Riding for Health and Bringing Happiness
Taiwan's Top 10 Bike Paths Selections Officially Launched!
The Sports Administration has organized the Taiwan Top 10 Bike Paths Selections in efforts to promote the development of cycling green tourism and healthy leisure activities. This event is aimed at spurring local mobilization and public participation in the process of selecting Taiwan's best bike paths and also inviting people from both Taiwan and abroad to enjoy the beautiful journey along Taiwan's bike paths together.
This selection activity officially opens for submissions on 15th June. Local governments and scenic area administration offices first submit recommendations that include details about the select bike paths within their jurisdiction. In addition to highlighting unique local characteristics, such features as Taiwan's indigenous culture, sports, recreation, food, family activities, ecology, scenic spots, and integration of dedicated bike lanes into bicycle tourism routes are included. Director-general Jow-fei Ho explains that the objective of the Top 10 Bike Path Selections is to ride the achievements of bike paths and peripheral development, encouraging everyone to enjoy the beauty of Taiwan while cycling and connecting bike paths to public transportation for even longer, extended journeys. Taiwan is renowned worldwide for its spectacular scenery, and riding at a leisurely pace of just 15km per hour, cyclists can really enjoy the sights close-up. Cycling is a great way to improve people's physical fitness and health and offers great potential for attracting more visitors from abroad to tour Taiwan on bicycle along with us.

搭載健康，幸福轉動
臺灣十大自行車經典路線徵選正式啟動!
為積極推動自行車綠色旅遊與健康休閒的發展趨勢，教育部體育署辦理「臺灣十大經典自行車路線遴選」活動，期能激起地方動員以及全民參與選出最經典的臺灣自行車路線，並邀請國內外人士與民眾共同體驗臺灣自行車路線之美。
本遴選活動自6月15日起開始收件，由地方政府及各風景區管理處等自行車道轄管機關首先辦理推薦，規劃轄內的自行車路線並投稿；除了各地方代表性外，也能多元呈現臺灣在地文化、運動、休閒、美食、親子、生態及奇景等特色，並結合專用自行車道展現多風貌的自行車旅遊路線。體育署何卓飛署長表示，十大經典自行車路線遴選目的，是希望透過自行車道與週邊建設成果，讓國人體驗用騎乘自行車的方式感受臺灣之美，也可以利用自行車結合公共運輸進行深度旅遊。臺灣的景色風貌世界知名，以時速15公里的踩踏方式，反而能真正慢下腳步來悠閒欣賞這些風景，並增進國人健康的體能，更希望能吸引國際人士一起騎車旅行臺灣。

Adding Value to Sport for All "Sport & Health iCloud" Value-Added Applications Research Center Officially Operational
The Sports Administration has established the Sports and Health iCloud Value-Added Applications Research Center, which is the nation's first research center to archive, manage, and analyze big data related to sports, physical activity, and health of the nation's people.
The purpose for establishing the Value-Added Applications Research Center is to reprocess the massive amounts of data accumulated by the government through new, innovative and creative approaches. We anticipate these research results will promote optimization of government policy implementation and strengthen the research foundations for which more "substantive and inductive" sports policies are formulated.
Once the Center has been established it will conduct analysis and research of sports, physical activity, and health data providing more sophisticated nationwide models. The center is a not-for-profit organization and all of the research data provided will comply with the Personal Data Protection Act to ensure individual's personal information is not compromised. In the future, the Center will apply its Sports City Surveys, national physical fitness, and student physical fitness databanks into academic research and governmental policy planning. We hope people from all fields and disciplines will take advantage of this Center.

為全民運動健身加值　「運動健康資訊雲」加值應用研究中心正式運作
教育部體育署已設立「運動健康資訊雲加值應用研究中心」，該中心為體育署設立的全國第一個彙整、管理及分析國人運動、健康相關的大數據（Big Data）的研究中心。
設立加值應用研究中心的目的，在將過去政府所保管的巨量資料透過創新的思維、創意的做法，以創造更高的價值，期望可以產出足以優化政府施政的研究成果，強化體育運動政策制定的研究基礎，提出更「具體而有感」的體育政策。
在中心成立後，將提供服務並在運動與健康資料分析研究部分，更加精進為全國表率，中心除不以營利為目的外，所提供的研究資料，都會遵守個人資料保護法規範，以確保個人資料不外洩，未來將提供運動城市調查、國民體適能、學生體適能等資料庫，用於學術研究及政策方向的規劃，希望各界多加利用。

Summer Camp Activities Allow Students to Enjoy Diverse Sports
As summer vacation approaches, the Sports Administration encourages students to get out and enjoy the great outdoors and embrace the natural environment through participation in a variety of edutainment camps. This year National Taiwan Sport University's master plan will continue being executed, combining activities that utilize the unique local characteristics of schools throughout the north, central, south, and east regions of Taiwan. The most popular camp activities from years' past will make up a lineup of over 15 activities that includes hiking, rock climbing, outdoor adventures, water activities (kayaking, windsurfing, and river tracing), archery, paintball, cycling, fitness champ (obstacle courses), inline skating, physical fitness (testing), sport stacking, and orienteering. This year there will be a total of 72 groups with an estimated 4,800 students participating, giving school-aged youth the opportunity to participate in sports not taught in their school physical education curriculum and the chance to cultivate a passion for a diversity of sports and recreational activities.
Director-general Jow-fei Ho said that sports is no longer misperceived as an activity for those with "simple minds and muscular bodies." In fact, it's quite the opposite: We now know that sports and physical activity makes you smart and relieves stress! Research studies have revealed that developing exercise habits at a young age will have a positive impact on learning, emotional well-being, and interpersonal relationships. Considering that "the strength of a nation depends on the strength of its people," our hope is that each student has the opportunity to participate in sports and physical activities. Participation will improve emotional well-being and learning aptitude and also have a positive impact on promoting overall personal development.

暑假來臨 營隊活動讓青年學子享受多元運動樂趣
暑假來臨，教育部體育署期盼青年學子能走出戶外，擁抱山海，體驗不一樣的育樂營。今年持續由國立體育大學統籌規劃，結合各特色學校在臺灣北、中、南、東四大區域同時舉辦，延續往年最熱門營隊項目，包括登山健行、攀岩、戶外冒險、水上活動（如獨木舟、風浪板、溯溪）、射箭、漆彈、自行車、體能王（活動闖關）、直排輪、體適能（體能考驗）、疊杯競賽、定向運動等超過15項運動體驗活動，總計辦理72個梯次，預計將吸引4,800名學生參與，讓青年學子實際體驗有別於學校體育課的活動，讓孩子們愛上運動，享受多元的運動樂趣。
何卓飛署長表示運動不再是「頭腦簡單、四肢發達」的代名詞，反而會讓腦袋變聰明，情緒也能獲得適當的紓發。根據研究報告顯示，孩子若能從小養成運動習慣，無論在學習、情緒和人際關係上，都會產生正面的影響。有鑒於「體力即國力」，期許每位學生能夠透過運動改善情緒、提升學習力，並在運動中學習成長。

2015 Olympic Day Run

Run for Olympic Glory as an Olympian for a Day!

The 28th Olympic Day Run was held on 6th June and started at the New Taipei City Hall Citizen Plaza. The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) organized this event in collaboration with the Sports Office, New Taipei City Government and the sponsorship of Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. Committed to advancing the Olympic spirit set forth by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and promoting Sport for All, the CTOC began holding this Run back in 1998 and this year marks the 28th consecutive session. The Sports Administration anticipates this event will help the sport of road running gain greater popularity and encourage more people to participate in sports, while also heralding the Olympic spirit of fair play and friendship, deeply engraining Olympic ideals into peoples' hearts.
This year's Olympic Day Run carried on the "Olympic rings run" tradition from last year's event as the CTOC offered commemorative T-shirts in the five colors of the Olmpic rings—blue, yellow, black, green, and red. Wearing the colors of the Olympic rings linked the energy of sports with the colorful vitality of life, making each runner "an Olympian for a day."

Asian Championships Return to Formosa as Chinese Taipei Triathletes Eye Rio
Back in 2011 our nation held the 2011 ASTC Triathlon Asian Championships at Ilan County's renowned scenic spot Meihua (Plum Blossom) Lake. Now, four years later, Asia's highest level competition has returned to Formosa—the beautiful island of Taiwan. The 2015 New Taipei ASTC Triathlon Asian Championships took place from the 12th-14th of June in New Taipei City.
Results of this year's Asian Championships will be counted as qualification points for the 2016 Rio Olympics and thus attracted elite triathletes from nations throughout Asia to come compete in New Taipei City.
Taiwan's population of 23 million ranks around 50th worldwide, but according to data for last year (2014) published by the International Triathlon Union (ITU), the number of triathletes in our nation ranks 13th internationally and 3rd in Asia behind Japan and South Korea. The Sports Administration anticipates that our nation's young triathletes will one day stand tall on the international podium, winning medals and glory for our nation.

亞洲錦標賽重登寶島 中華鐵人放眼里約

我國曾在100年於宜蘭縣知名風景區梅花湖舉行「2011年亞洲鐵人三項錦標賽」，時隔4年，亞洲最高等級賽事再次回到寶島臺灣。今(104)年6月12日至14日「2015年新北微風亞洲鐵人三項錦標賽」在新北市舉行。
今年的亞錦賽成績將列入2016年里約奧運的參賽資格積分屆時將有來自亞洲各國的精英好手齊聚臺北。
擁有2,300萬人口的臺灣，在全球國家人口數排名僅約世界第50，但國際鐵人三項聯盟(ITU)去(103)年公布的數據中，我國鐵人三項運動參與人口已躍升至世界第13名，在亞洲僅次於日本及韓國，排名第3名。體育署期許這些從小以鐵人三項運動為志的青年新秀，在不久的將來有機會站上國際頒獎臺，為國爭光。
