| 摘要: | 近年來，台灣面臨人口高齡化，銀髮族的「保健」問題亦是必須面對的課題，而「運動」可以有效地降低人的老化速度、減少疾病的罹患，在心理方面亦有助於降低憂慮、紓解生活壓力、增進幸福感及提昇生活品質，然而老年人的生理與身體機能老化的銀髮族，無法適合西方高強度的運動。是以，東方全身心調養養生觀點的運動方式自然就較為適合有歲數之銀髮族，而外丹功是氣功養生類型中的一種運動方式，利用氣來強化肉體與精神雙方的健康法，亦即培養自己的氣，使其在內循環，促進氣血的流通，讓元氣增加，達到健身袪病之效果。然而，外丹功是門深厚、艱深的運動，必須要透過活動參與者之持續參與，方可有更高境界之領悟。
而本研究欲透過認真休閒特質、休閒涉入與心流體驗之理論探討，以了解如何使外丹功養生休閒者可以產生持續涉入之行為，又因過去文獻對於活動參與者之認真休閒特質、休閒涉入與心流體驗，認為彼此會具有一定程度之相關性，因此，本研究以外丹功養生休閒者為研究對象進行認真休閒特質、休閒涉入與心流體驗之研究。並透過敘述性統計分析、因素分析、相關分析與徑路分析等方法進行研究之發現，而本研究結果顯示外丹功養生活動參與者具有認真休閒活動之特質，且更重要的結果發現，外丹功養生活動參與者的認真休閒活動之特質對於心流體驗之產生必須藉由「休閒涉入之活動」方可進行轉化，才能有效使參與者發生持續參與的情形。
Taiwan has been facing aging population in recent years, the elder’s “Health Care” is a must issue to confront with. While “Exercise” can effectively slow down human beings’ aging speed, decrease suffering from illness, and help reduce anxiety, relieve living pressure, increase happiness as well as improve the quality of life in psychological field.
