This text provides a synopsis, as well as some greater detail, concerning the "Canadian Sport for Life" project Long-Term Athlete Development Canada (LTAD) initiated in 2004. The genesis of the project may be found in the Canadian Sport Policy released in 2002 by Sport Canada, the sport participation and performance agency within the Canadian Heritage Ministry of the Canadian Government. The project has grown from relatively humble beginnings to become a system-wide movement and catalyst for change that encompasses not only sport participation and excellence, but also aspects to do with education, health, and general recreation. Additionally, it involves all age groups (cradle to grave). Although the project was initiated on behalf of performance sport, it is a clear example of how sport can influence and interact with many facets of a society. In Canada, LTAD clearly is tied to a philosophy that spans a broad narrative from healthy active lives to elite sport performance.
本文提供了一份关于2004年启动的“加拿大终身体育”项目——加拿大长期运动员发展（LTAD）的概要以及一些更详细的信息。该项目的起源可追溯至加拿大政府加拿大遗产部下属的体育参与和表现机构——加拿大体育局于2002年发布的《加拿大体育政策》。该项目已从相对不起眼的开端发展成为一场全系统的运动和变革催化剂，不仅涵盖体育参与和卓越表现，还涉及教育、健康和大众娱乐等方面。此外，它涉及所有年龄组（从摇篮到坟墓）。尽管该项目是代表竞技体育发起的，但它清楚地表明了体育如何能够影响社会的许多方面并与之相互作用。在加拿大，长期运动员发展显然与一种理念紧密相连，这种理念涵盖了从健康积极的生活到精英体育表现的广泛内容。
