As the aging times coming round the corner, the society is facing more and more serious problems on the industrialize and urbanization. Such social factors as the family structure, traditional opinion of value and social standard, etc, have changed progressively, as well. The urban aged is a kind of special social group. As becoming older, the aged have changed their roles in the society, both in their physical and in their mental. The problems with the ageing appear more and more obviously. That is, "nowadays the aged live longer than before, but they are not healthy enough." And even more, "the expenditure of the retirement pay has increased; the national financial burden has worsened; and the support coefficient has improved; the requirement of the insurance providing for the aged has got a raise; but the labor force has become less; the national accumulation has decreased, so as the quantity of the labor force. The contradictory of alternative from one generation to another generation has become striking; the quantity of consumers has increased. All of these will influence the development of social production capacity."As a part of the China aged, the urban Korean aged in Yanbian, has not only the common feature but also has the differences of their nationality living style and nationality mentality. Even since the reform, there are so many young persons going abroad, either working or doing business. Caused by this, the population in Yanbian failed in creasing. Also the proportion of the aged in Yanbian is much higher than the other parts of China. The phenomenon of the aged families appears. It is so-called " older before rich," or "the empty den". It will be a challenge to Yanbian society. In Yanbian Automatic Korean Prefecture, we stilllack perfect social welfare system, and have no complete social facilities and we still face the lower economic development. If we do the wrong way to deal with it, it will be of disadvantage to the social stabilize and development. As the means of improving life quality, physical training is associated with the ageing problems which have become very important social ones. Especially when facing the number of the aged growth, physical training not only can keep them healthy but also can provide a flat for them. At the same time, physical training can help the aged have the confidence and successful achievement. So taking physical training for the aged is an important way to improve their life quality and their health effectively. The experiences of the aged taking physical training, not only effect their healthy condition and their living quality but also have the reference function on the social problems related to the aged.According to the theory of demography and sociology, this thesis has made the practical authentic proof on the scope, speed and structure of the urban Korean aged in Yanbian. We got the problems which caused by the ageing. Then we put forward our aims and significance. And we have summarized the research on the present conditions of the aged taking part in physical training which had been made both at home and abroad. In order to accomplish this thesis we have used document research method, questionnaire research method and ( Terephy 特尔菲) method. The final data we got was input into the computer, then we processed the data with the regular mathematical statistics method. It shows that the proportion which the urban Korean aged taking physical training is 88%. Most of them can do their sports exercises for a long time and regularly. 91.3% of the aged likes doing sports in the morning. 49.9% of whom takes physical training three times a week. 64.2% of the aged spends more than 30 minutes doing sports exercises every time. Among those physical training items, walking, card-playing or Youkii and climbing are the first three ones. For the motivation of their taking physical training, the first three ones are: for their health: 61.8%; for recovery from their illness and health care: 51.2%; for their happiness feeling: 26.6%. But healthy condition, no proper places to do their sports and no interest are the main obstruction factors that influence them to take physical training. The other factors that influence the urban Korean aged taking physical training are: whether they have had the training history; their cognitive extent to the training and their living quality. Among those factors, their living quality is as well as the influence of taking physical training.
