羽球運動是一種對於身心健康都有極大助益且適合全民參與的運動。多數與羽球運動有關的研究都較著重於如何增進技巧和戰術以贏得比賽,以及有關羽球運動場館的滿意度等議題,較少以整體健康之層面進行研究,故本研究將探討羽球運動與健康之關係。 本研究之目的以SF-36台灣版問卷為測量工具探討羽球運動專業化程度對參與者健康的影響,本研究於2010年2月起至2010年3月15日以便利抽樣法對羽球運動參與者進行問卷調查。共發出480份問卷,回收418份有效問卷,有效回收率為87%。本研究結果如下: 一、羽球運動專業化程度分群 羽球運動受訪者以初階參與者的比例最高,佔56.7%;其次依序為中階參與者,佔32.1%;新手參與者,佔9.3%;而以專業參與者為最少,佔1.9%。 二、羽球運動受訪者性別、年齡與健康自評之關係 (一)羽球運動受訪者在性別與健康自評之關係在身體生理功能(PF)和活力狀況(VT)有不同。 (二)羽球運動受訪者在年齡與健康自評之關係在因情緒問題引起的角色限制(RE)、活力狀況(VT)、心理健康(MH)、社會功能(SF)、及整體健康(GH)有不同。 三、羽球運動專業化程度與健康自評之關係 (一) 隨著受訪者羽球運動專業化程度升高,因情緒問題引起的角色限制(RE)、活力狀況(VT)、心理健康(MH)、社會功能(SF)、身體疼痛程度(BP)及整體健康(GH)健康情況越好。 (二) 男性受訪者羽球運動專業化程度升高,男性因情緒問題引起的角色限制(RE)、活力狀況(VT)、心理健康(MH)、社會功能(SF)、身體疼痛程度(BP)及整體健康(GH)等健康狀況愈好。 (三) 女性受訪者羽球運動專業化程度增高,在整體健康(GH)健康狀況愈好。 三、「抒解壓力與放鬆心情」、「促進身體健康」與「維持良好體能狀態」為羽球運動受訪者前三名之羽球運動參與動機。 四、「沒有多餘時間」、「工作或課業繁重」與「缺少同伴」為羽球運動受訪者前三名之羽球運動參與阻礙。 由研究結果,未來可更積極推廣羽球運動,以增進國人之健康。
Badminton is a kind of good exercise to improve players’ physical and mental health, and appropriate for all kinds of people. Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a form recognized by World Health Organization to access people’s health.

Four hundred and eighty people were selected in this cross-sectional, descriptive study by using a structured questionnaire. Four hundred and eighteen valid data were used to analyze as the results, the valid corresponding rate was 87%. The surveys were conducted during the period of February to March 15th 2010. The results of this study were the followings: 1.Most surveyed badminton participants were assessed as the primary level of specializations; the percentage was 56.7%, 32.1%, 9.3% and 1.9% of the surveyed ones were graded as the middle level, new, and the highest level of specialization, separately. 2.The relationships between gender and age of badminton participants and their self-assessed health: (1)Different surveyed badminton participants’ genders had different physical functioning (PF) and vitality (VT). (2)Different surveyed badminton participants’ ages had different role limitations due to emotional problems (RE), vitality (VT), mental health (MH), social functioning (SF), and general health (GH). 3. The relationships between the specialization of badminton participants and the self-assessed health: (1) The higher degree of the surveyed badminton participants’ specializations, the better conditions of their role limitations due to emotional problems (RE), vitality (VT), mental health (MH), social functioning (SF), bodily pain (BP) and general health (GH) . (2) The higher degree of the surveyed male badminton participants’ specializations, the better conditions of their role limitations due to emotional problems (RE), vitality (VT), mental health (MH), social functioning (SF), bodily pain (BP) and general health (GH). (3) The higher degree of the surveyed female badminton participants’ specializations, the better conditions of their general health (GH). 4. To relieve pressure and to relax emotion, to improve physical health, and to maintain good health condition were the top three graded surveyed badminton participant’s motivations. 5.
