Purpose: In this study, we investigated group characteristics such as purpose, motivation, and perceivedhealth status of adults who participated in exercise across various periods and also describe exercise guidancestrategies to improve exercise participation and adherence based on the results of the survey and findingsof previous studies.
Methods: The study included 69 participants who underwent short- or long-term exercise. Participants wereprovided a mixed questionnaire containing optional questions regarding the purpose of exercise participationand descriptive questions regarding their motivation for exercise participation. Perceived health status wasmeasured using a General Health Questionnaire.
Results: Participants indicated muscle training (37.5%) and physical strength improvement (30.15%) as themain 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 anegative correlation (R=-0.27) in contrast to exercise time per day (R=0.14) and the number of exercisesessions 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 duringexercise coaching and that gentle guidance methods including goal setting should be used to improve exercisepersistence.
