| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 體育教學碩士在職專班 === 96 === The purposes of this study were to investigate the current exercise behavior of the elementary school teachers, and to discuss the relationships among exercise behavior and selected demographic characteristics, stage of exercise, perceived health status, perceived barriers of exercise, perceived benefits of exercise and exercise self-efficacy. The subjects were elementary school teachers of Pingtung County. By using a stratified cluster sampling method. The instruments administer to the subjects will Exercise Questionnaire, Stage of Exercise Inventory, Perceived Health Status Inventory, Perceived Barriers of Exercise Inventory, Perceived Benefits of Exercise Inventory and Exercise Self-Efficacy Inventory. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square, one-way ANOVA and multiple stepwise regression analysis.The results of this study were as follows：
1. The distribution of the stages of exercise took the most part in preparation (40.5 %). Others were in maintenance (29.2 %), action (13.5 %), contemplation (11.3 %), and the least part in precontemplation (5.5 %).
2. The subjects have significant differences in sex and age across the stages of exercise change.
3. The subjects in the different stages of exercise had significant differences in the perceived health status, exercise benefits, exercise barriers, exercise self-efficacy and exercise behavior. Perceived health status, exercise benefits, exercise self-efficacy and exercise behavior scores increased at each level from the precontemplation through to the maintenance stage. Exercise barriers scores decreased at each level from the precontemplation through to the maintenance stage.
4. There were significant differences in the perceived health status, exercise barriers, exercise self-efficacy and exercise behavior between male and female teachers.
5. There were significant differences in the perceived health status, exercise barriers and exercise behavior between over 50 years old and below 50 years old teachers.
6. There were significant differences in the perceived health status, exercise barriers, exercise self-efficacy and exercise behavior between class and department teachers.
7. The 26.0 % variance of exercise behavior could be explained by exercise self-efficacy. The exercise self-efficacy was the most powerful predictor.
The explanations of the findings were offered, and the applications of the study were discussed. Finally, some suggestions for future studies were identified and discussed.
