| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 健康促進與休閒管理碩士在職專班 === 97 === This study investigated the participation of badminton players in Taitung County in the badminton sport and the constraints that prevent their participation. The research instrument was “a questionnaire on participation behaviors of and constraints to badminton population in Taitung County”, which consisted of three sections, including personnel profile, participation in the badminton sport, and constraints preventing participation. A total of 391 questionnaires were issues, and 368 copies were returned. The valid response rate was 94.1%. The collected data were later analyzed using descriptive analysis, chi-square test, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffe post-hoc comparison test.
The research findings included:
1. The sample consisted of players who were mostly male, aged 31-40, residing in Taitung City, married, holding a college/university degree, working in military/police/public/educational areas, earning less than NT$30,000 a month, and having played the sport for 1-5 years. On average, they participated in the badminton sport 3 times a week, usually in the “afternoon” or “evening”, with each session lasting 60-90 minutes. They played badminton most frequently with “friends”. Their average monthly expense on this sport was “below NT$1,000”. Most of them arrived at the badminton court “within 10 minutes”.
2. Among the dimensions of constraints, the dimension with the strongest constraints to their participation in badminton sport activities was “interpersonal constraints”, followed by “physical constraints”, “personal constraints”, and “structural constraints”. In terms of constraint items, “insufficiency of badminton court” was the strongest.
3. Correlations between participation behaviors and background variables of Taitung County badminton players would vary by their background variables.
4. Constraints to badminton participation behaviors among Taitung County badminton players would vary by their background variables.
