Middle Path of the Strategies for Women's Health Promotion Through SportThe Action and Reflections on "Parent-child Sports"

In response to the practical problems faced by women in the process of physical exercise participation, the "parent-child sports" action is adopted. It aims to eliminate the structural obstacles within families faced by married and child-bearing women in sports participation in order to achieve the goal of health promotion. After the detailed recording, reflections and adjustments of the fitness process of female participants from the micro and practical levels, it is found that the "parent-child sports" mode could effectively promote women's sports participation under the existing social conditions and gendered order. It could not only ease the contradiction between women's needs for self-development and the duties given by family role, converting the structural constraints within families into structural support, but change women's cognition of sports and promote the intergenerational transmission of healthy behaviors. Although the "parent-child sports" participation can not fundamentally change the social role of women, nor can it completely remove the barriers for women's participation in sports, it is still an effective way to promote women's health under the existing social and cultural system.
