In the author’s opinion, construction objectives of Happy Guangdong in the mass sports area should be gradually realized by taking measures such as gradually realizing “joint construction and sharing” of mass sports venues, actively eliminating region and group differences of mass sports in Guangdong province, strengthening institutional assurance of the public sports service system in Guangdong province, etc. Key words: sports sociology;mass sports;Happy Guangdong |
