Abstract: Under the urban-rural dualism,the peasants’ sports right is faced with such dilemmas as lack of sports consciousness,restriction of economic capacity,limited time,shortage of sports fields and instruments,and insufficient professional guidance.Viewing from the legal perspective,it is because that the concept of nationwide fitness has not become the guiding ideology of sports legislation on the one hand;on the other hand,the sports law is essentially the law of sports management,giving no state obligation to protect peasants’ sports right.To change this situation,the state sports orientation should be turned to people’s livelihood sports,and at the meantime,management patterns should be reformed so as to develop a service idea.Since it is the state obligation to protect and realize peasants’ sports right,the state should carry it out according to the three levels of respecting,protecting,and realizing the peasants’ sports right.

Key words: peasants, sports right, legal protection, state obligation
