臺灣體育運動科學發展現況與未來趨勢

Current status and future trend for the development of sport and exercise science in Taiwan

緒論：本文以1991年在英國雪菲爾舉辦之世界大學運動會(簡稱世大運)為例，從成本面和效益面探討舉辦運動賽會之影響。尤其是在賽會結束多年之後，雪菲爾的運動場館與設施，還是有許多長期使用的效益。這些效益包括到雪菲爾觀光旅遊民眾的經濟影響，另外，世大運的場館投資也強化了民眾對於體育運動和休閒活動的投入。其中包括了16,000位經常使用場館設施的運動參與者的主觀幸福感，世大運設施的活化利用也替當地民眾節省在健康保險的支出。1991年雪菲爾世大運的相關經驗與賽會影響，希望能提供2017年臺北世大運在媒體管理、規劃、政策領導和賽會投資等層面的參考。畢竟世大運舉辦的主要目的建立永續經營概念及強化賽會影響。
