隨著我國學校休閒體育及競技運動的快速發展，校園發生運動傷害的比率也大幅的提高，運動傷害防護室已然成為學校師生與運動員在從事運動訓練、休閒體育活動與競賽時，傷害預防與及處理的重要平台。然而，國內對於運動傷害防護室的設置、規劃及管理尚處於起步階段，對運動傷害防護室所應配備的基本器材、人員配置、運作動線及安全措施等皆無明確的設置規範與標準。有鑑於此，本研究透過個案考察、分析及比較的方式，以美國十所大學優良的運動傷害防護室為對象，經收集、分析、彙整相關資料，以了解美國大學運動傷害防護室的設備現況標準，比較各校之間的差異及特性、可用空間、各運動設施方位、消防安全及未來服務量及運作動線等，據以提出運動傷害防護室設建置標準，供我國學校設置發展運動傷害防護室之參考。研究結果發現，美國大學運動傷害防護室在地點的決定上，以使用的便利性為首要考量，同時，以「集中法」及「衛星法」做為設施設置的模式；在空間規劃上，診療區、水療區、貼紮區、復健區為運動傷害防護室的主體，辦公室、記錄區及醫師診斷室等則列為輔助性空間。在防護器材的佈置上，多依照功能特性或儀器的屬性設置，空間與經費較不充裕的學校，運動傷害防護室則採取不同運動季節調整不同的服務項目及轉換防護設備作為因應。衡量各項因素，建議我國大學採用集中及精簡的模式規劃運動傷害防護室，並採多元化的功能設計，如：運動傷害防護教學、實習、訓練服務等。

The athletic training facility on campus has become an important mechanism for preventing participants from injuries or when they are injured the proper rehabilitations are taken. However, the concept of establishing, planning, and managing athletic training facility in Taiwan is still in its early stages and lacks of clear guidelines and standard. Given the important role that athletic training facility plays in sports, the purpose of this study is to investigate the conditions of athletic training facilities in universities and colleges in the United States and to compare their similarities and differences. The results of this study may offer the valuable guidelines for the planning and establishment of its own athletic training room and facility in Taiwan. In this study, ten universities in the United States were selected and investigated. Information regarding each university's athletic training facility is retrieved from the websites of the ten universities selected for the purposes of this study. The findings of this study reveal, firstly, the accessibility is the first consideration when deciding on the location of the athletic training room. In this regard, the design concepts of "centrality" and "satellite" are used to place the facility in an area of convenience. Secondly, in designing the room, the set up for diagnostic treatment, taping, and rehabilitating take their priorities, whereas for office, record keeping, and physician's consulting room are the second consideration depending on the needs and the availability of the space. Placement of equipment and machines are based mainly on their function and space. And lastly, schools with small spacing and less financial support allocated for the facility are likely to alter the service and equipment according to different sports seasons. This study provides a useful reference to be considered for other schools.
