This study aimed to verify the influence of autonomy and self-control as psychological factors on the changes in lifestyles of inactive college students by participating in regular exercise. A total of 188 university students in Seoul, Korea, taking physical fitness classes for 5 weeks held three times a week participated in the surveys. Surveys were conducted in the first session (T1) and 15th session (T2) of the classes. Autonomy in exercise participation and self-control were measured at T1, and healthy lifestyle was measured at both T1 and T2. A paired -test was used to measure the changes in healthy lifestyle between two time points, and hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine the effect of autonomy in exercise participation and self-control measured at T1 on the healthy lifestyle score at T2. According to the analysis, participants' healthy lifestyles were improved with a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-exercise. Furthermore, the levels of autonomy and self-control before the fitness classes positively influenced the participants' healthy lifestyle after the classes even when the influence of healthy lifestyle measured before the classes was controlled. Thus, it was confirmed that autonomy for participation and self-control are important to change one's healthy lifestyle through regular exercise participation.
本研究旨在验证自主性和自我控制作为心理因素，对不活跃大学生参与定期运动后生活方式改变的影响。共有 188 名在韩国首尔参加为期 5 周、每周 3 次的健身课程的大学生参与了调查。调查分别在课程的第 1 次（T1）和第 15 次（T2）进行。在 T1 时测量了运动参与自主性和自我控制，在 T1 和 T2 时测量了健康的生活方式。使用配对检验来衡量健康生活方式在两个时间点之间的变化，然后进行层次回归分析，以确定 T1 时测量的运动参与自主性和自我控制对 T2 时健康生活方式得分的影响。分析结果显示，参与者的健康生活方式在锻炼前后有显著改善。此外，即使在控制了课程前健康生活方式的影响后，健身课程前的自主性和自我控制水平仍然积极影响着课程后的健康生活方式。因此，通过定期运动参与，自主性和自我控制对于改变健康的生活方式是重要的。
