The author also estimated the net effect of health return of sport. The author revealed the following findings: 1) between sports behavior and health return there is not only unidirectional causal correlation (i.e. sport promotes health), but also a bidirectional functioning mechanism; 2) the effect of sports resource distribution on people’s sports participation is not homogeneous, its degrees of functioning on different groups are different; 3) the unbalance of sports resource layout will trigger problems such as sports partici-pation inequality and health return inequality etc.
