With implementation of the outline of the nationwide body-building plan and formulation of sports health curriculum in universities, university sports education has been gradually transited from the single function of strengthening students’ physical quality to the direction of diversification development of body-building, sports entertainment, social intercourse, lifelong sports and so on. Leisure sports have become a new tide in sports development in a global scope with its characteristics of sociality, lifelong and living and are the necessary direction of human social development and civilization progress. Formation of university students’ habit of “leisure sports” during the period of university learning is an important means to carry out lifelong sports and participation of university students in leisure sports plays an important role in cultivating university students’ consciousness of lifelong engagement in sports. Therefore, introduction of leisure sports into sports education in universities seems quite necessary.
