      Output of high-tech fitness facilities surges in China amid rising enthusiasm towards sports

      With an upsurge of keeping fit under China's national strategy of Fitness-for-All, a wide spectrum of cutting-edge gym equipment has been put into the market to help satisfy personal fitness needs around the country.

      With the continuous expansion and upgrading of sports fields and school sports facilities all around China, demand for synthetic turf is expanding year by year. In a workshop that manufactures artificial turf in Laoling City in China's eastern province of Shandong, the production line, with an annual output of 20 million square meters, is working at full throttle to meet the orders.

      The brand-new artificial grass is 100 percent recyclable and can be customized with a variety of patterns thanks to fully automated intelligent equipment.

      "Both production and sales are booming, with the amount up more than 30 percent over last year. And the production schedule of our orders has been extended to September," said Bian Xiaonan, president of a sports industry group in Shandong Province.

      Meanwhile, fitness is meeting modern entertainment technology at a sports equipment company in Dongguan City of south China's Guangdong Province. The company produces more than 50 types of equipment, from an intelligent voice-powered skipping rope to a smart push-up board.

      "The more people jump, the better they feel. It can inspire people to exercise scientifically," said He Xin, a rope-skipping enthusiast.

      Another sporting goods laboratory in Dongguan has independent property rights for a spring trampoline that is becoming popular among companies around the world seeking to keep their workforce in shape.

      "This batch of trampolines will be exported to Italy. And now we are negotiating over reordering," said Jia Xueping, head of a sports goods company in Guangdong Province.

      Eager to support China's booming sports industry, colleges in Dongguan City are also summoning their strengths to expand industry-university research cooperation.

      Through one such partnership, a new type of ultra-light helmet has been officially delivered to the country's national bobsleigh team.

      "The weight reduction realized by this helmet is equivalent to a bottle and a half of mineral water. In addition to the light weight, impact resistance is also realized," said Li Nan, an associate professor at Dongguan University of Technology.
