民族传统体育推广与发展分析研究——台湾一种健身舞的个案

Discussions on the Popularizations and Development of Traditional Ethnic Sports——Based On The Case Study Of Yuanji Dance

20世纪90年代初由大陆引进的一种民族传统体育元极舞在台湾迅速普及,经历10余年的推广该健身舞人口已达20万人以上。通过访谈法和文献资料法对该健身舞的推广历程进行研究发现,元极舞推广成功最主要的原因是在台湾进入老龄化社会的背景下,它符合人们的审美需求、健身需求和社交需求,其推广者顺应时代潮流,为最广泛的群众提供服务。近年来元极舞发展所遇到的问题说明民族传统体育的生命力在于创新,缺乏创新的健身舞种会被新的健身舞种所取代。

A type of Chinese traditional ethnic sport, Yuanji dance, has popularized rapidly in Taiwan since the 1990s when it was introduced from China's Mainland. Through our interview with local specialists and investigation into related literature, we found the main reason of this rapid development, which is that the type of sport sufficiently meets the aesthetic, social and fitness demand of the growing aging population. In recent years, Yuanji dance tends to be gradually replaced by other new types of aerobic dancing, this indicates an innovative nature of traditional ethnic sports.
