Strategic Positioning, Constraints and Advancement Mechanism for Integrating Sport into Health Governance

The integration of sport into health governance is intended to achieve access to the ideas, institutions, personnel, technologies and services of sports health governance in the field of health governance by relying on the principle of holistic governance, through dialectical interplay of concepts, multi-type collaboration between sports and health systems, heterogeneous resource sharing, and dynamic technical bridging, with the aim of improving the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases, assisting emergency response to public health emergencies, optimize maternal and child health care, empower healthy aging, help environmental health improvement, and support healthy poverty governance and other desirable strategic positioning. However, due to the dilemma of the legitimacy of sports integration into health governance, weak intersectoral relationships, lack of talent pool, clarity of technical standards, and lagging institutional supply, there is an urgent need to develop a mechanism of impression (to establish the "symbol" of sports integration into health governance), mutual trust (to strengthen the collaborative governance relationship between sports and health sectors), preparatory mechanism (to build a talent team, to establish technical standards), operational mechanism (to establish relevant system for integration into governance), maintenance mechanism (set "incentive-supervision" approach to support sustainable-Supervision" approach to support sustainable governance) to break through the difficulties and move forward.
