Based on combined methods of literature review, interviews and sociological attribution analysis, this paper analyzes the dynamics of how American young people make decisions about sport participation/termination, in the hope of helping find inspiration to improve the current situation of youth sport participation in China. The findings of this study highlight the importance of two dominant indispensable factors : internal ( which involves emotion, atti- tude, abilities, etc. } and external { which involves social context, family environment and background1 sport environment1 etc. } , to the youth sport participation/termination behavior.
