Summary: | 碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 休閒遊憩研究所 === 101 === Presently, playing tennis has become more and more popular in Taiwan, and tennis associations and clubs have gradually been building up. Besides, paved surfaces have been also developed with various types of materials. The study was conducted in a tennis club in Huiwei. By a review of the literature and observation, it points out that individuals with different degrees of specialization may have different perceptions of flow experience.
However, the previous studies did not indicate if court characters may influence the development of specialization and flow experience; hence, the relationship between tennis players and a court is worth conducting.
As for questionnaire design, the researcher interviewed with tennis players and experts, then discussed test items with the advisor, and induced user behavior to develop the questionnaire for this study. 120 copies of the questionnaires were distributed and 74 copies were valid. Then, the researcher categorized the responses by personal backgrounds, tennis specialization, flow experience, and court characters, and analyzed the data with Independent-samples t Test, One-way ANOVA, and the Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results of the study found that the relationships among tennis specialization, flow experience, and court characters have significant correlation, and will provide tennis players with appropriate suggestions to gain better recreational experience. Hopefully, the study can help curriculum design for a tennis course, and planning and management of a tennis club in the future.
