Evidence shows that people with strong physical activity habits tend to engage in more physical activity than those with weaker habits, but little is known about how habit influences specific types of physical activity. This study aimed to test whether mean level of habit strength and magnitude of the habit strength - behaviour association differed as a function of physical activity modality. Participants (N = 120; M age = 25 years, 75% female) who reported engaging in organised sport separately reported their habit strength for organised sport and leisure time physical activity as well as the time they spent engaging in these physical activity behaviours. Means comparisons and multilevel modelling revealed that people had significantly stronger habit for organised sport than for leisure time physical activity. Crucially, no significant difference was found in the magnitude of the sport-habit and leisure-habit link. Post-hoc analyses revealed that habit was stronger for team sport compared to individual sport, but that there was no significant difference in sport-habit association between team and individual sports. Research should therefore focus on identifying the characteristics of team sports-based activity that are particularly conducive to habit formation as a precursor to developing interventions to promote performance of leisure time activity in a way that would attain such characteristics.
有证据表明，有强烈体育活动习惯的人往往比习惯较弱的人参与更多的体育活动，但对于习惯如何影响特定类型的体育活动却知之甚少。本研究旨在测试习惯强度的平均水平以及习惯强度与行为之间的关联程度是否会因体育活动方式的不同而有所差异。参与有组织体育运动的参与者（N = 120；年龄中位数 = 25岁，75%为女性）分别报告了他们参与有组织体育运动和休闲时间体育活动的习惯强度，以及他们花费在这些体育活动行为上的时间。均值比较和多层次建模显示，人们参与有组织体育运动的习惯明显强于休闲时间体育活动的习惯。至关重要的是，在运动习惯和休闲习惯的关联程度上未发现显著差异。事后分析表明，团队运动的习惯比个人运动的习惯更强，但团队运动和个人运动在运动习惯关联方面没有显著差异。因此，研究应侧重于确定基于团队运动的活动中特别有利于习惯形成的特征，以此作为开发干预措施的前提，以促进休闲时间活动的开展，使其具备这些特征。
