The connection between motivation and behaviors
Original language description
This preliminary study reports a possible connection between the motivation to participate in physical activity (PA) and actual PA behaviors. Motives for participating in physical activity were assessed through a questionnaire (MPAM-R) and were used to measure motives to participate in PA. Two groups of university students with the same major (kinesiology/healthy lifestyle) from two different countries took the questionnaire and a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant difference between the two groups in their motives for participating in physical activity, Wilks’ λ = .78, F(5, 69) = 3.79, p = .004, partial η2 = .22. Also, the group with the lower motivation to participate in PA were significantly younger (p < .01), had lower BMI (p = .02), had higher PA measured with pedometers (p <. 01). The results suggested that higher motivation to participate in PA measured by MPAM-R not be enough to influence PA behavior positively.
