Promotion of Sports

Law and Plan

Sport is a universally shared human culture. 
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology （MEXT）is striving to promote sport through increasing sport opportunities for children, promoting sport activities in line with the life stages, improving community sport environments, and enhancing international competitiveness of athletes.
In March 2012, the MEXT formulated the Sport Basic Plan pursuant to the Basic Act on Sport enacted in June 2011.

Policy

MEXT is working on fostering comprehensive community sports clubs where everyone from children to the aged can participate according to their interests and goals in order to achieve a lifelong sports society, in which anyone can practice sports at any time, anywhere, and at any stage of their lives. It is also working on measures to improve the physical fitness of children.
The great performances by Japan’s top-level athletes at international meets such as the Olympic Games give dreams and excitement to many people. MEXT works to enhance the performance of our top-level athletes through support such as equipping national training centers, supporting sports science, medical science, and relevant information, and assisting sport organizations.
