本研究目的在瞭解中年白領階級男性的運動習慣及其影響因素。由台北市某公司員工體檢名冊中採立意取樣法選取合乎40-65歲、中上社經地位的男性員工為研究對象，共計349位，進行自填式問卷調查；以SAS及BMDP軟體進行描述性及推論性統計分析。結果顯示：僅26.4%研究對象有規律運動習慣，而257位無規律運動習慣者中，45%一週運動不到一次，34%每次運動不到二十分鐘，半數以上從事輕度運動；經邏輯式迴歸分析顯示自我效能較高、經常有運動享樂感、曾參加運動社團、曾出席運動保健課程、運動時無夥伴者較可能有規律運動習慣；其中以自我效能的影響最顯著。本文並就研究結果對促使員工養成規律運動習慣之方法及未來研究方向提出建議。

The aim of this study was to investigate the exercise habits of middle-aged white-collar males, and reveal relevant factors that may influence these habits. 349 subjects were selected using convenient sampling from a list of an employees’ physical checkup in a company in Taipei. All participants were males aged from 40 to 65, and their socioeconomic status was above middle class. A self-report questionnaire was used for data collection; and SAS and BMDP computer software were adopted for data analysis. This research reveals three findings. First, only 26.4% of the
subjects had the habit of regular exercise. Second, among the 257 irregular exercisers, 45% of them exercised for less than once a week and 34% would exercise for less than 20 minutes each time. In addition, over half of the irregular exercisers engaged in mild exercise only. Third, the results of logistic regression analysis showed that subjects who had
higher self-efficacy, found exercise enjoyable, attended health groups and classes, and exercised without needing to invite partners tended to have regular exercise habits. Self-efficacy was the most significant factor affecting the habit of regular exercise. Based on the above findings, strategies to promote employees’ exercise habits and directions for further research are also suggested.
