目標設定理論自1968年由Locke提出之後，已成功的被應用到各行各業，也都被證實是一種非常有效的激勵員工、提昇工作士氣、增加產量、及提昇運動成績的重要方法。 然而，將目標設定理論應用到健身運動方面卻尚未多見，本文嘗試以文獻探討的方式，介紹如何將目標設定理論應用到健身運動方面，並舉實例說明之。希望對愛好運動者能有所幫助。

The goal setting theory has been successfully applied to each and every enterprise in various industries since Locke advanced it in 1968. This theory has been verified to be the most effective and important approach to encourage the employees, boost the working morale, increase the productivity and even raise the performance of sport. However, it is rarely to see the goal setting theory being applied to the exercise. In view of this, this paper hereby seeks to introduce how the goal setting theory could be applied to the exercise by adopting the method of literature reviews and takes the examples for supplementary explanations, and ultimately expects to be beneficial to the exercise enthusiasts somewhat.
