Abstract: Community-based sports and health governance that promotes high-quality population development represents a crucial pathway in advancing the Chinese way to modernization.Both domestic and international practices in community sports and health governance are driven by the need to comprehensively enhance population quality,emphasizing multi-stakeholder participation and collaboration.These efforts have given rise to three major governance models: government-led,self-governance,and hybrid models,all aimed at addressing the "last-mile" challenge in health governance.In China,community sports and health governance involves the development of a sports and health value chain,the construction of a systematic governance framework,and the innovation of collaborative mechanisms at the community level.Establishing a robust sports and health value chain requires a strong foundation in population quality,supported by resource integration and nested governance strategies.This should be complemented by the promotion of proactive health concepts and the implementation of sports and health policies,with the goal of encouraging widespread engagement in sports and healthy behaviors among community residents.On the basis of clarifying the value of sports and health,the construction of an effective community sports and health governance system must fully consider the relational dynamics among subjects,objects,activities,and the environment within the community context.It is essential to foster positive interactions among these four elements,aiming to achieve coordinated action among stakeholders,full mobilization of target populations,effective implementation of activities,and an enabling environment that provides sufficient support.To realize the fundamental objective of enhancing population quality and building community sports and health models with Chinese characteristics,it is necessary to make innovation in collaborative governance mechanisms involving multiple stakeholders,intergenerational coordination mechanisms focusing on both the elderly and children,sport-event-driven mechanisms,and resident self-governance mechanisms.
