電腦與網路的普及，使網路遊戲成為青少年熱衷的休閒活動。但由於青少年過度沉迷於網路遊戲，也衍生出一些家庭、教育與社會問題。對身心發展處於關鍵期的青少年來說，網路遊戲的持續增加，是否相對剝奪青少年從事其他休閒活動時間，進而影響身心健康?本研究旨在探討國中生網路遊戲涉入程度與健康體適能、學業成就之間的關係。瞭解網路遊戲參與時間的多寡與體適能、學業成就，是否呈現顯著相關。
本研究採問卷調查法，以台南市某私立國中的國三學生為調查研究對象，使用自編的問卷為研究工具。收集有效樣本共422份，所得資料以SPSS 22.0統計軟體執行描述性統計分析、單因子變異數分析、T檢定、卡方檢定、皮爾森相關分析、迴歸分析等統計方法。
本研究發現如下:
1.目前國中生參與網路遊戲的人數高達八成六。
2.男生每週花在網路遊戲的時間顯著高於女生。在柔軟度、肌力與肌耐力和心肺功能的各項成績，女生平均成績較好。
3.網路遊戲涉入與健康體適能呈現顯著負相關。相對於無涉入網路遊戲者，較重度與輕度涉入者的體適能表現皆顯著偏差，特別是肌力與肌耐力和心肺功能。
4.網路遊戲涉入與學業成就呈現顯著負相關。尤其對於較重度的網路涉入者而言，他們的英文與數學成績特別差。
5.家庭休閒活動會影響子女的網路遊戲時間與運動習慣及時間。
本研究最後根據研究結果，提出對學生家長、教育工作人員與未來研究者之若干建議，以作為參考。 With the increasing popularity of computer and Internet, the average teenager spend much of their leisure time playing internet games.
