本文以歷史社會學的取徑，探究日本在臺灣殖民時期學校體育之發展歷程。本文以1919年《臺灣教育令》公布及1937年皇民化運動推行作為分界點，將臺灣日治時期分為三個時期，分別為｢綏撫時期｣、｢文治時期｣與｢皇民化時期｣，探討不同時期之教育政策與學校體育政策。以後殖民主義理論的｢規訓社會與軍國主義｣概念進行資料收集，並加以討論。結果顯示，日治時期受到殖民者利益考量，臺灣學校體育政策有不同的特色。綏撫時期(1895-1919)殖民政策方向輪廓尚不明顯，且日籍學生與臺籍學生之間位置的不對等，課程存有差異之外，內容也以強化工作效能之思維為主；文治時期(1919-1937)受到世界各殖民地要求獨立及朝鮮反抗日本統治的影響，內地延長主義將日本生活習慣中的主流運動(例如劍道、柔道)帶入臺灣，並賦予主流文化的價值觀；受到太平洋戰爭的影響，皇民化時期(1937-1945)教育臺人具有日本國民之愛國心與犧牲精神，國民學校體操科改為體鍊科，分別包含體操及武道，其目的為充實兵源，培育出可隨時為日本犧牲之臺灣人民。
