Abstract: As a focus of today's culture, the body not only shapes human life style and spiritual attitude, but also has a close relationship with power. The body aesthetic cognition is the key for women to resist the male-dominated social ideology. The cultivation of stronger body aesthetic awareness and ability is conducive to the liberation of enslaved women, and women can thereby obtain the same equal rights and freedom as men. Taking leisure sports as the core entry point, this paper pointed out the importance of leisure sports for women's body aesthetics. The paper also discussed the return of feminism and body aesthetics in leisure sports from the perspective of the fusion of female representational body aesthetics and experiential body aesthetics. From the three dimensions of female body,this paper explored the influence of leisure sports in reshaping female body aesthetics and helping women to form new body aesthetic intention and self-knowledge.By cultivating women's correct body aesthetic consciousness and improving women's body aesthetic ability, leisure sports can help women obtain power and free them from the oppressive patriarchal and sexual worship culture.
