摘要

肌力與體能訓練是運動員提升運動表現的必要手段，亦是一門專業領域，而肌力與體能教練則為主要執行者，其地位在競技運動的發展上舉足輕重。肌力與體能教練除了整合運動科學的理論與實務，以提供運動員安全有效的訓練計畫為主要職能外，還具有支援運動傷害防護員，與加強運動員心理建設等多重角色，更是多項行政業務的負責人，多元化的工作內容已是常態，不再只是單純的訓練職務，也促使學經歷、資格條件、工作負荷與時間、薪資結構的提升。由於我國此領域發展落後，多數運動訓練仍難擺脫土法煉鋼與非科學化的方式，更需要肌力與體能教練的介入以提升訓練環境與層次。本文統整國外肌力與體能教練的職能與架構，提供我國競技運動相關從業人員參考的觀念與方向。

Strength and conditioning is a necessary means for improvement in athletic performance. It is also a professional field. The strength and conditioning coach (SCC) plays a vital role in the development of competitive sports. For SCC's, a singular and definitive job focus no longer exists as multi-dimensional job responsibilities have become commonplace. In addition to the primary responsibility of integrating sports science theory and practice to provide athletes with a safe and effective training regimen, the SCC also functions to support the prevention of sports injuries, strengthen the psychological maturity of athletes and oversee multiple administrative matters. Thus, there is a higher demand in experience, qualifications, work load, work hours, as well as a corresponding increase in salaries. Due to the underdevelopment of this field in Taiwan, most training methods have become outdated which make the involvement of the SCC critical to improving the training level and environment. This paper summarizes the SCC's job responsibilities and structures in other countries to provide a reference and direction for our country's competitive sports practitioners.
