Abstract: By literature material investigation and study,questionnaire survey,fieldwork,and mathematical statistics,this paper conducted an investigation on the current status of physical exercises in Western Hunan,and proposed the targeted strategy and suggestions.The result indicated that the residents who take part in physical exercises spontaneously all take some simple sports without demanding courts and with small expenditure,while the  other residents refuse to participate in sport  mainly owing to lack of leisure time and fatigue after hard work.Aiming to this situation,human resources,financial and material support should first be provided for each village,and such support should be strengthened step by step.

Key words: western Hunan, resident, physical education
