Abstract: The development pattern of mass sports is the collection of methods, means and mode to achieve its development. The development pattern of China’s mass sport depends on the present situation and transformation of material, society and concepts. The core of the transformation is its sustainable development while the key lies in its humanness. The transformation consists of the transformation of the government’s functions from a material to a people-oriented one, the transformation of the citizens’ rights from a conceptional to a realistic people-oriented one and the transformation of the development benefits from partial to entire people-oriented one. The joint motivity system promotes the transformation of China’s mass sports development mode, which includes the basic motivity generated by the contradiction between demand and deficiency of China’s mass sports resources, the direct motivity from the reform of the development system, the essential and objective motivity from the renovation of the development mechanism and the principle motivity.

Key words: mass sport, development pattern, transformation, people-oriented, motivity
