The purpose of this study was to examine the fit of an unidimensional model, Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale(PACES), to data from a Korean adults sporting population using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), to test whether PACES has a possibility as a implement to measure the enjoyment of physical activities for Korean. Subjects were 250 sport center participants(mean age 40.6 years), exercising in swimming, golf, fitness, bowling and Aerobic. Subjects were instructed to rate how they felt at the moment about the physical activity they had performed. The results of this study demonstrated that PACES was inappropriate inventory to measure Korean`s physical activity enjoyment. The findings also indicated that PACES had problems for the model using this particular sample. This lack of support for unidimensional structure of PACES underscores the need to resolve several research questions related to measurement of enjoyment, specifically, the problem of disentangling antecedents from the experience of emotion.
