摘要

本研究旨在調查中高齡者規律運動與成功老化表現，以及兩者之間的相關性。採用問卷調查法，以嘉義地區中高齡者（包含高齡者）為研究對象，經由分層立意取樣，由嘉義地區的「樂齡中心」、「長青學苑」、「社區照顧關懷據點」選取35個單位，使用「規律運動成功老化問卷」進行資料蒐集。預試樣本61位，正式施測樣本630位。
針對研究發現，歸納結論為：
一、中高齡者的規律運動模式因人而異，通常依據自己的生理狀況調整運動的強度與頻率。
二、中高齡者對於維持良好心智與避免疾病有良好的認知與習慣，且透過社會互動與學習獲得靈性成長，以正向積極的心理面對老化所帶來的衝擊。
三、中高齡者運動的強度不會因為社會背景不同而有所差異。成功老化表現與規律運動習慣不會因為性別不同而有所不同。
四、規律運動與成功老化有低相關，且成功老化表現較佳的中高齡者運動模式有一致的趨勢。
建議相關單位提倡規律運動與成功老化的關聯性，鼓勵中高齡者或是準備退休的族群，養成規律運動的習慣，設計適合中高齡者的運動處方，培訓此方面種子教學人員。建議中高齡者，除了散步與健走，也可以增加平衡感與身體協調性的運動。本研究發現成功老化與規律運動有低相關，而有許多研究都只是針對規律運動與生理健康，所以未來可以針對規律運動與成功老化三大面向分別深入探討。

The objectives of this study were to survey regular exercise behavior and successful aging in middle- and old-age people, and the correlation between the two factors. This study was conducted using the survey method. The research targets were middle- and old-age people (including the elderly) in the Chiayi region. We selected 35 units as research bases from Active Aging Learning Centers, Elderly Colleges, and Community Caring Centers in the Chiayi region using stratified purposive sampling. A regular exercise and successful aging questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. A pretest was conducted with 61 participants, and the formal test was conducted with 630 participants.
The research findings are summarized into the following points:
1. The patterns of regular exercise in middle- and old-age people differ for each person. Middle- and old-age people typically adjust their exercise intensity and frequency according to their physical condition.
2. Middle- and old-age people have an adequate understanding and ability to maintain their mental function and prevent disease. Additionally, through social interaction and learning, they can develop spiritually and learn to cope with the psychological impact of aging.
3. Exercise intensity does not differ among middle- and old-age people because of varying social backgrounds. Additionally, successful aging and habits of regular exercise do not differ between sexes.
4. Regular exercise and successful aging have a minimal correlation; however, the exercise patterns of middle- and old-age people with a superior performance of successful aging showed a consistent trend.
We recommend relevant units promote the correlation between exercise and successful aging to encourage middle- and old-age people and people preparing to retire to form regular exercise habits. Additionally, relevant units should design exercise programs appropriate for middle- and old-age people and cultivate seeded teachers in this field. In addition to standard walking and brisk walking, we recommend middle- and old-age people participate in exercise that increases their balance and physical coordination. The results of this study show that successful aging and regular exercise have a minimal correlation. However, numerous previous studies have emphasized the relationship between regular exercise and physical health. Therefore, additional studies involving in-depth investigations of the three major dimensions of regular exercise, successful aging, and physical health should be conducted in the future.
