[[alternative]]An application of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model to Investigate Regular Exercise Behavior of Graduate Students

[[abstract]]The main purpose of this study is to investigate the regular exercise behavior of graduate students, and apply PRECEDE-PROCEED model to explore regular exercise behavior and its determinants. By using a probabilities proportional to size method, 336 of valid samples were collected with a self-administrated questionnaires. The results indicated that： 1.20.5％of the subjects do regular exercise. The main types of exercise are running、weight training (dumbbells, a push-up; sit-ups) and swimming. 2.In the respect of Predisposing factors, the knowledge of exercise was 9.4；the attitude was 4.2；self-efficacy for exercise was 2.4. Regular exercise behavior was positive correlated with the knowledge of exercise and self-efficacy for exercise. The male of the subjects, the healthier they feel themselves, the more the knowledge of exercise and self-efficacy for exercise, the greater amount of regular exercise they will have. 3.For Enabling factors, they had 3.2 exercise equipment at their living place. Regular exercise behavior was not correlated with the amount of exercise equipment and limits of exercise environment. 4.For Reinforcing factors, the subjects' social support for exercise was low. Regular exercise behavior was positive correlated with the social support for exercise. The more social support for exercise, the greater amount of regular exercise they will have. 5.perceived health status, the knowledge of exercise, the attitude of exercise, self-efficacy for exercise, social support for exercise, and the limits of exercise environment residence were significant factors of regular exercise behavior, Of them, social support for exercise was the most important of regular exercise behavior.
