To assess sex/race differences on psychosocial correlates of physical activity among college students.
Survey research protocol.
Students (n=636) exercised an average of 3.5 days per week, with black females being the least active. Across subgroups, health/fitness was rated as the most important motive for exercise, followed by appearance and mental health. Of the correlates, enjoyment and the use of self-management strategies were most strongly associated with activity level. Only 40% were aware that adults should accumulate 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most days (ie, 5) of the week for health benefits.
Findings highlight the importance of teaching self-management skills and fostering exercise enjoyment in health promotion programs for college students.
评估大学生体育活动心理社会关联因素方面的性别/种族差异。
调查研究方案。
636名学生平均每周锻炼3.5天，其中黑人女性锻炼最少。在各亚组中，健康/健身被评为锻炼的最重要动机，其次是外表和心理健康。在相关因素中，享受锻炼和自我管理策略的运用与活动水平关联最为紧密。只有40%的人知道成年人每周大多数日子（即5天）应积累30分钟中等强度体育活动以促进健康。
研究结果凸显了在大学生健康促进项目中教授自我管理技能和培养锻炼乐趣的重要性。
