Abstract
Physical activity (PA) declines with age, with chronic health conditions a contributing factor. Exercise motivation (EM), a factor of PA adherence, may be promoted through community program participation. The purpose was to investigate the effect of health conditions and community program participation on PA and EM. Surveys comprising of demographics, physical activity (PASE), and exercise motivation (BREQ-2), were distributed. Significant differences were found for PA between community program participants with and without a health condition. A significant main effect for health condition existed on several subscales of EM: identified regulation and intrinsic regulation, and for obesity on amotivation, identified regulation, and intrinsic regulation. Significant differences existed between community exercise program participants (N = 77) and non-participants (N = 145) for amotivation (p < 0.001), identified regulation (p < 0.001), and intrinsic regulation (p < 0.001). The presence of a health condition appears to impact EM. Community program participation positively influenced EM, potentially negating the effect of health condition.
体育锻炼(PA)会随着年龄的增长而减少,其中慢性疾病是一个诱因。运动动机(EM)是坚持体育锻炼的一个因素,可以通过参与社区项目得到促进。研究的目的是调查健康状况和社区项目参与对 PA 和 EM 的影响。调查内容包括人口统计学、体力活动(PASE)和运动动机(BREQ-2)。结果发现,有健康状况和没有健康状况的社区项目参与者在体育锻炼方面存在显著差异。健康状况对运动动机的几个分量表:识别调节和内在调节,以及肥胖对非运动动机、识别调节和内在调节,都有明显的主效应。社区锻炼计划参与者(N = 77)和非参与者(N = 145)之间在动机方面存在显著差异(p p p p)。
