The aim of this study was to explore how and why participants in structured exercise intervention programs continue or stop exercising after the program is finished. We conducted four focus group interviews with four groups of middle-aged and elderly men (total n = 28) who had participated in exercise interventions involving playing either a team sport (football) or a more individually focused activity (spinning and crossfit). Our results show that different social, organizational and material structures inherent in the different activities shape the subjects' enjoyment of exercise participation, as well as their intention and ability to continue being active. In conclusion, team sport activities seem to be intrinsically motivating to the participants through positive social interaction and play. They are therefore more likely to result in exercise continuation than activities that rely primarily on extrinsic motivation such as the expectation of improved health and well-being.
本研究的目的是探讨参加结构化运动干预项目的参与者在项目结束后继续或停止锻炼的方式及原因。我们对四组参与过运动干预的中老年男性（共28人）进行了四次焦点小组访谈，这些运动干预包括团队运动（足球）或更注重个人的活动（动感单车和混合健身）。我们的研究结果表明，不同活动中固有的不同社会、组织和物质结构塑造了受试者对运动参与的享受程度，以及他们继续保持活跃的意愿和能力。总之，团队运动活动似乎通过积极的社交互动和游戏对参与者具有内在激励作用。因此，与主要依赖外在动机（如期望改善健康和幸福感）的活动相比，团队运动活动更有可能导致运动的持续进行。
