(Department of Physical Education,Weifang Institute,Weifang 261061,China) Abstract: The level of overall development of insurance systems (especially the sports insurance system) of China is lower than that of developed countries. The author studied foreign sports insurance system modes and their inspi-ration to China, and revealed the following findings: different countries have different sports insurance system modes: 1) sports insurance system mode governed and participated by the government; 2) civil sports insurance system mode supported by the government; 3) commercial sports insurance system mode sponsored by the govern-ment; 4) sports insurance system mode selectively supported by the government; 5) sports insurance system mode monopolistically run by the government. The inspiration of foreign sports insurance system modes to China is that China should gradually establish and perfect the sports insurance system by referring to international experience coupled with Chinese circumstances, so as to boost the development of the sports insurance undertaking.
