Fitness is all the rage, in case you haven’t noticed. And China is intent on capitalising on the movement to bring further impetus to a national-fitness program aimed at creating a healthier populace, fit for satisfying the productivity demands of the latter 21st century.
健身现在很流行,如果你没有注意到的话。中国决心利用这一运动进一步推动全民健身计划,旨在培养更健康的民众,满足21世纪后半叶的生产力需求。
Nanjing is no exception. On 9 March was held a press conference to reveal plans for the continued implementation of fitness provision in Nanjing for 2023.
南京也不例外。 3月9日,南京市召开新闻发布会,公布2023年南京市继续实施全民健身计划。
The press conference was held to supposedly interpret the recently-issued “Implementation Opinions on Building a Higher Level Public Service System for Fitness for All” (关于构建更高水平的全民健身公共服务体系的实施意见).
此次新闻发布会的召开,是为了解读近日印发的《关于构建更高水平的全民健身公共服务体系的实施意见》。
Therein, it was revealed that Nanjing will this year rebuild five sports parks, and realise 100 kilometres of fitness trails, 15 public gyms and 40 sports grounds equipped with illumination for night-time use.
其中透露,南京今年将重建5个体育公园,实现100公里健身跑道、15个公共健身房和40个夜间照明运动场。
To put further numbers on that, by 2025, there shall be 4.2 square metres of sports venues per-capita area in Nanjing, and the proportion of people who regularly participate in physical exercise will reach 44 percent, as Jiangsu Now has reported.
据江苏快报报道,到2025年,南京市人均体育场地面积达到4.2平方米,经常参加体育锻炼的人口比例达到44%。
But how are we going to get to such public fitness levels?
但我们如何才能达到这样的公众健康水平呢?
The “Opinions” emphasise the building of a so-called, “10-minute community fitness circle”. That means new residential communities should come equipped with public-fitness facilities amounting to no less than 0.1 square metres of indoor, and 0.3 square meters of outdoor, per-capita land use devoted to fitness.
《意见》强调打造所谓“10分钟社区健身圈”。这意味着新建住宅小区应配备室内不少于0.1平方米、室外不少于0.3平方米的公共健身设施,人均健身用地面积应达到0.3平方米。
Away from residential communities, Nanjing shall utilise spaces nearby bodies of water and mountains, and combine them with resources such as parks, public open spaces and villages, to build a network of sports and fitness trails.
南京要利用远离居民区的临水、依山空间,与公园、公共空地、乡村等资源相结合,构建体育健身路径网络。
Su Ling, Director of the Detailed Planning Division of Nanjing Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, was quoted as saying that appropriate and convenient supporting services shall also be laid on.
南京市规划和自然资源局详细规划处处长苏凌表示,配套服务也要到位、便捷。
At present, Nanjing has three municipal sports centres; the Olympic Sports Centre, Wutai Shan and the Nanjing Youth Olympic Sports Park. These are fed from three sub-municipal sports centres; those in Jiangning, Lishui and Gaochun.
目前,南京市拥有市级体育中心3个;奥体中心、五台山、南京青奥体育公园。这些由三个市级体育中心提供;江宁、丽水、高淳。
