劉大任(1939-)是文壇健將，亦是台灣運動文學的開路先鋒。本研究採以質性分析，據其文學著作及其他相關文獻為證，探討劉大任的運動價值觀，而予以中立之評價。分析劉大任的運動價值觀有四點，分別為：運動員的根本定義在面對挑戰，運動員價值在於自我實現，運動要超越民族主義，以及運動是人生的寫照。而運動價值觀的實踐，則表現在個人運動精神的實踐、中國人的運動文化之批判，及運動文學創作（尤其是《強悍而美麗》一書）中，得以一窺究竟。總結以上，劉大任的運動價值觀及其實踐上，堪為「運動家」典範，其觀點雖未能全面，但對於傳統文學之突破，帶給運動文學創作者之影響甚鉅，而運動的價值觀點和實踐，則對於體育運動之人文貢獻良多，至此，吾人均予以高度之正面評價。
