A researcher self-developed instrument, “Leisure Exercise Participation Behavior and Well-being of Junior High School Students in Taoyuan County Survey”, was used to collect data. Junior high school students enrolled in the 99th school year in Taoyuan County were randomly selected as the study’s subjects. A total of 1132 valid questionnaires were returned. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, t-tests, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe’s method. The results of the study were as follows: 1. The typical leisure exercise behavior of a Taoyuan County junior high school student was to participate “at no specific places”, “in the afternoon”, for “1-2 times” per week, with “less than 30 minutes” every time, on “weekends”, with “no particular companions”, to play “basketball”, and to perceive exercise loading and the state of relaxing as “moderate”. 2. The average perceived level of well-being for Taoyuan County junior high school students was between “moderate” and “strong”; the perceived subscales, in a descending order of strength levels, were “Interpersonal Relationship”, “Positive and Negative Emotions”, and “Self Approval”. 3. There were significant differences on the leisure exercise participation behavior between/among students with different genders, grades, school athletic team or sports club participating experiences, or non-school sports club participating experiences. 4. There were significant differences on the perception level of well-being among students with different family structures, school athletic team or sports club participating experiences, or non-school sports club participating experiences. 5. There were significant differences on the perception level of well-being among students with different leisure exercise participation behaviors.
