Literature access methods, questionnaire method, interview method, mathematical statistics method, field trip method and other methods were used to study the sports participation of 280 urban community elderly over 60 years old in Nanchang, Jiujiang and Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, and based on the full necessity, objective regularity and subjective initiative of sports participation of the elderly in urban community, and fully exploring the value connotation of sports participation of the elderly in urban community, this paper analyzes the characteristics of sports investment level and quality of life of the elderly in urban community. So we considered that the main factors affecting the sports participation of the elderly in urban communities are reflected in: insufficient attention to the sports of the elderly in urban communities, the imbalance between the supply and demand of sports resources in urban communities, the lack of social sports professionals in urban communities, the unclear rights and responsibilities of urban community sports governance, and the insufficient participation of social forces in urban community sports.
