摘要

研究背景：進入中年後生理機能逐漸下滑，女性更會在這時經歷更年期，使生、心理都受到影響。過去已有多篇文獻證實規律的運動習慣對生、心理方面有正面的影響，但中年女性受多種運動障礙因素影響，有規律運動習慣的比例仍然偏低。體感遊戲因需要大量的身體活動才能操作，已有多篇研究證實此遊戲能夠達到中等的運動強度，可作為體能活動的替代方式。但現今的研究多以兒童、青少年為主要研究對象，較少針對中年女性，中年女性對於此新型運動方式的接受度與享受度仍是未知。
研究目的：本研究以體感遊戲跟傳統的快走運動做比較，探討中年女性對兩種不同運動方式的接受度及享受度。
研究方法：本研究共招募了30位中年女性為受試者，將受試者以隨機順序進行體感遊戲或快走運動，運動時間為30分鐘，兩種運動之間間隔一個禮拜。運動前後測之問卷包含：休閒運動阻礙因素、享受度量表、感受量表、感覺覺醒量表、運動自覺強度及未來使用意願量表。
研究結果：對本研究的受試者而言，經濟因素為最大的運動阻礙，其次是時間因素，此外，體感遊戲和快走運動都對情緒有正面的效益。中年女性對體感遊戲的享受度顯著高於快走運動，但在未來使用意願的分數上卻無顯著的差異。
結論：本研究結果顯示對於中年女性來說體感遊戲是一種高享受度且可以被接受的新型運動方式，因此體感遊戲可能可作為促進中年女性運動行為的介入方式之一。

Background：
Physiological functions gradually decline after age 40 and beyond. Women will also experience menopause during this stage and suffer from various physical and mental symptoms. Previous studies showed that regular exercise habit can relieve menopausal symptoms, and improve physiological and psychological health. However, middle-aged women have the lowest physical activity participation rate due to various barriers. Playing exergame requires lots of physical activities and has been considered a new exercise mode. It has been shown to provide moderate intensity of exercise. But most of the previous studies focused on children and adolescents, few has involved middle-aged women. Whether this new mode of exercise can be enjoyed and accepted by this population remains unknown.
Purpose：
The present study compared exergame and traditional brisk walking to examine the enjoyment and acceptability of the two exercise modes in middle-aged women.
Method：
Thirty participants were recruited for this study. They performed exergame or brisk walking for 30 minutes in random order. Two experimental conditions were separated by one week. Measurement questionnaires included: Exercise Obstruction Factors Test, Enjoyment Scale, Feeling Scale, Felt Arousal Scale, Borg Rate of Perceived Exertion(RPE), and Future For Use Scale.
Result：
For the participants, economic factor was the biggest barrier to exercise, followed by time. In addition, both exergame and brisk walking had positive effects for mood. Furthermore, middle-aged women’s enjoyment scores in exergame were significantly higher than brisk walking, but future use scores weren’t significantly different between the two exercise modes.
Conclusion：
The results of the study suggest that exergame can be enjoyed and accepted by middle-aged women. Playing exergame can be considered an intervention method for promoting exercise behavior in this population.
