Investigation on the Characteristics of Motivation, Adherence and Self-perceived Health Status in Exercise Participant Group

In this study, we investigated group characteristics such as purpose, motivation, and perceived health status of adults who participated in exercise across various periods and also describe exercise guidance strategies to improve exercise participation and adherence based on the results of the survey and findings of previous studies.

Methods:

The study included 69 participants who underwent short- or long-term exercise. Participants were provided a mixed questionnaire containing optional questions regarding the purpose of exercise participation and descriptive questions regarding their motivation for exercise participation. Perceived health status was measured using a General Health Questionnaire.

Results:

Participants indicated muscle training (37.5%) and physical strength improvement (30.15%) as the main purpose of exercise, and the instructor (26.74%), self-realization (24.42%), and educational environment (13.95%) as motivators for exercise. Perceived health status severity and exercise persistence showed a negative correlation (R=-0.27) in contrast to exercise time per day (R=0.14) and the number of exercise sessions per week (R=0.07).

Conclusion:

Similar to the findings of previous studies, our study highlights that in contrast to external factors, exercise motivation for adherence should focus on improved intrinsic factors such as encouragement during exercise coaching and that gentle guidance methods including goal setting should be used to improve exercise persistence.
