Since the concept of Sport for All was born in the late 1960s, a half century has passed. Sport has become an important human culture which possesses a variety of values and roles in human life and society. The purpose of this study is to examine the international trends in the 21st century by trend analyses of international bodies and content analyses of international congresses on Sport for All. The content analyses of the international bodies on Sport for All in the world including IANOS, IOC Sport for All Commission, TAFISA, and ASFAA and international congresses on Sport for All are conducted by using such secondary data as programs, proceedings, articles, websites, and so on. Sport for All has been challenging the Olympic movement with emphasizing democratization of sport and traditional sport system.
