The purpose of this study was to understand the association between the exercise passion and exercise dependence in the middle and old age exercisers and explore the difference between exercise passion and exercise dependence at various background variables (age, and exercise history). The number of the participants in this study, the exercisers from several sports grounds and parks in Taipei City, was 300, including 162 males and 138 females. Their average age was 47.5. The background information, exercise passion measurement and exercise independence measurement were applied as the study tools. The data were treated using statistic analyses, such as product-moment correlation, canonical correlation, one-way ANOVA, and independent samples t-test. As to exercise passion, the results showed that obsessive passion and harmonious passion correlated positively with the various dimensions of exercise dependence. The analysis results of canonical correlation correlated through the first group of canonical correlation principally. The continuance of exercise dependence was much more when the amount of obsessive passion was higher. The exercise passion and exercise dependence of the exercisers did not differ along with age. As to exercise dependence, withdrawal, lack of control, time, intention effect, and reduction in other activities differed at “exercise history” significantly. Withdrawal, lack of control, time, and reduction in other activities in the exercisers with an exercise history of over eleven years were higher than those in the exercisers with an exercise history of 1~5 years. Lack of control, time, and reduction in other activities in the exercisers with an exercise history of 6~10 years were higher than those in the exercisers with an exercise history of 1~5 years. At last, discussions and recommendations were submitted pertaining to the results.
