Evaluation of the Japanese elite sport system: An international comparison

本研究的目的是为了改善优秀运动员的环境和国际体育的成功，对日本现行精英体育制度的政策驱动因素和主要缺陷进行分析。我们通过参与“SPLISS”实现了这一目标，SPLISS是一个国际研究合作网络，与政策制定者，国家奥委会（NOC），国际（体育）组织和全球研究人员合作，协调，开发和分享创新，高性能体育政策研究的专业知识。与其他国家相比，日本竞技体育体制在“训练设施”、“国际比赛”、“科学研究”等方面具有优势，但在“运动参与”、“人才识别与培养”等方面存在一定的不足。

The purpose of this research was to examine policy-related success drivers and major weakness of the current elite sport system in Japan in order to improve elite athletes' climate and international sporting success. We achieved this purpose by participating in 'SPLISS' which is an international network of research cooperation that coordinates, develops and shares expertise in innovative, high-performance sport policy research in cooperation with policy makers, National Olympic Committees (NOCs), international (sport) organisations, and researchers worldwide. Compared with other nations, the Japanese elite sport system showed the advantage in 'training facility', '(inter)national competition', and 'scientific research', however research has revealed that there are certain weakness in 'sport participation' and 'talent identification and development'.
