Students of the Taipei National University of the Arts will become important artists in our country in the future. In their process of learning professional knowledge and skills, they need recreational sports more than other students to get physical fitness and relax their body and mind. However, their physical fitness test scores are low, it shows that many of them are lack of sufficient recreational sports. Therefore, probing into the obstacle factors of recreational sports for the students should be a task of concern in order to get rid of the constraints. The method of this study is called exploration factor analysis. The obstacle factors of recreational sports for the students are divided into seven categories. The results show that the top three obstacle factors are financial incomes, studies, and exercise physiology. When analyzed by gender, there are more female students whose constraints are financial incomes and outer factors than male students. When referring to how one’s studies affect the motives of doing recreational sports, students from the School of Theatre Arts are most affected followed by students from the School of music. Students from the School of Dance are least affected. However, there are more teachers in the School of Dance not supporting their students in doing recreational sports than teachers in other schools.
