CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM SISTEMA DE SERVIÇO PÚBLICO DE DESPORTOS PARA IDOSOS SOB A PERSPECTIVA DO ENVELHECIMENTO SAUDÁVEL

ABSTRACT

With the gradual improvement of people's quality of life, the average life expectancy of our country has been extended. It is estimated that the total number of the elderly population in China will exceed 250 million by the end of 2020. Therefore, promoting healthy aging is a necessary measure to cope with the coming aging society in China, and physical exercise is an important method to keep the physical and mental health of the elderly. In order to promote the development of healthy aging in China, this study focused on the current level of public sports services for the elderly. This study uses the expert consultation method to test the rationality of the evaluation index, and uses the method of questionnaire survey to score each evaluation index, and uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to calculate the weight of the index. Finally, the paper takes the public sports service of the elderly in a city as an example to verify. The results show that the level of sports public service for the elderly in this city is only 77,928. Especially the two aspects of allocation of sports venues and the use of funds are the most unsatisfactory ones. It can be targeted to improve these two aspects, so as to improve the level of public sports services for the elderly. It is hoped that, through this study, we can provide some reference for improving the level of sports public service for the elderly from the perspective of healthy aging.
