全國大專校院運動會的發展、舉辦以及其教育功能向來是國家教育的重點發展，而我國大專選手在全大運或世大運的比賽皆有傑出的表現，全大運舉辦的過程中，不僅投資少、效益高，且對中小學運動會有領導作用，對社會各級運動會更有示範的作用，意義至為重大，故全大運之演變引起了筆者的研究動機。研究方法為歷史研究法為主、輔以結構式訪談法，研究的範圍為1969-2014年。本研究目的：一、探討全國大專校院運動會的舉辦目的。二、探討全國大專校院運動會的舉辦方式。三、探討全國大專校院運動會的競賽種類（項目）。四、探討全國大專校院運動會參加單位與人員的演變。本研究結論如下：（一）1969-1984年舉辦的目的：大專院校運動會為每年一度之盛大體育競賽活動，亦為各校平日推行體育教學成績之總測驗，各校運動選手齊聚一堂，藉此觀摩技術、鍛鍊身心，進而聯絡情感、發揮團隊精神。1985-2014年舉辦全國大專校院運動會的目的，係為提升我國大專校院競技運動風氣，增進運動技術水準，發掘優秀運動選手。（二）1969年因為大專校院與參加人數逐年增加，「臺灣省中上運動會」承辦縣市不勝負荷已無法兼容辦理，教育部召集大專體育總會籌劃大專運動會，單獨舉辦中華民國大專校院運動會，劃分權責由教育部主辦。1998年當時臺灣整體政治、經濟、社會因內外因素的影響此使全大運舉辦經費儘量以運動行銷、企業贊助與社會資源的方向為主，商業化取向成為全大運主辦的最大特色。（三）1969年起全大運脫離中上運動會獨立舉辦仍以田徑、游泳、體操三種為核心，外加球類、技擊等運動項目，1985年首度增加6項球類比賽，至2014年比賽項目也朝向亞奧運比賽項目來規劃，並且針對我國國人較有優勢之項目來發展，已有田徑、體操、游泳等12個項目。（四）1969年參加校數80所，參加人數1407人，1985年因增加六項球類比賽，比賽人數增至6909人，1973年10月31日，教育部成立體育司，1982年《國民體育法》修正公布，教育部在體育司之外恢復設置「國民體育委員會」。1997年7月16日，行政院體育委員會正式成立，全國體育事務有了中央專責單位，也對參加單位與人員有深遠的影響力，科技所帶來的進步包含比賽場地革新、計時器、個人裝備與訓練科學化等，屢屢反映在選手的成績上，邁向國際化與精緻化的目標，到了2004年因廣設大學達到高峰，故參賽人數也首次突破萬人，而2014年參賽的大專校院為164所，9502人。
