目的：本研究主要在瞭解中年人規律從事網球運動的參與動機。方法：採質性研究，以抽樣飽和理論為基礎，針對16位中年人進行半結構式訪談，並以文件分析及參與觀察方式收集資料。所得資料經開放性、主軸性及選擇性編碼，持續加以比較、整理及分析。結果：發現規律從事網球運動之中年人的參與動機包括健康與體能（追求健康、體重控制、增加體力）、社會支持（家人的支持、同儕與朋友的鼓勵、拓展交友圈）、壓力調適（紓解生活壓力、身心舒暢感、享受網球樂趣）、自我實現（成就感、提高自信心、追求卓越）。結論：健康因素是中年人規律打網球重要動機，當他獲得家人、同儕支持與鼓勵後，更能增強動力。另外，享受網球樂趣及釋放身心壓力的效果之外，贏球及技術精進，可進一步獲得成就感及自信心，使其更委身投入。
