The Impact of Physical Education and Management Practices on Promoting Sustainable Development of Sports

Abstract

Sustainable development of sports has become an important goal for the development of sports in the new era. In order to explore the impact mechanism of sports education and management practices on sustainable sports development, this study constructs a theoretical model of “sports education-sports management-sports sustainable development” based on quantitative research methods. The study uses a questionnaire survey to select three representative provinces in the east, central and west of China to conduct a sample survey of sports educators, sports managers and sports participants, with a total of 300 valid questionnaires returned. Statistical software such as SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used to conduct reliability and validity tests, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation model analysis. The results of the study show that: (1) there is a significant positive correlation between physical education, sports management, and sustainable sports development; (2) physical education has a positive impact on sustainable sports development by improving the efficiency of sports management, and sports management plays a partial mediating effect between physical education and sustainable development; (3) establishing an indicator system that includes dimensions such as education quality, management efficiency, and sustainable development can more comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of physical education and management practices. Finally, this study proposes countermeasures to promote the coordinated development of sports education and management and establish a long-term mechanism for sustainable sports development, with a view to providing decision-making reference for promoting the high-quality development of China's sports industry in the new era.
