Abstract:
The Integration of Sports and Health forms an essential part of China's distinctive public health service system, and the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and active health of the elderly group are important practice directions of physical and health integration.Research highlights that this approach effectively supports cardiovascular health, addresses musculoskeletal disorders, alleviates neurodegenerative conditions, and enhances mental well-being, thereby contributing positively to chronic disease prevention and management in the elderly population.Currently, community organizations and professional institutions are the primary providers of these services in China.Looking ahead, the development of elderly-oriented sports and health integration services in China should focus on ensuring institutional and policy support, promoting health-conscious ideologies, delivering high-quality services, and cultivating a skilled professional workforce, as well as establishing a standardized evaluation system.
