Especially, with the issuing and the carrying out of the National Program for the People's Body-Building, the cultivation of SSIs and the performance of their functions in the people's body-building will become particularly important.The formal training and education of SSI in our country originated in the year of 1995.

After some interviews with those in charge of the management of SSIs in the Sports Bureaus of Shanxi Province and Taiyuan city, it is learned that there are also some problems with the SSIs of Taiyuan. In the light of these problems, this thesis, based on a sustainable development of social sports, makes an investigation into the current situation of the SSIs of Taiyuan urban districts with the methods of literature review, social investigation and statistics and the results show that: (1) There are totally 1884 SSIs of various levels in Taiyuan urban districts.

Those with high educational level (above the vocational education) account for 29.0% of the whole instructors investigated, and the remained 71.0% are those with middle or low education; (4) In the respect of vocation, professional sports practitioners are the most (35.7%), and then in a sequence are retirees (19.2%), teachers (18.9%), carders (16.8%), enterprise employees (8.0%) and the others (1.4%); (5) The instructing span mainly centers on two periods: below five years (48.2%) and from eleven to twenty years (24.7%); (6) The items instructed are in a decreasing sequence Taiji (55.7%), exercising and dancing (46.3%), Qigong (34.6%) and Ping Pang (12.9%), tennis (10.8%) and ball catch (8.1%); (7) For the SSIs of Taiyuan, the presence per week above seven times takes up 40.3% and the duration of instruction up to 90 minsaccounts for 50.0%; (8) The instructors are mainly engaged with their work in mornings (43.8%) and in afternoons or evenings (42.7%).
