本研究主要在探究中學階段學生參與田徑運動競賽動機。研究中參考Gillet at. (1983)及Gouldet at. (1985)之PMQ量表(參與運動動機量表)，並考量國情不同，酌增5題，運用此量表，針對彰化縣168位國中、高中階段學生實施參與田徑運動競賽動機之間卷調查，經採用SAS之統計套裝軟體分析得到下列結果:一、國中與高中階段學生參與田徑運動競賽動機，未達差異顯著水準(p<.05)。二、中學階段學生不同性別參與田徑運動競賽動機，未達差異顯著水準(P<.05)。 三、中學階段學生不同年級參與田徑運動競賽動機，在圈中階段學生不同年級土，未達顯著差異。而高中階段學生不同年級上，達差異顯著水準(p<.05)。經事後比較，僅發現高中1年級學生參與田徑運動競賽動機高於 2年級學生。 四、本研究經因素分析，獲得之動機因素概分為九項:(一)田徑運動競賽的特質。(二)社會地位。(三)技術的發展。(四)人際關係。(五)親密關係。(六)升學課業壓力。(七)團體氣氛(八)體迪能。(九)叫他人期待。
