With the rapid development of the central and western regions of Shanxi province, Taiyuan has attracted a lot of migrant workers of the new generation. They have a promising future in Taiyuan and they have made great contributions to the development of Taiyuan. However, the pre-survey results show that the situation of physical exercise of these people is not quite well. In the long run, it is not helpful to build a spiritual and cultural life of these people. Therefore, it is necessary to know their physical exercise situations and the constraints so as to take appropriate measures to safeguard people’s rights of participating in physical exercises, to enrich their cultural life and to improve their health.In this study,400migrant workers in Taiyuan are involved in the survey.
