Abstract


The present study is a quantitative, cross-sectional, synchronic, and descriptive research based on the hypothesis that sports and related physical activities help students’ academic performance. The study also investigated the correlation among students’ exercise habits (exercise, sports, physical activity), study habits, and their average grade points. For the present study, data were collected from 253 senior high school and college students who were studying at two vocational high schools, one non-vocational high school, and one university in New Taipei City areas, Taiwan. Results of exercise habits: Out of 253 students, 77 (30%) students did exercise 3 and above times per week, 136 (54%) students did sports and related physical activities 1-2 times per week, the remaining 40 (16%) students never did sports and physical activities. Regarding study habits, out of 253 students, 30% of students reviewed or studied 3 times and above at home. While 121 (48%) students reviewed or studied 1-2 times per week, 77 (30%) of students never studied at home. Another interesting finding was the difference in study habits between those students who did regular exercise (exercise, sports, related physical activities) and those who never did. Out of 253 students, 77 of them did regular exercise (3 times and above per week) and another 40 students never did any kind of exercise. Results of study habits: Among the 77 students who did regular sports or physical activities, 39% of students reviewed or studied above 3 times per week compared to only 10% who reviewed or studied 3-4 times per week among the 40 students. Another 39% of students among the 77 students reviewed or studied 1-2 times per week compared to 30% of students reviewing or studying among the 40 non-exercise students. Among the 77 exercise groups, the remaining 22% of them never reviewed or studied at home compared to a big 60% of students who never reviewed or studied among the non-exercise group.

本研究是一項定量的、橫向的、同步的描述研究。基於的假設是:運動競賽(sports)和運動相關活動對於學生的在校成績會有幫助。本研究同時也調查學生運動習慣(包含訓練,任何型態的運動,或體能活動),唸書習慣,和他們學期平均成績三者之間的相關程度。關於本次研究的數據資料蒐集來自於台灣新北地區253名高中生與大學生,涵蓋2所技職學校,1所普通高中,以及1所大學。從運動習慣的結果顯示:253名學生中,77名(30%)學生每週鍛煉3次及以上,136名(54%)學生每週進行1-2次體育及相關體育活動,其餘40名(16% )學生們從未參加過體育運動和體育活動。在讀書習慣方面:253名學生中,30%的學生在家複習或讀書3次及以上。雖然 121 名 (48%) 學生每周復習或讀書 1-2 次,但 77 名 (30%) 學生從未在家學習。另一個有趣的發現是那些經常運動(鍛煉、運動、相關體育活動)的學生和那些從不運動的學生之間的有念書習慣的差異。在 253 名學生中,77 名定期運動的學生(每週 3 次及以上),另外 40 名學生從未進行任何鍛煉。比較兩組學生之間學習習慣的結果發現:在經常參加體育活動的 77 名學生中,39% 的學生每周復習或學習 3 次以上,而在 40 名學生中,只有 10% 的學生每周復習或學習 3-4 次。 77 名學生中有 39% 的學生每周復習或學習 1-2 次,而 40 名不運動學生中這一比例為 30%。在77名運動組中,剩下22%的人從未在家複習或學習過,相比之下,非運動組中有60%的學生從未在家複習或學習過
