In order to find out participation pattern and characteristics of KMA cadets` voluntary extracurricular physical activities in accordance with a three-dimensional variables, this research was conducted through Enthnographic analysis, a kind of qualitative method. Firstly, despite the fact that there is a comprehensive range of physical exercise facilities, the cadets prefer soccer and basketball with low flexibility value (regulations, special equipment, and restricted conditions). They also prefer weight training and swimming that are easily accessible. Therefore, the participation pattern has turned out to be limited. Secondly, since voluntary extracurricular physical activities at KMA. can be performed within a certain period of time (from 17:00 to 18:00), strictness concerned with time and climate variables is a major deterrent for cadets usage of such time. Especially, the preferred activities differ from season to season along with spatial limitation (lots of cadets trying to do the same physical activity). Thirdly, since problems with skill level is related to individual satisfaction, they put a significant amount of effect upon the participation pattern of future physical activities. As a result, the cadets concentrate on activities that do not require high level of technical skills such as soccer, basketball, swimming, and weight training. Also, female cadets concentrate on activities that can be performed alone such as swimming and weight training. In sum, the participation pattern of KMA cadets during their voluntary extracurricular physical activities has turned out to be limited due to the fact that the infrastructure for physical activities were not put to its maximum use.
