At present, China has gradually stepped into an aging society and the proportion of the aging population in total population has been increasing continuously. Improving the quality of life of elderly people is a common wish of the whole society. The author conducts surveys on the participation of sports of elderly people and their quality of life by means of questionnaire surveys and analyzes the internal relation between participation of sports and quality of life of elderly people by means of grey relational theory and relation analysis. The results indicate that taking an active part in sports plays an extremely important role in perspectives such as physical health, mental health, spiritual life and social activities etc for elderly people, which means that participating in sports is beneficial to improve quality of life of elderly people. Consequently, the study suggests that the elderly people should participate in sports more actively to improve their quality of life.
