近年來，隨著經濟及生活水準的提高，國人的健康意識抬頭，運動已是生活的一部分。運動不但能促進健康，更能充實生活的內涵，其中，羽球運動是臺灣民眾最常從事的運動之一，是一項老少咸宜的休閒運動。然而過去的文獻鮮少有同時探討羽球運動的參與動機、休閒效益與生活品質之間的相關研究，而桃園已於103年12月25日正式升格為直轄市，並增設體育局以推動體育工作，故本研究選擇以桃園地區羽球運動愛好者為對象，來探討其參與動機、休閒效益與生活品質之間的關係。本研究採問卷調查法，以桃園地區羽球運動愛好者為對象，回收有效問卷共365份，使用結構方程模式(SEM)作為分析工具。研究結果發現：(1)參與動機對休閒效益有直接影響效果。(2)休閒效益對生活品質有直接影響效果。(3)參與動機對生活品質無顯著影響效果。本研究並依據研究結果提出相關建議供相關單位參酌。
