Abstract

Abstract This study examined the self efficacy and physical activity enjoyment, and their possible associations with body mass index (BMI) and gender between university students. The sample was comprised of 173 participants, 86 males and 87 females ranging in age from 18 to 32 years. The participants completed the Self-efficacy Scale and the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale. Analysis of data revealed there were no significant differences in both physical activity enjoyment and self-efficacy scores for genders ( p> 0.05), while there was a significant difference in BMI for gender (p< 0.05). There were no significant differences for the physical activity enjoyment ( p >0.05), while there were significant differences between self-efficacy ( p< 0.05) and BMI levels according to physical activity participation ( p< 0.05). These differences show that higher physical activity enjoyment and self-efficacy levels affect participation in physical activity and it would lead to ideal BMI levels for university students.

土耳其大学生自我效能感、体育活动享受与BMI状况

摘要本研究探讨了大学生自我效能感、体育活动享受感及其与身体质量指数(BMI)和性别的关系。样本包括173名参与者，86名男性和87名女性，年龄从18岁到32岁不等。参与者完成了自我效能感量表和体育活动享受量表。数据分析显示，体育活动享受和自我效能得分在性别上无显著差异(p< 0.05)，而BMI在性别上有显著差异(p< 0.05)。体育活动参与率与自我效能感、BMI水平的差异有统计学意义(p< 0.05)，体育活动参与率与自我效能感的差异有统计学意义(p< 0.05)。这些差异表明，较高的体育活动享受和自我效能水平会影响体育活动的参与，从而导致大学生达到理想的BMI水平。
