This study aims to explore the relationship between recreational experiences and health-promoting lifestyles among hikers in Yangmingshan National Park. Using a questionnaire survey method, data was collected from 217 valid responses from adults aged 18 and over who had visited the park for hiking, with a response rate of 94.76%. The questionnaire covered demographic characteristics, a recreational experience scale, and a health-promoting lifestyle scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Results indicated that respondents were predominantly married women aged 50-59, with most holding a college degree and working full-time. Among recreational experiences, ''sensory'' and ''emotional'' dimensions scored the highest, reflecting a rich sensory enjoyment, while ''action'' scored the lowest, indicating lower engagement. For health-promoting lifestyle, ''self-actualization'' and ''nutrition'' scored highest, while ''exercise and leisure'' scored the lowest. Demographic analysis revealed that variables such as gender, marital status, and age had limited impact on recreational experience, but factors like mode of transportation, hiking companions, hiking duration, and social group participation had significant effects on various dimensions. In terms of health-promoting lifestyle, gender significantly influenced ''exercise and leisure,'' marital status affected ''self-actualization,'' age impacted ''health responsibility,'' and both place of residence and transportation choice influenced ''interpersonal support.'' There were significant correlations between recreational experience and sub-dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle. The ''action'' dimension of recreational experience positively impacted health-promoting lifestyles, suggesting that ''action'' plays an essential role in fostering healthy lifestyles. Discussion and Recommendations: This study confirms that recreational experiences effectively promote health-oriented lifestyles, providing empirical insights into the impact of hiking activities on healthy living. The findings offer valuable references for policy development and facility improvements. Future research could further examine the sustained impact of long-term hiking on physical and mental health. |
