focuses on positive lifestyles.
