澳門的體育文化淵源深遠,姿彩繽紛,中西合壁、美不勝收。民間社團、政府機關所辦之體育文化活動皆能達致“五化”的效果:傳統化,現代化、多樣化、康樂化和色彩化;吸引成千不同社會階層、年齡、性別和體育技能之人士參加。靑年人更佔絕大部份的直接參與體育活動;靑年人是社會未來棟樑,是社會明日主人翁,直接和間接的參與體育活動皆能收到“社化”的效應,強化他們的“身、心、靈”:擁有健康的身體,敏銳的瞻矚,高尙的情操,成爲有正確信念、態度、行爲和盼望的安康個體,因此,正値澳門社會處於後過渡期之時,澳門政府更應貫徹推行“體育文化”之敎育事業,開拓廿一世紀的“體育文化新天地”,鼓勵靑少年人接受“體育文化之挑戰”。在安定繁榮的環境,齊心努力,共同建設、貢獻社會造福人群,燃亮“體育文化之火”發放“體育文化之光”,享受更完美、更快樂、更美滿和更豐盛的人生。 參考資料 Arnold, P.J.
