Abstract
The purposes of this study were to understand and analyze the contents and the status of the development of 398 master’s theses and their 26803 references in sport management during 1993-2003 in Taiwan. The Content Analysis was used as the study’s main research method, with the assistance of the Citation Analysis. The instrument “content analysis checklist of master’s theses in sport management in Taiwan” was used to collect data. The data was statistically analyzed in terms of Frequency Distribution and Percentage, Chi-square. The results showed as the followings：
1.The total number of master’s theses in sport management has been growing significantly since 1998. The total number of master’s theses in sport management in different areas has been in unbalanced distribution. There were six major universities playing the key roles in terms of sport management research.
2.The main three research topics of the master’s theses were Sport Marketing Management（Sponsorship included）, Sport Management, Organization and Leadership, Sport Leisure Management.
3.There was no significant correlation found among master’s theses in different years and research topics. The significant correlations were found between these master’s theses were correlations among research purposes, research areas, research instruments, and computerize statistical software.
4.There was no significant correlation found among master’s theses in different areas, research purposes, research areas, research instruments, and computerize statistical software. The significant correlations were found between these master’s theses and their respective research topics, and research instruments.
5.The quantity of references has been increasing. The languages of the references were mainly Chinese and English. Most of the references were published between the year of 1991 and 2003. The main types of the references were books and journals. The most cited English author was Chelladurai, P., and the Chinese counterpart was Ministry of Education（Taiwan）.
This study provides the research information and analysis of Master’s Theses in Sport Management in Taiwan during recent 10 years, and expects the increasing application of qualitative research method in sport management. It would be combined together between Sport Marketing Management and Sport Leisure Management to create benefit for organization, and it would be a future trend.

Energy Expenditure And Heart Rate Variability
Graduate student: Cheng-Kun Wu
Advisor: Cheng-Chung Lin ,Ph.D.
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of long-term Wai Tan Kung exercise on heart rate (HR), energy expenditure, oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE), heart rate variability and blood pressure. Two different groups of older adults were recruited. One group subjects (n =16; 65.0 ± 4.2 yrs, 163.3 ± 7.3 cm, 63.3 ± 7.3 kg) had been participated at least 10 years of regular Wai Tan Kung exercise (long-term group, LTG), and the other (n = 16; 59.0 ± 3.7 yrs, 162.0 ± 3.9 cm, 65.7 ± 3.6 kg) had been participated as same exercise as LTG but less than one year (short-term group, STG). The results of this study showed that there were significant differences (p < .05) in rest systolic pressure, and HR, energy expenditure, VO2, VE, high frequency power (HFP) and low frequency power (LFP) during exercise between LTG and STG (p < .05). LTG subjects had a significant lower in rest heart rate and blood pressure (p < .05) than STG subjects, and the former also reached higher (p < .05) exercise intensities during exercise testing than the latter. Moreover, there were significant higher heart rate, VO2 and VE during exercise testing for LTG than STG, suggesting that LTG subjects had higher metabolic rate. Additionally, LTG had a higher HFP than STG, suggesting that there was a significant increase in parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous activity during exercise testing for LTG than STG, indicating LTG subjects may prevent from coronary artery disease and improve functions of the heart. It is concluded that older adults participate in regular long-term of Wai Tan Kung exercise have a positive effect on their cardiovascular fitness. Therefore, such kind of exercise may especially fit for older adults.
Key words: oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE), heart rate, heart rate variability, Wai Tan Kung exercise.

Abstract
The purposes of this thesis were to reveal the reality of human resource management activities and organizational performance in health and sport clubs in Taiwan, to uncover the differences between employees’ demographic variables and to probe the relationship between human resource management activities and organizational performance. Four hundred and twenty six employees of YOUTHCAMP PARIS served as the subject of this study. The instrument “Organizational Performance Measuring Scale” were adopted. One-way ANOVA, multiple stepwise regression and canonical correlation analysis were utilized for data analysis and the results were as followed:
1. The human resource management activities and organizational performance in health and sport clubs were desirable.
2. Significant differences were found in the employees’ cognition at the different variables; especially, the employees who were male, senior and married.
3. It existed a canonical correlation between human resource management activities and organizational performance.
4. In health and sport clubs, organizational performance could be predicted effectively by human resource management activities; especially, the variable of “training” and the variable of “employment”.
Key words: health and sport club, human resource management activities, organizational performance.

[[alternative]]Unequal Electric Field Assisted Sweeping-MEKC for the Determination of Dopamine and Norepinephrine in Urine by Violet Light Emitting Diode-Induced Fluorescence Detection
No full text[[abstract]]An unequal electric field assisted sweeping-MEKC (UEFA/sweeping-MEKC) technique is proposed, for the first time, and compared to the normal sweeping-MEKC with reference to sensitivity and separation efficiency. NDA (naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde) derivatized-dopamine and -norepinephrine, were selected for use as model compounds. In the case of normal sweeping-MEKC, the findings show that, when a portion (30 cm, ~1/3 of the total length of the capillary) of sample matrix was injected into the capillary, the separation resolution was only 1.5. However, this was dramatically improved to 9.2 when the UEFA/sweeping-MEKC technique was applied. In the view of sensitivity, when a violet-LED (~ 2mW) was used as the fluorescence excitation source, the limit of detection for NDA-labeled dopamine was determined to ~10-9 M, the similar to that for normal sweeping-MEKC, since the injected sample volume is same. In addition, this method also provides sufficient sensitivity and separation efficiency for the detection of low concentrations of dopamine in urine.
[[alternative]]On-line Identification of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine in Human Urine by Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoresis Fluorescence Spectroscopy at 77 K
No full text[[abstract]]We have demonstrated that capillary electrophoresis (CE) can be easily interfaced with 77 K luminescence spectroscopy (LS) for separation and on-line spectral identification of structurally similar analytes. This novel CE-LS apparatus consists of a regular CE system, instrumentation for luminescence spectroscopy, and a specially designed capillary-dewar. When the separating molecules traverse into the cryostat detection window liquid nitrogen is added, freezing the separating analyte zones within the capillary. We present the first application of the CE-LS system to structural isomers (2, 3- and 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine). Then application of this system for 3,4-MDMA and related amphetamines in urine samples are described for nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis/fluorescence spectroscopy and identified on-line at 77 K. Under optimized conditions, baseline separation of the selected compounds was achieved in less than 12 min. Precision was evaluated by measuring the repeatability and intermediate precision of the migration times and corrected peak areas. The nonaqueous CE separation conditions and the spectral characteristics of 3,4-MDMA with respect to solvent and temperature effects are also discussed.
