As for the process of change by the stages ofchange in exercise behaviors, it showed statistically significant differences in behavioral strategies (F=7.641,p<.001). In decisional balance, pros (F=0.66, p=.620) showed statistical significance, with higher pros in all stagesexcept pre-contemplation. Self-efficacy was also statistically significant (F=6.25, p<.001), especially in the maintenancestage.
