The establishment of Athletic Training department has played a very important role in the promoting the athlete's learning, solving the after-retirement problem of the athletes, cultivating elite athletes and coaches. Meanwhile, we should realize that the particular way of recruitment and the further development of the reform of physical education these years have brought a plenty of challenges and opportunities for the Athletic Training department and Traditional Sport Department.Therefore, this thesis will try to provide some good ideas for the reform of the two majors through the investigation and analysis of the recruitment process of the training department as well as the study of the cultivating objectives, current developing status and their facing situation.This paper's study objects rely mainly on the six sport universities belonging to National Sport Administration, local sport universities and the two departments in some normal universities as well. This paper comes to the conclusion as follows through study and analysis by document, questionnaire, visiting, and statistics:1. The development of Athletic training department has experienced three stages: Establishment period, Developing period and Expanding period. Their students resource was expanded mainly from sport teams to common middle schools. Till 2004 the number of universities that have set up the two majors has reached to 63.

The proportion of Level one athletes resource was decreasing while the proportion of Level two athletes was increasing. The students from sport team were declining while students from common middle school were ascending. Therefore, the number of athletes entering the two majors who has experienced high-level training was constantly decreasing while the number of students who has not experienced high-level major training was increasing year by year.3. The present and retired athletes are much easier to be coaches, but being an excellent coach, they need to master the advanced scientific training knowledge beforehand. 4.The particular measures should be taken when recruiting present athlete or retried athletes.5. Currently the cultivating objectives of The Athletic training department is too narrow and mixed.
