论国际田联关于“田径运动”的定义

Study on the Definition of Athletics by IAAF

目前,国内外关于“田径运动”概念的定义比较混乱,这一现象必然干扰人们的认识,从而影响田径运动的发展。一个严密和准确的定义,除了具体的科学知识外,必须满足逻辑学关于定义的规则要求。鉴于田径运动的特点和人们的认识程度,对于“田径运动”应采用“外延定义”的形式。国际田联的“田径定义”不仅符合逻辑学的要求,同时也揭示了田径运动与其它体育运动项目的区别性特征,因此,它是迄今相对准确和完整的关于“田径运动”的定义,进而倡议统一采用这一定义。

There are many definitions of the athletics domestic, this will confuse the understanding to the athletics and impair its development. An accurate definition, not only has the specific knowledge but also follow the rule of logic. “Extension definition” is a better way to define the athletics. IAAF＇s “definition of athletics” meets the requirements of logic, and indicates the essential distinction between the athletics and other sport events. So it is a more complete and accurate definition of the athletics at present. The writer suggests to use the IAAF＇s definition as the official definition of athletics.
