This paper reviewed and examined the context of weightlifting in academic research of Taiwan. The data source is from two Chinese periodical databases in Taiwan and gathers 44 articles. The method we used in this study is called "content analysis" to analysis the variety of distributions of years, journals, authors, as well as the subject categories. The results indicate that the trend of publication seems to decrease after the high peak in 2001. The outlet of articles only published in few sport fields and the thesis concentrated on, such as sport biomechanics, sport physiology and sport management. We suggest the prospect of weightlifting research in Taiwan need more scholars' conduct in this field and journals should encourage publishing those of better articles. The study will not only shed light on the contribution both of academic and practice, but promotion and deployment of weightlifting in future.
