摘要: | 世界衛生組織(2015)指出自1980年以來,世界肥胖症人數增長了近一倍,並預言憂鬱症將在2020年與癌症、愛滋病並列世界三大疾病。然而定期有規律及適度的從事運動可以強化身體機能,對生理與心理健康方面以及疾病的預防、復健及體重的控都有極大的效果,且慢跑對於生理及心理改善都能有很大的助益,亦能使生活品質有所提升,在政府的推動及企業的支持下,路跑風氣正逐年向上成長中。
由於路跑風氣的提升,路跑相關的國內外網站也種類繁多,本研究以國內最大的虛擬運動社群網站「馬拉松世界」中的路跑部份為研究對象,依據Venkatesh et al. (2003)所提出的整合性科技接受模式(UTAUT)為研究架構來探討績效期望、付出期望、社會影響與促成因素等四個構面經由干擾變數作用後對使用意向與使用行為之影響。然而對於行為意向的探討多為以個人生理特徵的影響為主要研究方向,但除了個人生理特徵的影響外尚有認知型態影響,而本研究的對象為路跑虛擬社群網站,以社群意識為認知型態的影響來探討對行為意向的影響,透過問卷調查及資料整理分析,依據結果提出具體建議,提供未來同類型網站使用及推動上有所參考依據,進而提升路跑虛擬社群平台對於增進運動習慣及風氣、增進全民健康的價值。
World Health Organization (2015) indicated that the worldwide population of obe-sity nearly doubled that of 1980 and it also predicted that depression, cancer and AIDS will be three major diseases in the world.
