目的：探討太極拳推手運動之體能特性，探討其體能相關特徵、篩選測驗代表項目，編製預測其體能之迴歸方程式。方法：優秀男子太極拳推手選手14人，年齡21.21±1.12歲，身高173.04±3.80公分，體重73.43±10.53公斤，同意接受15項體能測驗，採Pearson相關係數及逐步迴歸分析法，以所得資料分析體能相關性、測驗代表項目，與體能方程式之編製（α=.05）。結果：各測驗項目與15項體能T分數總和之相關性，脊柱向右轉動、舉肩、四百公尺等3項達p＜.05，伏地挺身、單槓正握引體向上、屈膝仰臥起坐、蹲後跳、立定三次跳、前曲伸展等6項達p＜.01的顯著水準；單槓正握引體向上（A[feb2]）、伏地挺身（A[feb5]）、脊柱向右轉動（C[feb2]）、舉肩（C[8fa3]）等4項，則能夠有效預測9項體能T分數總和，其複相關值之顯著水準除舉肩達p＜.05，其餘皆達p＜.01。結論：1.肌力、舜發力、柔軟度、耐力與太極拳推手運動應具有相關顯著性；單槓正握引體向上、伏地挺身、脊柱向右轉動、舉肩等4項為太極拳推手選手體能測驗代表性項目。2.所得方程式為：□=103.00+2.86 A[feb2]+1.90 A[feb5]+1.29 C[feb2]+0.87C[8fa3]。

Purposes: To probe for physical fitness characteristic with Tai-Chi-Chuan Push Hand athletes, and to investigate that correlation and representative with its physical fitness items, and a multiple regression equation to predict Tai-Chi-Chuan Push Hand athletes’s physical fitness. Methods: A total of 14 elite men Tai-Chi-Chuan Push Hand athletes agreed to serve as subjects, mean age was 21.21±1.12 years, mean body height was 173.04±3.80 cm, mean body weight was 73.43±10.53 kg, all subjects completed 15 items of physical fitness tests. All data were processed by the Pearson product-moment correlation, stepwise regression analysis, to find that correlation of physical fitness, best forecast item, and regression equation. The significance level was set as α=.05. Results: The correlation from total T Scores with each 15 items T scores, lateral mobility to right, shoulder elevation, 400 Meters run were p<.05; push-ups, pull-ups, bent-knee sit-ups, squat thrust, standing triple jump, sit and reach were p<.01. The multiple correlation of total 9 items T scores to effectively predict physical fitness were 4 items reached the pull-ups (A[feb2]), push-ups (A[feb5]), lateral mobility to right (C[feb2]), shoulder elevation (C[8fa3]), shoulder elevation was p<.05, the others were p<.01. Conclusions: 1. There are 4kinds of Physical fitness that Muscular strength, power, flexibility, and endurance, correlating with Tai-Chi-Chuan Push Hand combat contest item; There are 4 kinds of physical fitness testing items that pull-ups, push-ups, lateral mobility to right, shoulder elevation, are the physical fitness test items with Tai-Chi-Chuan Push Hand athletes. 2. The regression equation was as follow: □=103.00+2.86 A[feb2]+1.90 A[feb5]+1.29 C[feb2]+0.87 C[8fa3].
