(National Institute of Education Sciences，Beijing 100088，China) Abstract: People are the key to construction of the sports power. Throughout the past hundred years, in different historical stages such as revolution, construction and reform, the concepts of "new people of the times" and "sports power" will be put forward accordingly. The party's sports strategy generally presents the development thread of saving, defending, rejuvenating and strengthening the country through sports, which is based on the cultivation of new people of the times. The Communist Party of China has continuously enriched and developed the Marxist theory of "all-round development of man" and the thought of "people's subjectivity". On the basis of inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of Chinese sports, it has formed a systematic and logical ideological system and carried out a positive interaction between theoretical innovation and practical exploration. Among these, one is to adhere to the overall leadership of the party and the theoretical guidance of Marxism on the practical stand; the second is to adhere to the comprehensive planning of physical education and education on the practical path; and the third is to adhere to the national character in practice strategy to promote the coordinated development of mass sports, school sports and competitive sports. Keywords: sports power；new people of the times；theoretical connotation；practical exploration |
