Stages and Processes of Self Change of Exercise Behavior: Toward an Integrative Model of Change

Abstract

Used the Method of questionnaire survey, mathematic statistic, some urban residents were recruited and provided valid questionnaire data, to construct the integration model of exercise behavior, and test the stage discontinuity and the difference of exercise behavior variables across stages in integration model. The research results show below: (a) these subjects in same exercise stage had similar cognition degree of exercise barriers or difficulty, those subjects, however, in different stage had great different cognition degree of exercise; (b) the difference of different components was statistically significant between the various stages \(( {P < 0.05})\) and also shown that the non-continuity of exercise behavior exist; (c) there were different in predicting effect of variables of integration model to the exercise behavior in different exercise stages. Then, the intervention method was provided based on stage discontinuity examination.
