The purpose of this study was to investigate the exercise psychosocial factors, body image and regular exercise behavior of junior high school students, and to further examine their relationships. By using a stratified cluster sampling method, 377 valid samples (response rate 98.95%) of the seventh and eighth grade students in one Taipei junior high school were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed with t test, chi-square test and logistic regression. The main results of this research are summarized as follows: 1. The regular exercise rate of males was higher than that of females. 2. Self-efficacy, perceived benefits, social support, and sport enjoyment reported by those who did regular exercise were significantly higher than those who did not do regular exercise. On the other hand, the perceived barriers for exercise of those who did not do regular exercise were higher than that of those who did regular exercise. 3. Among males, body image such as appearance, physical and health evaluation, physical orientation, health orientation and body satisfaction of those who did regular exercise were higher than those who did not do regular exercise. Among females, physical evaluation, physical and health orientation of those who did regular exercise were higher than those who did not do regular exercise. 4. Adjusted for background variables, the most important predictor of male regular exercise was perceived self-efficacy for exercise (OR=3.09, 95% C.I.= 1.94~4.93). However, health orientation was the important predictor (OR=3.09, 95% C.I.= 1.06~3.66) of female regular exercise after adjusted for background variables. |
