Little is known about the effectiveness of self-determination theory (SDT), a representative motivational theory, on exercise domain in older adults. This feasibility study used quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of a 13-month group exercise program applying SDT-based motivational strategies on exercise adherence, physical fitness, and quality of life, and to explore factors affecting exercise adherence in South Korean older adults (N = 18). Exercise attendance rate was high (82.52%). There were significant differences in aerobic endurance (p < .001), lower body strength (p < .05), dynamic balance (p < .001), and perceived social functioning (p < .05) at 13 months compared with baseline. Factors affecting exercise adherence were related to the SDT-based motivational strategies. These results support the importance of health professionals applying SDT-based motivational strategies to exercise programs to help facilitate motivation for participation and to promote physical fitness and quality of life in older adults.
关于代表性动机理论——自我决定理论（SDT）在老年人运动领域的有效性，人们所知甚少。这项可行性研究采用定量和定性方法，评估了一项为期13个月的团体运动计划的有效性，该计划应用基于自我决定理论的动机策略来提高运动依从性、身体素质和生活质量，并探索影响韩国老年人（N = 18）运动依从性的因素。运动出席率很高（82.52%）。与基线相比，13个月时的有氧耐力（p < .001）、下肢力量（p < .05）、动态平衡（p < .001）和感知社会功能（p < .05）有显著差异。影响运动依从性的因素与基于自我决定理论的动机策略有关。这些结果支持了健康专业人员将基于自我决定理论的动机策略应用于运动计划的重要性，以帮助促进参与动机，并提高老年人的身体素质和生活质量。
