雖然世界各國的肥胖盛行率持續增加，但有關肥胖學童對運動看法的研究，則尚付之闕如。
本研究之目的旨在探索肥胖學童的運動知覺感受。
本研究設計為質性研究。採立意取樣，以臺北市三所公立國小，1，714名年齡在11~13 歲的學童為對象，最後有11位處於無運動意圖的肥胖學童參與研究。以五題開放式訪談大綱，兩所學校各進行一場焦點團體訪談。資料則以內容分析法進行分析。
共找出六個有意義的主題:(a)對運動的正向印象、(b)不做運動時的不良影響、(c)運動後的不舒服感覺、(d)自我矛盾、(e)對運動的錯誤信念、(f)找藉口不運動。
研究結果所提供的資訊，除更加了解肥胖學童的運動知覺戚受外，也可協助肥胖學童增加其運動量，改善其健康。

Background: Although the prevalence of obesity continues to increase worldwide， information related to obese schoolaged children's perceptions of exercise remains limited.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore perceptions of exer cise held by obese school-aged children.
Methods: This study used a qualitative research design. Using purposive sampling， 11 obese students who were 11 to 13 years old， currently enrolled at two primary schools， and in the precontemplation stage were recruited from a total population of 1.714 to participate in the study. An interview guide with five open-ended questions was used to guide focus group dis cussions. Data were analyzed using content analysis to identify significant themes.
Results: Six themes emerged from collected data， including (a) positive impressions about doing exercise， (b) recognition of negative effects associated with not doing exercise， (c) feelings of discomfort after exercise,(d) self-ambivalence， (e) false beliefs about exercise， and (f) making excuses for not doing exercise.
Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Study findings provided information giving a better understanding of exercise perceptions among obese children. Such may be used to assist obese children to increase exercise levels as part of efforts to improve health in this vulnerable population
