Since exercise habit had to be developed from a young age, it was crucial to cultivate this habit as a student. The objects of this study were junior high students who participated leisure sports. The participation motivation, flow experience and leisure benefit in the middle school students in Chiayi County were discussed, and the differences of the participants with different background variables were analyzed. Convenience Sampling was used in this research. Questionnaires were 400 in total, and 383 of them were valid. The effective response rate was 95%. The collected data were analyzed and verified by SPSS 18 for Windows software, and analyzed by descriptive analysis, independent sample t test, correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe’s method and stepwise regression analysis. The results of the study found: (1) The background of the participants in the variable distribution was that men, the first graders, who exercise 4 to 5 days a week, 5 hours a week or less, have participated in sports teams or sports associations more. (2) Background variables were significantly different in the participation motivation, flow experience and leisure benefits. (3) There was a significant positive correlation between participation motivation and leisure benefit. Besides, there was also a significant positive correlation between flow experience and leisure benefit. (4) Both participation motivation and flow experience had a positive impact on leisure benefits.
