建构符合奥林匹克运动的内部机理与发展规律且能指导奥林匹克运动实践的中国特色奥林匹克学是时代的需要，也是奥林匹克运动可持续发展的需要。基于奥林匹克研究和教育的中国实践，对奥林匹克学及其属性进行了界定和分析；运用独具中华文明特色的“根脉论”从“根”“基”“干”“枝”对奥林匹克学研究对象——奥林匹克运动进行全面梳理；依据奥林匹克学的核心内容，设置了古代奥运会、奥林匹克主义及其价值、教育和体育运动、奥林匹克组织、奥林匹克治理、以奥运会为核心的多元活动6个“基本议题”，依此划分出奥林匹克学“跨学科融合”学科群、“跨学科聚合”学科群、“跨学科协同”学科群和奥运会主题化“超学科交融”学科群，并建构了基于“根脉论”的中国特色奥林匹克学学科体系。在此基础上，从奥林匹克研究的学术价值、奥林匹克运动变革实践的指导价值、全球体育治理的示范引领价值、人类文明互鉴的创新实践价值4个维度探讨了中国特色奥林匹克学学科体系建构的全球价值。

It is such needs of the times to construct the Olympic Studies with Chinese characteristics both aligning with the internal mechanism and development laws of the Olympic Movement and informing its practice, as well as significance for the sustainable development of the Olympic Movement. Grounded in the China’s approach on Olympic Studies and education, the study firstly defines and analyzes the definition and attributes of Olympic Studies. By innovatively adopting the“Root-Branch Theory” with the unique characteristics of Chinese civilization, the study comprehensively explores the study object of Olympic Studies, the Olympic movement, logically from the “root”, “foundation”, “stem” and “branch”. According to the key contents of Olympic Studies, six“main topics”, ranging from “ancient Olympic Games”, “Olympism and its values”, “education and sport”, “Olympic organization”,“Olympic governance”, to“diverse activities with the Olympic Games at the core”, are elaborated accordingly. In accordance with six“main topics”, the four disciplinaryclusters of Olympic Studies are built and defined respectively as“Interdisciplinary integrated”cluster, “interdisciplinary centripetal” cluster, “interdisciplinary synergic” cluster, Olympic Games-thematic “transdisciplinary convergent ” cluster, based on which discipline system of Olympic Studies with Chinese characteristics in the light of the“Root-Branch Theory”is constructed systematically. The study also conducts the discussion on its diverse global values from four dimensions including the academic value of Olympic Studies, the guiding value of Olympic movement practice, exemplary and leading value of global sports governance, and the innovative practice value of inter- civilizational mutual learning.
