The purpose of this research is to provide basic data suggesting the direction of disabled taekwondo player's healthy leisure activity through the analysis on actual status of disabled taekwondo players' leisure activity. The subject was 41 maleㆍfemale players participating in the 32th national athlete meet for the disabled. Data of this research was analyzed by SPSS WIN 18.0 program. For the concrete statistical method, frequency analysis and cross analysis were done so as to examine general characteristics of research subject and differences of awareness on leisure activity. To examine interests in leisure activity and differences of satisfaction, t-test and one-way Anova were conducted. And, a positive analysis was verified in significance standard p<.05, p<.01, p<.001. As a result of Scheffe method as a post-hoc test, following conclusions were obtained.
First, interests in leisure activity were higher as the time of participation in contest was higher and they learned taekwondo because they want to do. For the motives of participation in leisure activity, main factors were pleasure of life, relief of stress and emotional stability. Satisfaction for leisure activity was generally more than medium level, 3 scores. What are the most necessary for leisure activity were leisure of time, money(costs), friends to enjoy together and facility/location. Obstacles of leisure activity were insufficient money(costs), insufficient time, insufficient location/facility, so they had an awareness similar to the necessary of leisure activity. Therefore, players who have lots of times to participate in taekwondo contest and learned taekwondo because they wanted to do can be the group with active tendency. And, active group showed high demands of interests and satisfaction in leisure activity.
Second, costs of monthly leisure activity were increased as current grade was higher and the number of participation in contest was more. Daily taekwondo training time was longer as they were women and the number of participation in contest was more. Daily leisure time of weekdays was longer as the number of participation in contest was more. Leisure time of weekends and holidays was less than 4 hours in more than half players. For the location of leisure activity, male players preferred leisure sports center and internet cafe and female players preferred leisure sports center and shopping/department store. Especially, group with lot of times of participation in contest showed long training time, much leisure activity time and high activity costs. It means disabled taekwondo players participating in many times showed long activity time of taekwondo, but participated in various leisure activities.
Third, for the form of leisure activity, they mainly preferred rest/sleeping and leisure sports. For the favorite sports as leisure activities, male players preferred soccer, basketball and swimming and female players preferred soccer, inline skating and balling. For the people they enjoy leisure activity together, there were friends, colleagues and alone in may cases. Therefore, there were various activities preferred by gender.
Fourth, for the activation measures of leisure activity, there were leisure of time, facility/location and cultivation of professional instructor in order. Therefore, leisure of time was insufficient as a factor which is the most necessary for leisure activity and hinders leisure activity. So, activity program which can be approached easily around us on weekdays and holidays should be developed.
