Ethnic physical education in Inner Mongolia started from a low level at the beginning period of its development.After a period of recovery，adjustment，improvement，and reform，it has now been developing rapidly.At present，ethnic sports in higher education in Inner Mongolia has developed to a certain level，and ethnic sports projects have seen reform and development across the board.However，there are still problems to be solved.Ethnic physical education lacks distinct ethnic features，and its foundation is weak.Students are not trained to adapt to a variety of situations and teachers are not of high quality.Ethnic physical education is not widely popular and thus not well-known and appealing，and there is a lack of standardisation in ethnic sports.Therefore，it's necessary to provide more policy support for the development of ethnic physical education.
