摘要

本研究主要在探討桃園縣民眾運動行為與影響因素。本研究為橫斷式研究，利用等距隨機抽樣及郵寄問卷之方式收集桃園縣20歲以上民眾之運動行為及影響因素等資料。受試者共1，006人，其中55.5%表示平日有運動習慣，但真正符合美國運動醫學會認定之規律運動的標準則僅27.1%；其中男性有規律運動者佔26.4%，女性佔27.8%；老年組（65-79歲）規律運動的比率為53.2%，青年組（20-39歲）僅14.4%；職業為工者其運動比率低於無工作及其他職業者。家人支持程度、朋友支持程度、運動利益認知、運動障礙認知、運動自我效能與規律運動行為有關。可以預測全體受訪者規律運動之因素包括：年齡、職業、教育程度、運動障礙認知及運動自我效能。桃園縣民眾規律運動比率不高，社經階層與社會心理因素確實會影響縣民規律運動行為，在推動上應加強年輕族群及勞工階層之運動行為。

The purposes of this study were to investigate the exercise behaviors and factors influencing them among adults who live in Taoyuan. This was a cross-sectional study, using interval random sampling, and a mailed questionnaire to collect information about adults' exercise behaviors, socioeconomic status (SES) and psychosocial factors. Among the 1006 adults investigated, 55.5% had self-reported ”regular exercise habits”. In terms of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) definition, however, only 27.1% of the adults performed ”regular exercise.” By gender, this constituted 26.4% of males and 27.8% of females. Elderly adults (65-79y/o) were more likely to perform regular exercise than young adults (20-39y/o)(53.2% vs. 14.4%). Blue-collar employees had lower rates of regular exercise than those with no occupation or other occupations. Family support level, friends' support level, exercise benefits perception, exercise barriers perception, and self-efficacy showed correlations with regular exercise behaviors. Age, occupation, educational level, exercise barriers perception, and self-efficacy were predictors of regular exercise behaviors for all subjects. Rates of regular exercise are relatively low among adults living in Taoyuan. SES and psychosocial factors are associated with the practice of regular exercise among these adults. Efforts to improve regular exercise behaviors among young adults and blue- collar employees would be worthwhile.
