Abstract: The National Sports Science Conferences play a pivotal role in helping the sports science research in China in the past 60 years. The in-depth study on its historical achievements can guide the conference's development at a higher level. The sports science research in China has undergone five stages of issues, that is, "introducing foreign concepts, attaching importance to natural research"−"integrating humanistic concepts, moving toward comprehensive development"−"sports serving the practice, innovation driving the development"−"science-technology assisting the Olympic Games, advocating national fitness"−"science and technology empowering sports, building a sports power". The field of sports science research has been continuously expanded, its content increasingly enriched, its methods more comprehensive, its topics focused on, and its results serving the needs of society. Looking ahead to the future, the National Sports Science Conferences should clarify its conference development positioning, strengthen the organizational construction of the congress, enrich its content and form, improve its external connection, attach importance to the research innovation and deepen the international exchange, so that it will better help our sports science research with high quality.
