The study subjects include 31 baseball/softball teams consisting of 443 male and female players from Taitung County Elementary School. Statistical methods including T-test, One –Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Scheffe Method, Pearson product-moment correlation, and Multiple Regression are then conducted on the data collected. The study findings are as follows:
