In recent years, the phenomenon of early retirement is more significant. The senior citizens have become a higher proportion in the population structure, and so does their awareness of leisure. The leisure needs of senior citizens groups are dramatically shifted. Therefore, the elderly leisure activity should be a worth issue to be discussed. This research is to investigate leisure activities of the seniors in the population aged 50 to 65. In order to achieve the research purpose, the research discusses the existing empirical research literatures. The study also tries analyzing leisure participation and barriers of senior citizens. And we try to find out if the seniors are satisfied with their leisure status and lifestyle. The sample of this research are included the senior citizens who are in the gym nearby, and a total of 210 valid questionnaires are analyzed. We adopt descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, ANOVA analysis, paired T test, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The research wants the results to make seniors a better understanding of the importance of leisure participation, and in further to provide seniors’ more appropriate services.
