Stages of Exercise Behavior Change and Perceived
Exercise Benefits/Barriers among University
Students
Yıldırım, A., Taş, H., Hürmeriç-Altunsöz, I.
Middle East Technical University
Introduction
 The health benefits of physical activity (PA) participation are well-documented in
many systematic reviews (Warburton, & Bredin, 2017).
 The World Health Organization recommends that "adults should do at least 150–
300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic PA" (Bull, et al., 2020, p. 1456).
 However, sedentary behaviors are prevalent in many societies. Significantly,
individuals' PA level decreases during university years (Small, Bailey-Davis, Morgan,
& Maggs, 2013).
Introduction
 It is crucial to find ways to support the PA level of university students.
Transtheoretical model is a useful framework for understanding individuals'
behavior changes in healthy habits (Kohl, Murroy, & Salvo, 2019).
 This model indicates that individuals follow a series of stages: precontemplation,
contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance (Marcus & Lewis, 2003).
 Corbin and his colleagues (2014) emphasize that the main aim is to support
individuals progress to the last stage, which might be challenging.
Purpose of the study
 To examine the relationship between stages of exercise behavior change and
perceived exercise benefits/behaviors among university students.
 To examine PA and screen time behaviors among the students.
Research Questions
1. What is the relationship between stages of exercise behavior change and perceived
exercise benefits/barriers among university students?
2. What is the role of physical activity participation on stages of exercise behavior
change and perceived exercise benefits/barriers among university students?
Methods
 This study utilized a descriptive and correlational research design.
 Participants were selected by using a purposeful sampling method.
 66 undergraduate students participated in the study voluntarily (Female = 22, Male
= 44).
Methods
Instrumentation
 Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) (Sechrist, Walker, & Pender, 1987)
 Turkish adaptation of the EBBS was done by Ortabağ, Ceylan, Akyüz, and Bebiş (2010)
 Exercise Stages of Change Questionnaire (ESOCQ) (Marcus & Lewis, 2003)
 Turkish adaptation of ESOCQ was performed by Cengiz, Aşçı, and İnce (2010)
 A demographic information sheet
Methods
Data analysis
 Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 26.
Inferential analysis
 Chi-square test for independence correlation.
 A point-biserial correlation
 An independent t-test
Results
The study results revealed that
 30 students do regular PA
 36 of them do not do regular PA
When considering their stages of change results,
 4 students are in precontemplation stage,
 25 students are in contemplation stage
 13 of them are in preparation stage
 8 of them are in action stage
 16 students are in maintenance stage.
Results
The study results revealed that
 Regular PA participation is significantly related to stages of change levels χ2 (4) =
43.207, p < .05.
 It is found a positive correlation between stages of change and students' score in
the exercise benefits/barriers scale (rpb = .304, n = 66, p <.05).
 Students participating in regular PA (M = 138.53, SD= 12.69) had high score in the
exercise benefits scale than the students who do not (M = 129.86, SD= 15.57), t
(64) = -2.448, p <.05, r2 = .08.
Conclusion
 These findings might be useful to create policies in order to track university
students’ perceptions about physical activity and their stages of exercise behavior
change.
 Physical activity interventions might be provided as a further step to increase
university students’ physical activity level based on the physical activity strategy for
the WHO European Region 2016–2025 (WHO, 2016) on university campuses.

Stages of exercise behavior change and perceived exercise benefits barriers among university students

  • 1. Stages of Exercise Behavior Change and Perceived Exercise Benefits/Barriers among University Students Yıldırım, A., Taş, H., Hürmeriç-Altunsöz, I. Middle East Technical University
  • 2. Introduction  The health benefits of physical activity (PA) participation are well-documented in many systematic reviews (Warburton, & Bredin, 2017).  The World Health Organization recommends that "adults should do at least 150– 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic PA" (Bull, et al., 2020, p. 1456).  However, sedentary behaviors are prevalent in many societies. Significantly, individuals' PA level decreases during university years (Small, Bailey-Davis, Morgan, & Maggs, 2013).
  • 3. Introduction  It is crucial to find ways to support the PA level of university students. Transtheoretical model is a useful framework for understanding individuals' behavior changes in healthy habits (Kohl, Murroy, & Salvo, 2019).  This model indicates that individuals follow a series of stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance (Marcus & Lewis, 2003).  Corbin and his colleagues (2014) emphasize that the main aim is to support individuals progress to the last stage, which might be challenging.
  • 4. Purpose of the study  To examine the relationship between stages of exercise behavior change and perceived exercise benefits/behaviors among university students.  To examine PA and screen time behaviors among the students.
  • 5. Research Questions 1. What is the relationship between stages of exercise behavior change and perceived exercise benefits/barriers among university students? 2. What is the role of physical activity participation on stages of exercise behavior change and perceived exercise benefits/barriers among university students?
  • 6. Methods  This study utilized a descriptive and correlational research design.  Participants were selected by using a purposeful sampling method.  66 undergraduate students participated in the study voluntarily (Female = 22, Male = 44).
  • 7. Methods Instrumentation  Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) (Sechrist, Walker, & Pender, 1987)  Turkish adaptation of the EBBS was done by Ortabağ, Ceylan, Akyüz, and Bebiş (2010)  Exercise Stages of Change Questionnaire (ESOCQ) (Marcus & Lewis, 2003)  Turkish adaptation of ESOCQ was performed by Cengiz, Aşçı, and İnce (2010)  A demographic information sheet
  • 8. Methods Data analysis  Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 26. Inferential analysis  Chi-square test for independence correlation.  A point-biserial correlation  An independent t-test
  • 9. Results The study results revealed that  30 students do regular PA  36 of them do not do regular PA When considering their stages of change results,  4 students are in precontemplation stage,  25 students are in contemplation stage  13 of them are in preparation stage  8 of them are in action stage  16 students are in maintenance stage.
  • 10. Results The study results revealed that  Regular PA participation is significantly related to stages of change levels χ2 (4) = 43.207, p < .05.  It is found a positive correlation between stages of change and students' score in the exercise benefits/barriers scale (rpb = .304, n = 66, p <.05).  Students participating in regular PA (M = 138.53, SD= 12.69) had high score in the exercise benefits scale than the students who do not (M = 129.86, SD= 15.57), t (64) = -2.448, p <.05, r2 = .08.
  • 11. Conclusion  These findings might be useful to create policies in order to track university students’ perceptions about physical activity and their stages of exercise behavior change.  Physical activity interventions might be provided as a further step to increase university students’ physical activity level based on the physical activity strategy for the WHO European Region 2016–2025 (WHO, 2016) on university campuses.
