[[alternative]]Quantitative Body: The Technology of Power in Schools’ Physical Fitness Test

[[abstract]]This study aimed to propose another perspective about physical fitness by the cross-field research form. In term of view of analyzing the mechanism of schools’ physical fitness test, the study focused on students’ body-discipline and the possibilities of students’ body response. Furthermore after the depth interviews between the researcher and collaborators, it leaded the reflections on the schools’ physical fitness test. According to these concepts, this study concluded following: 1. In the past, the studies of physical fitness emphasized on the health point of view and were based on the visions of positivism and science. So comparisons on human’s physical fitness differences gradually become the type of physical fitness studies. 2. The schools’ physical fitness test quantified students’ bodies in five parts: (1) details of flexibility training (2) arrangement of visible body (3) score recording system of the physical fitness passport (4) normalizing judgment of body’s standard and health model (5) reward and punishment system in sports. They form the notion of "technology of the self" defined by Foucault. 3. The continued cycle of the body-discipline power discourse made up the accumulation of body information and the significance of real life actions. 4. Because body was the domain that cultural capital and ideology are struggling for, there is no absolute relation between body-discipline and body-construction in the processes of physical fitness test. 5. Sport is the subject of the research rather than the device of the research.
