The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the perceived physical health status of Korean adolescents, adults, and elderly adults and their frequency, intensity, time, and duration of exercise. In 2012, 1,144 adolescents (under 18 years old), 6,474 adults (19-64 years old), and 1,382 elderly adults (over 65 years old) participated in the Korean Survey on Citizens' Sports Participation Project (N = 9,000). The association between self-reported health status and exercise was assessed using multivariate logistic regression analyses, controlling for sex and age. The study found that the health status of adolescents showed little or no association with the frequency, intensity, time, or duration of exercise. However, the health status of adults and elderly Koreans was associated with the frequency, intensity, time, and duration of exercise. The physical condition and health status of adolescents was better than that of adults and the elderly, many of whom had declining health. Our findings show the need for exercise-promotion programs customized for particular age groups. The limitations and strengths of the study are discussed, as well as the implications for future research and managerial applications for promoting exercise in each age group.
本研究的目的是考察韩国青少年、成年人及老年人的自我感知身体健康状况与其运动频率、强度、时间和时长之间的关系。2012年，1144名青少年（18岁以下）、6474名成年人（19 - 64岁）和1382名老年人（65岁以上）参与了韩国公民体育参与项目调查（样本量N = 9000）。采用多变量逻辑回归分析评估自我报告的健康状况与运动之间的关联，并对性别和年龄进行了控制。研究发现，青少年的健康状况与运动频率、强度、时间或时长几乎没有关联。然而，韩国成年人和老年人的健康状况与运动频率、强度、时间和时长有关联。青少年的身体状况和健康状况优于成年人和老年人，后两者中许多人的健康状况在下降。我们的研究结果表明，需要针对特定年龄组定制运动促进项目。讨论了本研究的局限性和优势，以及对未来研究的启示和在各年龄组促进运动的管理应用。
