Abstract

A comparative approach was used to determine, relative to a broader college student population, 1) the differences in music majors' exercise behaviors and 2) motivation to engage in regular exercise. Participants consisted of 115 non-music and 99 music college majors. Music majors reported engaging in significantly less global (work and leisure) physical activity, leisure physical activity, and moderate intensity exercise. There were no significant differences between music and non-music majors' weekly exercise frequency and engagement in light- and strenuous-intensity exercise. Regarding motivation, music majors endorsed stronger amotivation towards exercise, while non-music majors made stronger endorsements of three more self-determined motivations: identified regulation, integrated regulation, and intrinsic motivation to experience pleasurable sensations. No differences were observed for intrinsic motivation to learn or to accomplish. All participants failed to exceed the threshold for recommended physical activity, but music majors were even less engaged in moderate exertion exercise and overall leisure activities. Future studies are needed to assess how best to increase music majors' exercise engagement.

音乐专业学生相对于其他专业学生的运动行为与动机
采用比较的方法来确定,相对于更广泛的大学生群体,1)音乐专业学生的运动行为的差异和2)从事定期运动的动机。参与者包括115名非音乐专业的学生和99名音乐专业的学生。据报道,音乐专业的学生参与全球(工作和休闲)体育活动、休闲体育活动和中等强度运动的人数明显减少。音乐专业和非音乐专业的学生在每周运动频率和参与轻强度和高强度运动方面没有显著差异。在动机方面,音乐专业的学生支持更强的运动动机,而非音乐专业的学生更支持三种自我决定的动机:识别调节、综合调节和体验愉悦感觉的内在动机。在学习或完成的内在动机方面,没有观察到差异。所有的参与者都没有超过推荐的体力活动的门槛,但音乐专业的学生从事适度运动和整体休闲活动的人数甚至更少。未来的研究需要评估如何最好地提高音乐专业学生的锻炼参与度。
