When human society strides forward to the 21st century.health becomes a question of common concern around the world.But the universal life-span of Miao people in XiangXi is obviously shorter than that of Han's living in the same area.it is shorter than that of national average level as well.This shows there are some factors in Miao's life affecting their physiological and psychological health.By the ways of analysing documents and materials, investigating and visiting.having questionaire and making mathematical statistics and logic analysis.and on the basis of analysing the investigation materials of 870 (all of whom are over 18 years' old)Miao and Han rural residents' livelihood in 3 counties where mainly people of Miao nationality live in compact,this paper studies briefly the rural residents ' surroundings, economic income.mode of consumption,mode of production,social culture and sports activitiesjanalysies the factors affecting their health; reveals their folkcustoms which are good to their health; and provides theoretical and scientific basis to improve their health and living conditions of that area.The study shows.it can't be optimistic about the physical condition of XiangXi Miao nationality.it is not caused by a sigle reason but affected by all factors of their environment,economic situation,habits and customs, and knowledge of and participation in sports activities. The rural residents of XiangXi Miao are backward in economy and low in productive forces.The broad mass of Miao are still struggling strenuously to get adquate food and clothing.therefore.it is impossible to develop widespread sports activities in this area.On the other hand.the traditional culture has a concealed and profound influence on their view of child-bearing,and it can't be abolished in a single day,and the problems of numerous population and bad medical and hygienic conditions can't be solved and improved timely.All these factors restrict Miao's state of health.Therefore.the main ways of improving their health conditions are enriching their cultlual life,strengthening their spiritual civilization.improving their diet and nutrition, getting rid of their bad living habits and leading a regular life.Because the Miao of this area have a different mode of production, surrounding, world outlook and life outlook, their physical activities are mainly visiting friends and relatives, diversion and entertainment, and participating in competitions. And what they mainly undertake in their leisure time is housework, it is 66. 7% of all their activities.So the prerequistite of developing mass sports activities for them is toextricate them from housework. The plan of sports activities for the entire people of our country has been carried out for 5 years, but still 63% of Miao farmers have never heard of it. This shows the publicity of the activity has not been strong enough.As a result, this paper puts forward some suggestions for reference as combinating developing cultural and educational work with improving Miao's cultural level; combinating strengthening publicity of the legal system with improving the medical and hygienic conditions and integrating training social P. E instructors for Miao region with strengthening sports activities for the entire people in this area.
