中國文化源遠流長,體育的發展可溯及先秦時期甚至原始時代,海峽兩岸在這方面 的研究是否有差異?是筆者欲探究的動機。透過文獻分析的方法,解明臺灣與大陸在「中國古 代體育史」研究主題的概況並比較其異同,是為本研究的目的。對本篇研究提出以下結語: 一、臺灣要加強體育刊物的彙整,以利學術的研究。 二、中國古代體育史研究的分類方式必須重新擬定。

　　　　　Chinese culture has a long history, so the development of physical education can trace back to the era before the Chin dynasty, even to the primeval ages. Is there any difference between two sides of the Taiwan Straits? This is what the writer wants to explore. The purpose of this study is to explain the general situation as well as compare the differences between Taiwan and Mainland China on their classifications of the history of physical education in ancient China through literature analysis. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1. For the benefit of making academic study, Taiwan society needs to strengthen its collection and edition of publications on physical education. 2. The classification about studying the history of physical education in ancient China needs to be redefined.
