Description

<p>The purpose of this study is to evaluate how 3 components of the Sense of Coherence (SOC) which are Comprehensibility, Manageability, and Meaningfulness, effect the stages of change for exercise behavior using Exercise Self-Efficacy (SE). as a mediation variable. The subjects were 909 private university students (437 males aged 18.4±0.9 and 472 females aged 18.2±0.5) in the Tokyo metropolitan area. For measurement, the Stage of Change Exercise Behavior Scale, SOC-29 Japanese version, and the Exercise SE scale were used to determine the impact. According to the hypothetic model: the 3 components of SOC have impact on the stages of change for exercise behavior through Exercise SE, and each component have also impact on the stages of change for exercise behavior directly, Each path was analyzed by structural equation modeling.</p><p>The results were, Comprehensibility and Meaningfulness mediate with Exercise SE and have strong impact on the stages of change for exercise behavior for male students. On the other hand, Meaningfulness with the intervention of Exercise SE had a strong impact to the stages of change for exercise behavior for female students. On the whole, Meaningfulness is important to promote exercise behavior for university students. Moreover, it is also an effective approach to develop exercise adherence by using their past exercise experiences for male students.</p>
