(School of Physical Education,South China Normal University,Guangzhou 510006,China) Abstract: In order to get out of the situation of a long-term competitive sports downturn after the Tokyo Olympic Games, in 2000 Japan proposed to build a “consistent guidance system” for cultivating athletes, and to implement it at various stages of cultivation and in various areas. The “consistent guidance system” puts forward the following requirements: school physical education should lay a foundation for hunting talents for the “consistent guidance system”; cultivation plans should be established according to athletes’ physical and mental characteristics; guiders should specify cultivation plan’s guidance requirements; in a cultivation plan, the setting of competition levels and times should be well considered. The “consistent guidance system” highlights humanity, wholeness, unity, consistency and economy, having optimized Ja-pan’s competitive sports structure, and actively boosted the revitalization of competitive sports in Japan.
