Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate the effect of a transtheoretical model (TTM)-based physical activity program on the exercise behavior of adolescents using WhatsApp. The study was conducted with high school students (N = 185) in a pre-/posttest, quasi-experimental design. TTM-based text messages were sent to the intervention group (n = 95) over WhatsApp every day for 8 weeks. The intervention group demonstrated more statistically significant progression in the exercising stages of change compared to the control group (n = 90) (χ² = 20.10; p = .00). It was also found that this group had a higher exercising self-efficacy score (t = 2.647; p = .009) and a higher physical activity total metabolic equivalent of task score (Z = -3.521; p = .000). There was no significant difference in BMI and perception of pros and cons (p > .05). The program was found to be effective in terms of recording progress in the exercising stages of change, increasing exercising self-efficacy, and maintaining a physical activity program.

使用 WhatsApp 的体育锻炼计划对青少年锻炼行为的影响。

本研究旨在利用 WhatsApp 展示基于跨理论模型（TTM）的体育锻炼计划对青少年锻炼行为的影响。研究以高中生（185 人）为对象，采用前测/后测的准实验设计。每天通过 WhatsApp 向干预组（95 人）发送基于 TTM 的短信，持续 8 周。与对照组（n = 90）相比，干预组在锻炼变化阶段取得的进展在统计学上更为显著（χ2 = 20.10; p = .00）。研究还发现，该组的锻炼自我效能得分更高（t = 2.647；p = .009），体育锻炼总代谢当量任务得分更高（Z = -3.521；p = .000）。在体重指数和利弊认知方面没有明显差异（p > .05）。研究发现，该计划在记录运动变化阶段的进展、提高运动自我效能感和保持体育锻炼计划方面是有效的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
