The purpose of this study employed the theory of planned behavior as a research framework to analyze the explanatory power of exercise attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on exercise intention among older adults and to obtain insight on exercise behavior among older adults. The study used Ajzen's theory of planning behavior as a basis to compile the "Exercise Behavior Intention Questionnaire of the Older Adults." Results showed that there were significant differences were detected in the exercise intentions of older adults with different subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. This indicated that older adults of greater age have a greater need for companionship from family members and stronger subjective norms. In addition, exercise attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control explained the variance in exercise intention among older adults, verifying the positive explanatory power of these variables on exercise intention in older adults. The study concluded that the theory of planned behavior, improving older adults' exercise attitude alone was insufficient for increasing their exercise behavior intention. In particular, older adults of greater age had greater needs for social support from the main groups, and they required encouragement to enhance their self-efficacy and confidence.
本研究采用计划行为理论作为研究框架，分析了锻炼态度、主观规范和感知行为控制对老年人锻炼意向的解释力，并深入了解老年人的锻炼行为。研究以阿杰恩的计划行为理论为基础，编制了《老年人锻炼行为意向问卷》。结果表明，不同主观规范和感知行为控制的老年人在锻炼意向方面存在显著差异。这表明，年龄较大的老年人更需要家庭成员的陪伴和更强的主观规范。此外，锻炼态度、主观规范和感知行为控制解释了老年人锻炼意向的变化，验证了这些变量对老年人锻炼意向的积极解释力。研究得出结论，计划行为理论认为，仅提高老年人的锻炼态度不足以增加他们的锻炼行为意向。特别是年龄较大的老年人更需要主要群体的社会支持，需要鼓励来增强他们的自我效能感和信心。
