A theoretical model of sports and health integration to promote active health.

BACKGROUND

With the rising incidence of chronic diseases in China, national health management has become increasingly important. The integration of sports and health has become a strategic priority for promoting public health and improving the nation's health level. This study constructs a theoretical model of sports and health integration, exploring how scientific fitness can contribute to promoting active health, especially within the context of the "Healthy China" initiative.

METHODS

This research proposes a comprehensive theoretical framework that combines the "12345 pyramid model of sports and health integration" with the closed-loop service model of scientific fitness. The framework includes various elements such as fitness knowledge learning, health status assessments, specialized exercise training, exercise monitoring, and feedback, aiming to promote lifelong physical activity and optimize health outcomes across different demographic groups.

RESULTS

Promoting fitness knowledge education and chronic disease management has significantly increased public awareness of scientific fitness. Regular health screenings and assessments of exercise capacity help create personalized exercise prescriptions, enhancing participation in physical activities. The closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures continuous improvement in fitness levels and supports long-term engagement in healthy behaviors.

CONCLUSIONS

The sports and health integration theoretical model presented in this study offers an actionable and practical framework to support the implementation of the "Healthy China" initiative. By integrating resources, technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the scientific fitness model can significantly enhance public health, reduce the burden of chronic diseases, and provide a solid foundation for future policy implementation and industry development.
