Purpose: To explore the difference and relationship among gender, age, exercise-age and education level in adult exercise motivation, participate behavior and exercise self-efficacy. Methods: The participants consisted of 255 adults (age range = 18~60, mean age = 27.66 ± 10.74) from two Badminton Center in Taichung City (Dong-Yuan Badminton Center and Sung-Chu Badminton Center). The measurements included Exercise Participation Motivation Scale, Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale and exercise behavior. Statistical analysis used independent samples t test and ANOVA analysis to explore the difference between gender, age, exercise-age and education level in exercise participation motivation, exercise participation behavior and exercise self-efficacy. Using hierarchical linear regression analysis to predict exercise behavior by ages, exercise-age, education, exercise motivation and exercise self efficacy. Results: On adult exercise behavior and exercise self-efficacy, their exercise age more than 5 years was better than less 5 years. On adult exercise motivation, exercise behavior and exercise self -efficacy, their education level under college was better than higher university. The 41 year -old group got the best score in exercise self-efficacy. The 21-30 year-old group got the best score in exercise participation motivation. The 31-40 group got the best score in exercise behavior. After controlled age, exercise age and education level, exercise self-efficacy, exercise age and motivation-stress/sentiment management predicted significantly exercise behavior. , in which the highest predictive variable was exercise self-efficacy. Conclusions: Exercise age, exercise self-efficacy and motivation-stress/sentiment management could affect adult exercise participate behavior. |
