他山之石可以攻錯：美國國家人體運動學院簡述

Using other mountains' stones to address one's own shortcomings: An introduction of the National Academy of Kinesiology

體育運動學術研究近年於我國快速發展，成為重點研究領域之一，而學術組織如中華民國體育學會等居中扮演重要角色，然所謂他山之石可以攻錯，我們可藉國際頂尖之體育運動學術組織作為持續精進之學習對象。美國國家人體運動學院(National Academy of Kinesiology, NAK)作為美國體育運動學科領域之首創與代表性學術組織，自1930年成立以來於推動體育運動學科發展發揮重要作用。具體而言，NAK通過年度會議、官方期刊及國際交流等多元化活動，為體育運動學科提供學術交流平台。此外，其建立之博士班評鑑系統包含教師與學生兩大指標，涵蓋學術生產力、研究資金、學術影響力等多面向，可為國際間體育運動相關課程之評估提供重要參考。希冀藉本文之介紹，增進學者與社會大眾對NAK之瞭解，更為我國體育運動領域之發展提供借鑒。

In recent years, academic research in“physical education and sports”has rapidly developed in our country, becoming one of the key areas of study. Academic organizations, such as the National Society of Physical Education of the Republic of China, play a crucial role in this advancement. The notion that“other mountains’stones can be used to attack one’s own shortcomings”suggests that we can continuously improve by learning from leading international academic organizations in the field of physical education and sports. The National Academy of Kinesiology (NAK), established in 1930, has been a pioneering and representative academic organization in the field of physical education, sport, and exercise in the United States, significantly contributing to the discipline’s development. Specifically, NAK provides a platform for academic exchange through diverse activities, including annual meetings, official journals, and international collaborations. Moreover, its established doctoral program evaluation system includes two primary indicators, faculty and student metrics, covering various aspects such as academic productivity, research funding, and scholarly impact, which can serve as important references for evaluating related programs internationally. It is hoped that this introduction would enhance scholars’and the public’s understanding of NAK and provide valuable insights for the development of the field in our country.
