本研究主要目的在於評估臺灣海軍對海軍體能課程的重要性，以及海軍體能訓練與檢測效益之認知態度。本研究採發放問卷之方式進行調查，受訪對象為海軍官員、士兵與學生。問卷題項之回答採李克特尺度測量方式，由「極為同意」至「極為不同意」讓受訪者勾選，最後回收共384人，總回收率為76.8%。本研究資料採集中趨勢度量方法，確認海軍對體能訓練與檢測課程方面之認知態度，以單因子變異數分析來了解海軍認知態度方面，各不同人口背景變項之間有無顯著差異。結果顯示，大多數的受訪者感覺現今的體能課程對海軍而言是重要且有效的。單因子變異數分析的結果顯示，在服務年資、志願役或義務役，以及教育程度方面，不同群體所反應出來之認知態度均無顯著差異。但在年齡、官階與服務單位方面，則有顯著差異。因此可知，部分海軍人口背景變項因素與其對體能重要性與體能課程有效性方面之認知有關連。

The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes of selected Taiwan Navy members toward the importance of physical fitness and the effectiveness of the Taiwan Navy Physical Fitness Training and Testing Program. The selected members were 384 Taiwan Naval officers, soldiers, and military students. The study was based on descriptive research methodology and used a questionnaire as the research instrument. The questionnaire used a Likert scale with the intensity rating from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The overall response rate was 76.8 percent. The data were analyzed for central tendency to determine attitudes toward aspects of the Physical Fitness Training and Testing Program and the One-Way ANOVA was used to determine the association between the members' attitude and their background (Age, Rank, Duty, Years Serving in the Navy, Education, Serving Area) toward whether the attitudes of different groups are significantly different from one another. The results indicated that the majority of respondents felt the current physical fitness program was important and effective in the Taiwan Navy. The results of the One-Way ANOVA analysis demonstrated the relationship was not significant for the subjects’ backgrounds of years serving in the navy, duty and education at the .05 level of significance. But the results also indicated the relationship was significant for the subjects’ backgrounds of age, rank and serving units at the .05 level of significance. Hence some background factors did have association to how the navy members felt about the importance of physical fitness and the effectiveness of the current fitness program.
