目的:臺灣羽球運動已被視為奧運奪牌的重要運動項目,至今雖已有諸多羽球運動的相關研究發表,但卻鮮少針對羽球運動的相關學術期刊論文進行分析與梳理。故本研究旨在探討羽球2006年實施新賽制後,臺灣羽球運動之相關學術期刊論文發表的現況,瞭解其研究脈絡,進而提出具體建議。方法:由體育運動專家學者從2017年「臺灣人文及社會科學期刊評比暨核心期刊收錄」之教育領域核心期刊中評選出23個運動與體育領域學術期刊為搜尋對象,共搜尋123篇羽球運動相關之學術期刊論文(2006年至2018年),分析每年論文發表量、研究類型、研究方法、分析對象與研究議題等五個部分。結果:臺灣羽球相關學術期刊論文每年平均發表篇數為9.46,且以原創性論文為主。研究方法以量化(實驗設計)研究法為主,分析對象以同時探究男性和女性,及以大專運動員為最多。此外,在研究議題部分,以技戰術分析和專項技能測驗為主要探討方向。結論:本研究結果反映出研究議題的發展與運動項目的特性息息相關,並釐清臺灣羽球運動的學術研究脈絡和發展現況。據此研究結果,本研究提出具體建議與未來研究方向。
Purpose: In Taiwan, badminton is widely considered to be a potential medal-winning sport in the Olympics. Although plenty of studies on badminton have been published, a well-organized overview and rounded analysis of all the existing studies remains lacking. The present study investigated the publication trends of academic journal articles on badminton in Taiwan after 2006, the year in which a new badminton game rule was implemented, to understand their research context as well as offer concrete suggestions on future research. Methods: The subjects of this study are determined based on 23 sports journals in 2017 Academic Journal Category of Humanities and Social Science of Taiwan in the education area that are recommended by experts in sports and physical education. A total of 123 academic articles on badminton were published in these journals between 2006 and 2018. The total amount of published articles, the category of the research, the adopted research methodology, subjects of analysis, and research topics are investigated. Results: On average, 9.46 academic journal articles on badminton were published in Taiwan each year, most among which were original study. A quantitative research method (via experimental design) was employed in the majority of these studies. Regarding subject of analysis, most of the papers discussed both men and women, with the participants being mainly college athletes. Concerning research topics, technique/strategy analyses and conduction of specific skills tests are the primary focus. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the development of research topics was closely related to the characteristics specific to the sport in consideration. Additionally, the results clarified the academic context and current development of badminton research in Taiwan and, meanwhile, suggested several directions for future research.
