Abstract

BACKGROUND

The purpose of the study was to compare the motives for participating in physical activity (PA) through the different types of co-curricular activities chosen by health sciences undergraduate students at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Malaysia.

METHODS

The participants were university students at USM's Health Campus, who were invited to volunteer and complete two measures: a demographic form, including the types of co-curricular activities in which the students chose to enrol (sports, uniform and art), and the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS).

RESULTS

A total of 588 university students (female = 79.1%, male = 20.9%) with a mean age of 19.77 (SD = 1.39) participated in the study. The results showed significant differences in the motives of affiliation ( < 0.001), appearance ( = 0.008) and physical condition ( = 0.010) across the types of co-curricular activities in which the students participated. The students who enrolled in sports generally showed higher motives of affiliation, appearance and physical condition for participating in PA than other types of co-curricular activities.

CONCLUSION

The study findings can provide further insights into the motives for participating in PA among health sciences students and encouragement for students to integrate PA into their daily routines.

摘要

背景

本研究的目的是比较马来西亚理科大学（USM）健康科学专业本科生通过选择的不同类型课外活动参与体育活动（PA）的动机。

方法

参与者是USM健康校区的大学生，他们被邀请自愿参与并完成两项测评：一份人口统计学表格，包括学生选择参加的课外活动类型（体育、制服团体和艺术），以及体育活动与休闲动机量表（PALMS）。

结果

共有588名大学生（女性 = 79.1%，男性 = 20.9%）参与了该研究，平均年龄为19.77岁（标准差 = 1.39）。结果显示，学生参与的不同类型课外活动在归属动机（< 0.001）、外表动机（= 0.008）和身体状况动机（= 0.010）方面存在显著差异。参加体育活动的学生在参与PA的归属动机、外表动机和身体状况动机方面通常比其他类型的课外活动表现更高。
