Abstract
Since the 1980s, China has been developing outdoor sports, which have become increasingly popular and widespread, attracting a growing number of college students. In the western region, outdoor sports among college students are still in the early stages of development. A lack of understanding of outdoor sports among students, coupled with insufficient teaching staff and inadequate hardware facilities, are constraining the development of outdoor sports in universities in this region. This paper proposes that to enhance the development of outdoor sports in the western region, universities should increase the number of outdoor sports courses, strengthen the training of teaching staff, and improve team and facility construction.
