      摘要 目的：了解太极拳练习者膝关节疼痛的发病率。探讨太极拳练习者发生膝关节疼痛的原因和预防膝关节疼痛的方法。 方法：采用现场发放问卷的方式对373位太极拳练习者的性别、年龄；练习太极拳时间；准备活动时间；准备活动形式；对拳理了解程度；学习太极拳前是否有膝关节疼痛；练习太极拳过程中是否有膝关节疼痛等问题进行调查。 结果：收回有效问卷355份，练习太极拳前有膝关节疼痛131人占36.90%，练习过程中出现膝关节疼痛175人占49.30%。经统计学分析练习中膝关节疼痛发生率由于练习者性别、拳理了解程度、准备活动时间，以及练习太极拳前有无膝关节疼痛的不同而存在显著差异。练习中膝关节疼痛主要出现在屈膝重心下移和屈膝重心下移加转体的动作形式中。 结论：太极拳练习会增加膝关节疼痛风险；通过加强拳理学习，适当增加准备活动时间，加强股四头肌力量和膝关节控制能力并积极治疗练习前的膝痛有助于降低练习过程中膝关节疼痛发生率。
