RESUMO
Objective To analyze the stage characteristics in the exercise behavior improvement of college students and explore the role of Process in the exercise behavior change based on the transtheoretical model, providing basis for the stage-matched intervention for the exercise behavior of college students. Methods There were 932 students who completed the questionnaires, from 5 universities in Shanxi Province were selected by using a stratified random cluster sampling method. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the exercise behavior of college students. Variance analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the difference of the process of with stage of change among college students’ physical exercise. Multivariate variance analysis was used to analyze how personal characteristics affect process of change. Results Among all participants, 89.4% students knew the importance of physical exercise, and 29.4% students were satisfied with their physical exercise condition. The distribution of students’ physical exercise stage showed an inverted U-shape with left-side peak, and there was a significant difference between gender( 2=54.657, P<0.001). There were significant stage characteristics in the process of students' exercise behavior, gender had a significant main effects on mutual aid relation(F=7.400, P=0.07)and conscious control (F=7.778, P=0.005), gender and grade had interaction effects on social release (F=3.614, P=0.013). Conclusions The college students' exercise behavior showed the characteristics of “knowing but not to do”, which conformed to the Transtheoretical model. It is essential to develop targeted phased exercise intervention strategies according to the relationship between change of phase and change of procedure.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the relationship between physical activity ( PA) in college students and self?efficacy,and provide guarantee for improving health education in colleges. Methods International physical ac?tivity questionnaire( IPAQ) ,scales of physical behavior,scales of stage of change in physical exercise behavior,and scales of self?efficacy were used to test 504 students from some of colleges in Zhejiang province. Results Signifi?cantly more males (38.52%) than females (27.27%) were in the high activity tertile (P<0.01); the amount of PA per week in males and females were (4608±872.07)MET and(4361±674.03)MET(P<0.01); the scores of males and females were (3.32±0.44) and(3.04±0.36),(P<0.01). The number of males (35.5%) in maintenance period and period of action is greater than that of females (28.9%). Males had higher self?efficacy and more scores of behavior than females (P<0.05) . There were significant characteristics of PA in their self?efficacy,score of be?havior and stages of change( F=18.38, F=15.08, F=34.71, P<0.01),and a significant correlation between PA and self?efficacy,stages of change and physical exercise behavior ( r=0.336, r=0.36, r=0.46, P<0.01).Conclu?sion Self?efficacy may have important effect on the level of PA. Stages of change and scores of behavior may ex?plain difference of PA between males and females.
RESUMO
Objective The college and university students' physical exercise behavior scale has been de-veloped. Methods Baaed on the theory of planning behavior,after investigation and analysis,a questionnaire was made to test 1180 students from some colleges and universities in Changjiang Delta area. Its reliability and validity was tested,and confirmatory factor analysis was carried out. Results The scale consists of 4 factors: behavioral intention,subjective criterion,cognitive behavior,and integrative attitude. Its retest reliability was 0.920, correla-tion coefficient of the factors between 0.732 and 0.854 ,and the total scale Cronbach α 0.931. The correlated co-efficients between subseales and total scales range 0.455～0.785 ;the IFI, CFI,and NFI fit indices of the four di-mensions were over 0.9 ;RMSEA 0.042. Conclusion The reliability and validity of the scale are suitable as an effective tool to test university students' sports exercise behavior.
