The continuous development of modern society, economy and culture promotes the constant innovation, development and progress of sports cause. However, the advanced sports practice contrasts with the lagging theoretical construction of sports discipline intensively. As art, the neighboring discipline to sports science, has been upgraded as an independent subject, physical educators have become uneasy, anxious and depressed. Therefore, it has become the deep concern and key problem for the physical educators on how to stand in the height of the global vision, jump out of the view of sports science, seek the development of sports discipline, the law of development and specific path, strive for an early leave from pedagogy to be an independent discipline and become mature.It has been nearly90years since the breeding of Chinese sports discipline in the1920s till today, the development of the subject is still immature. This thesis applies such research techniques as method of documentary, expert interviewing method, historical approach and logical analysis to conduct research on the historical division of our Chinese sports discipline development and seek to find out the developmental features in different stages, on the basis of which some suggestions on promoting the development of sports discipline are to be put forward, aiming to grasp comprehensively the historical development of sports discipline in our country and promote its rapid development. The main research conclusions are as follows:1. According to the research objects, research methods and the theory system (theoretical level) of sports discipline and whether there is a representative personage, works and academic organizations, academic journals (practical level), the development process of Chinese sports discipline can be divided into four stages, namely, the incubation period (from1920s to1949), the preliminary forming period (1950-1978), the growth period (1979-1991) and the rapid development period (from1992till now).2. Chinese sports discipline presents different characteristics in different t stages:(1) During the incubation period, sports discipline system is mainly American, there exists severe "cups and medals mania" and "player sports" phenomenon; Theoretically, sports discipline gives clear illustration to some basic problems such as sports essence, purpose and contents etc. Besides, some monographs are published; physical education departments are set up to train PE teachers professionally.(2) In the preliminary forming period, the general profession catalog of institutions of higher learning is published, which acts as a guiding document for profession setting and adjustment. Sports academic organizations are gradually established. Sports newspapers and periodicals begin to set up and publish.

A lot of sports academic monographs are published, promoting the rapid development of sports discipline.In order to promote the healthy and rapid development of sports discipline, this thesis puts forward some suggestions to strengthen sports basic theory research to perfect the construction of sports discipline system; to realize the key points breakthroughs in the construction of sports discipline by sticking to the principle of preferring to certain areas; to foster new discipline growing point to strengthen the construction of sports science; to reinforce the construction of sports academic team, academic organizations and academic periodicals to bring up a new generation of academic leaders of sports discipline; to boost system and mechanism innovation to build institutional guarantee system.
