| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺南師範學院 === 教師在職進修體育碩士學位班 === 92 === The purposes of this study were to investigate the current exercise participating behavior of the Elementary School senior students., and examining the impact that socio-psychological factors, such as individual background factor, environment factor, exercise health belief, exercise social support, exercise self efficiency and so forth, have toward their exercise participating behavior. The study focuses on the student body of the fifth and sixth graders in elementary school across Changhwa County in school year 2003 as the parent group taking to a “Hierarchical random sampling scheme” to draw sampling subjects, together with a voluntary questionnaire deployed for data gathering. From which, the collected data are put through frequency distribution percentile descriptive statistics, independent sample t validation, independent single sample factor variable analysis, Pierson’s differential coefficient and multiple reversal for analysis purposes; some of the crucial findings derived are recapped as follows,
The exercise participating behavior are led by a low- to medium-strength level, and their most frequently engaged sporting categories are topped by four categories of cycling, basketball, jogging and badminton.
1. The regimented exercise participating behavior only accounts for 24.1% .
2. The exercise participating behaviors are found to contain significant variations among the variables of gender, experience in participating exercise team or community group, family exercise equipment and environment, sporting venues and the like.
3. Of the scores derived form the study subjects’ sports participating behavioral and related factor questionnaire poll, cognitive sports gain averages to the highest score, cognitive motivation cue and social sporting support come in the middle, and sports barrier and voluntary sporting efficiency come in the least.
4. Variables derived from the subject subjects’ cognitive sports gain, sports barrier, social sporting support and voluntary sporting efficiency are found positively correlated to whose sports participating behavior, and noticeably at a significant level.
5. Variables derived from the subject subjects’ voluntary sporting efficiency, sports barrier and sports gain are regarded as important forecast variables on whose sports participation behaviors, and the interpretable variable has been concluded at 6.3%.
The study wishes to recommend to school districts and education authorities that
it is prudent to step up the curricular development of “Health and physical education”, coupled with a fully integrated curricular implementation, helping to steer the schoolchildren in linking systematic exercise participating behavior and health awareness concept to better enhance their sporting aptitude and health awareness belief . It is prudent for all school districts to actively form sporting groups or community sporting groups that would lure the students to partake the events, and a broad-based procurement of sporting equipment and devices, with ample of sporting venues developed that would poise to steer the students to actively take part in exercise participating activities. While families and school districts need to make a distinct effort to encourage female students to engage in a variety of sports participating behaviors by offering ample of support, assistance and recognition, allowing them to culminate a routine in sports participating habit that is inductive to a healthy physiological and psychological development.
