完賽就是勝利！休閒型鐵人之參賽歷程體驗

Whoever Finishes Will Be a Winner! Recreational Triathletes’ Experiences of Competition Participation

本研究針對休閒型鐵人三項運動參與者參賽歷程的體驗進行探究，藉由文獻探討及其他參與者看法之連結，以求更深入描繪與詮釋此一戶外休閒運動現象。為達研究目的，採用質性研究取向角度切入，以休閒型鐵人共計28位為對象，透過二階段訪談方式（深度訪談、焦點團體訪談）蒐集資料，進而分析歸納。依照訪談所得結果進行編碼與內容分析，歸納出參賽歷程三個階段與九個體驗感受，分別是：階段一、賽前準備，主要概念包括：「認真休閒」、「遊憩專門化」與「動態沉思」；階段二、賽事當下，主要概念有：「疼痛焦慮」、「克服逆境」與「心流體驗」；階段三、完賽之後，有「身體健康」、「正向紓壓」與「生活啟發」三項主要概念。最後，根據上述結果，提出後續研究與管理意涵上之建議，做為未來鐵人三項休閒運動參與推廣之參考。

The purpose of this research was to deeply depict and interpret the phenomena of outdoor recreational sport for recreational triathletes’ experiences of competition-participating process through linking literature review and other participants’ point of views. Qualitative approach was taken to achieve the research purpose. Research participants were 28 recreational triathlon competition finishers. Data were continually collected through two steps by the methods of “in-depth interview” and “focus group interview” and then analyzed content to generalize results. As the results, recreational triathlon participants’ experiences of competition-participating process were concluded for three stages with nine main concepts. Three stages were: 1) “Preparation before competition” with experiences of serious leisure, recreational specialization and active meditation; 2) “During the competition” with experiences of pain and anxiety, overcome the adversity and flow experience; 3) “After the competition” with experiences of in good health, positive relief and inspirations for life. According to the results, suggestions for following researches and implications for management were also provided as reference for promoting future recreational triathlon sport participation.
