中文摘要
　　本研究旨在瞭解老人的休閒運動：元極舞在休閒滿意與理想健身功能指標的關係。以前實驗設計的單組前測-後測設計（one-group pretest-posttest design）的方式進行，並以高雄市三民區（三民公園）、楠梓區（都會公園）65歲以上的老人，取男、女各11人為對象。採用修改自Beard及Ragheb（1980）之量表而編之「老人休閒滿意量表」及健身　能檢測（體重、血壓、體前彎、安靜時心率）等前後測的資料，經描述性統計、PCA主成份分析、單因子變異數、配對t等方法加以處理，及利用灰色關聯分析來強化傳統數理在母體樣本數不足之情形。根據研究結果發現：
1.在休閒滿意總分上沒有性別的差異。
2.年齡愈高在休閒滿意總分上愈高。
3.原來健康較不理想者，經過三個月的元極舞訓練後，休閒滿意度急增。
4.經濟較充裕、夠用者較經濟吃緊者有較高的休閒滿意度。
5.經過三個月元極舞訓練後，教育程度較高者有較高的滿意度。
6.自由時間適中「6-8小時」者比太多「全天」或太少者滿意度較高。
7.睡眠情況較好「6-8小時」者，其休閒滿意的總分顯著優於「1-2小時」「3-5小時」者。
8.經過三個月的元極舞訓練後，老人在血壓、體前彎、體重、及安靜時心跳等，都有顯著的進步。
9.休閒滿意量表在前後測相關分析中具顯著正相關（r=.87）。
10.健身項目在前後測相關分析中具顯著負相關（r=-.78）。
11.理想健身功能指標與休閒滿意度之相關性未達顯著性。

Abstract
　　The purpose of this study was to survey the relationship between leisure satisfaction and exercise for the aged people. This was conducted in the method of one-group pretest- posttest. Eleven males and eleven females, over 65 years old from Sam-Ming District and Nan-Tzu District of Kaohsiung City in Taiwan, served as the subjects of this study. The research tools were Leisure Satisfaction Scale for the Aged People, a revision of Beard and Ragheb Scale (1980), and the physical information before and after exercise, such as weight, blood pressure, flexibility, and rest heart rate. Description statistic, paired-sample t test, one way analysis of variance, principle component analysis, and gray relational analysis were utilized for data analysis. Within the scope of this study, the following conclusions were derived:
1. There are no gender differences in leisure satisfaction.
2. The more elderly, the higher level of leisure satisfaction.
3. The Leisure satisfaction of the unhealthy elderly increased after 3-month training of Yuan-Ji Dance.
4. The wealthier elderly have higher leisure satisfaction.
5. The more highly educated people have higher leisure satisfaction after 3-month training of Yuan-Ji Dance.
6. People who have proper free time have higher leisure satisfaction than those who have less or too much free time.
7. The people with more sleep (6-8 hrs) have higher leisure satisfaction than who sleep less (1-2 hrs; 3-5 hrs).
8. The weight, blood pressure, flexibility, and rest heart rate of the subjects are significantly improved after the training of Yuan-Ji Dance (p<.05).
9. Leisure Satisfaction Scales before and after the test are positively correlated(r=.87).
10. Fitness items before and after the test are negatively correlated (r= -.78).
11. Ideal fitness function signals and the leisure satisfaction level and exercise are not significantly correlated.
