(School of Physical Education,Northwest Normal University,Lanzhou 730070,China) Abstract: In China, leisure sports and social sports (mass sports, sports for all) are not clearly distinguished, schol-ars talk about them differently on academic forums, universities manage physical education differently, which are not conducive to the development of leisure sport. Developed countries’ experiences in leisure sports development, such as valuing the study of leisure and leisure sports, the development of leisure education and leisure sports, the development of the leisure sports industry, the cultivation and development of backbone forces for leisure sports etc, are worthy of our reference. The author put forward the following solutions for leisure sports development in China: 1)develop leisure sports and social sports concurrently; 2)replace social sports with leisure sports during fusion.
