The main purpose of this study is to explore the mediating effects of perceived benefits between exercise participation and well-being of the elderly. People aged over 60 were interviewed with a questionnaire. A total of 400 valid questionnaires were collected in a number of parks in Taipei. The survey found that the respondents actively participated in a variety of exercises, and their participation rate was very high. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between exercise frequency and well-being., but exercise intensity and well-being were negatively correlated. The structural equation modeling analysis indicated that the mediating effects of perceived benefits were only found between exercise intensity and well-being. The findings suggested that there was an indirect relationship between exercise intensity and well-being. As a result, the elderly are recommended to take exercise which they perceive as beneficial to them.
