本研究之主要目的在驗證元極舞者之運動休閒參與程度、心流體驗與生活滿意之間的影響關係，以及不同背景變項元極舞者在運動休閒參與程度、心流體驗與生活滿意度之差異情形。以嘉義市社區五個元極舞練習場之參加者作為研究對象。統計分析方法包括描述統計、因素分析、t檢定、單因子變異數分析及結構方程模式。本研究結果發現休閒運動參與程度無法直接影響生活滿意，而休閒運動的參與程度是先透過影響心流體驗再間接影響生活滿意，而且發現心流體驗是一個重要的中介變項。在背景變項方面發現，46~64 歲與65歲以上的參與者在參與程度上明顯高於45歲以下的參與者。身體健康狀況屬於非常好的比良好及還好者有顯著較高的生活滿意，而良好又比還好者有顯著較高的生活滿意，從上意謂者身體健康狀況越佳的會比狀況愈差的參與者有較高的生活滿意。以結果可提供未來相關研究參考。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between the leisure sport involvement, flow experience and life satisfaction among Yuan-Ji dancers and to examine their relations in terms of different background variables. The participants consist of Yuan-Ji Dance centers at five communities in Chia-yi city. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and structural equation modeling are adopted in this study for data analyses. The major findings of the research are summarized as follow. The leisure sport involvement does not have a direct effect on life satisfaction, but an indirect one on it. It is shown that this indirect effect is contributed through flow experience. The flow experience is found to play an important role as mediator between leisure sport involvement and life satisfaction. In terms of the background variables, it is indicated that participants aged from 46 to 64 and those aged more than 65 have significantly higher involvements than participants aged below 45. Moreover, people in excellent health conditions have significantly higher life satisfaction than those in good and fair ones. Meanwhile, people in good health conditions maintain better life satisfaction than those in fair ones. Therefore, it can be concluded that participants with better health conditions experience higher life satisfaction than those with poorer conditions. Finally, conclusions are provided for future related research.
