The article deals with issues of national management in the sphere of physical education and sports (PES), on the example of the USA and China — the leaders in sports achievements in the last decade. Mainly unique, dissimilar and at the same time effective systems of PES management in these countries are relevant as an object of a study in order to master successful management experience. The aim of the study is to identify the features of PES management experience on the example of the USA and China. The main research method is a substantive analysis of scientific works, regulatory documentation and factual material (content analysis of media publications) on the article’s topic. The article defines the national PES management models in the USA and China, both in terms of management methods content and power centralization level. Features of the PES sphere organization are outlined, taking into account its division into mass sports, high-performance sports and professional sports. Systems of sportsmen multi-stage training in both countries are presented, starting from the school-student stage and up to Olympic reserve creation. Management of high-performance sports, including the national Olympic ommitees’ work, is under a special attention because of their importance for both the USA and China fighting for leadership in the world sports. Some issues such as coordination efforts of different organizations and levels of management, financing of PES, development of mass sports and other PES aspects, reflecting the both countries specifics, are also touched upon. The study notes that the most important factor determining the PES policy features is the level of management centralization. At the same time, despite the identified differences in the PES management systems of the USA and China, both systems have some similar features that promote great sports achievement in both countries.
