Based on these characteristics of sports training, the authors put forward the following suggestion: 1) we should accurately grasp the characteristics of sports training, straighten out the correlations between various elements in sports training, so that sports training itself develops toward a healthy, orderly benign condition; 2) we should, based on the characteristics of sports training, actively establish new theories and methods suitable for sports training, so that the theoretical foundation of sports training can be constantly expanded and developed in practice; 3) we should, based on the characteristics of sports training, fully understand the characteristics of sports individuals, work out practically feasible sports plans, rationally arrange sports loads, and cre-ate conditions for individuals to achieve their best performance to the maximum extent.
