Starting with sports sociological research, the authors put for-ward some opinions aiming at confusion about the boundary of sports sociological research, believed that only a ba-sic framework had been formed for the sports sociological theory system in China, and pointed out that 3 key areas in localized sports sociological research were theory research, application research and reference research.
