- Abstract
Using documents, logical analysis, and changes in female social status, social roles and rights as the basis, this study divides the history of the impact of the view of female body after World War II on female sports into two phases for studying. Research shows that the development of the view of the female body can be influenced by cognitive level, social changes, cultural changes and other factors. With the development of history, the dominating view of female body shows a gradual trend from biological body view to social body view, and then to aesthetic body view. Under the influence of this trend, the number of women participating in sports increases from the minority to the majority; from few participation in sports to the participation in almost all projects, and female events are specially set according to the characteristics of the women themselves; from no women among the leaders of decision-making to increasing proportion of women. Female sports are developing from the number of women participating in sports, participation in sporting events and participation in the leadership of sports decision-making. In this development process, it not only reflects the influence of the female body view on it, but also conflicts continuously with the view of female body, thus promoting the view of female body to move toward the direction of female liberation.
