XiamenMay 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In May 2026, China’s first systematic research report themed “Scientific Exercise,” titled the *Scientific Exercise Development Report (2010–2024)*, was officially released in Xiamen. The report was planned by the China Sport Science Society, co-authored by Shuhua Sports and Shanghai University of Sport, with participation from People’s Sports Publishing House. It represents a high-quality, high-level research report collaboratively produced by academia and industry.
As a leading scientific exercise service provider in China, Shuhua Sports not only participated in compiling the report but also fully integrated the scientific concepts from the report into product development, scenario implementation, and service systems, becoming a key promoter and beneficiary of translating scientific exercise theory into practice.
Authoritative Experts Interpret: Shifting from “More Exercise” to “Scientific and Sustained Exercise”
Lin Shuaitian, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Sport Science Society, noted in his address that over the past decade, guided by the national strategy for全民健身 (national fitness) and the top-level design of Healthy China, scientific exercise has achieved a historic leap. The report released today, “rooted in China’s context and supported by scientific data and empirical evidence,” systematically presents the vigorous development of scientific exercise over the past ten years and its historical contributions to enhancing national physical fitness and health literacy. Lin Shuaitian stated that thanks to Shuhua’s sustained investment and full support in the industrialization and standardization of scientific exercise, this report has truly achieved deep integration between academia and industry.
2026 is a year of deepening the implementation of the “Healthy China 2030” Planning Outline, and also the starting year for implementing the “15th Five-Year Plan” and accelerating the construction of a Healthy China. Facing the wave of digital intelligence, scientific exercise will continue to play a strategic, foundational, and critical role in promoting national health.

Professor Zheng Jiakun from Shanghai University of Sport emphasized during the report interpretation that this book is not an ordinary “fitness guide,” but a scientific exercise development report oriented toward national strategy, industrial practice, and comprehensive health. The core of scientific exercise is shifting from “more exercise” to “scientific exercise and sustained health.” The report systematically reviews the development background, achievements, issues, and trends from 2014 to 2024, presenting practical support over the decade from five dimensions: new concepts, new technologies, new solutions, new products, and new scenarios.
He pointed out that scientific exercise is first and foremost a conceptual update, helping the public move from “following along” to “knowing why to exercise, how to exercise, and how to sustain it,” thereby transitioning from “passive exercise” to “active health.” Zheng Jiakun specifically mentioned that cases such as the Shishi Smart Sports Park, the Sports Health Promotion Center, and the industry’s first exercise prescription treadmill i5, developed by Shuhua Sports, provide solid empirical support for the report.

While acknowledging the achievements of the past decade, the report also points out that scientific exercise still faces challenges such as insufficient and uneven development, with unscientific exercise phenomena still persisting. Looking ahead, scientific exercise will accelerate its shift from “experience-based services” to “data-driven, intelligent collaboration, and full lifecycle management,” potentially becoming a key force driving innovation in the health industry and social governance.
Shuhua Practice: Implementing the Scientific Exercise Concept Across the Full Chain
As a co-author and practitioner of the report, Shuhua Sports focuses on “high-quality health technology products,” actively practicing the scientific exercise concept, and collaborating with the China Sport Science Society to create a new scenario model for the “Sports Health Promotion Center.” This model deeply integrates the active health concept with AI technology and scientific exercise solutions, providing replicable and scalable new ideas and directions for advancing national health development.
In terms of scenario implementation, Shuhua Sports’ first AI gym in China was fully upgraded and unveiled at the 2026 China International Sporting Goods Fair.
From standard-setting to product implementation, and from technological breakthroughs to scenario applications, Shuhua Sports has led or participated in the development of nearly 50 national and industry standards, continuously promoting deep integration of industry, academia, and research. With solid technical accumulation and market layout, Shuhua Sports has been recognized with five market position statements: “Sold in 110+ Countries and Regions,” “No.1 in National High-End Home Treadmill Sales,” “No.1 in National Outdoor Fitness Equipment Sales,” “6 out of 10 Double First-Class Universities Use Shuhua,” and “Pioneer of AI Exercise Prescription Treadmills,” further confirming its industry leadership in the field of scientific fitness.
