Exercise motivation: a cross-sectional analysis examining its relationships with frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2010Co-Authors: Lindsay R. Duncan, Craig R. Hall, Philip M Wilson, O JennyAbstract:Background It is important to engage in Regular physical activity in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle however a large portion of the population is insufficiently active. Understanding how different types of motivation contribute to exercise behavior is an important first step in identifying ways to increase exercise among individuals. The current study employs self-determination theory as a framework from which to examine how motivation contributes to various characteristics of exercise behavior. Methods Regular Exercisers ( N = 1079; n = 468 males; n = 612 females) completed inventories which assessed the frequency, intensity, and duration with which they exercise, as well as the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire including four additional items assessing integrated regulation. Results Bivariate correlations revealed that all three behavioral indices (frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise) were more highly correlated with more autonomous than controlling regulations. Regression analyses revealed that integrated and identified regulations predicted exercise frequency for males and females. Integrated regulation was found to be the only predictor of exercise duration across both genders. Finally, introjected regulation predicted exercise intensity for females only. Conclusions These findings suggest that exercise regulations that vary in their degree of internalization can differentially predict characteristics of exercise behavior. Furthermore, in the motivational profile of a Regular Exerciser, integrated regulation appears to be an important determinant of exercise behavior. These results highlight the importance of assessing integrated regulation in exercise settings where the goal of understanding motivated behavior has important health implications.

Becoming a Regular Exerciser: examining change in behavioural regulations among exercise initiates.
Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2010Co-Authors: Wendy M. Rodgers, Craig R. Hall, Lindsay R. Duncan, Erin S. Pearson, Marcia I. MilneAbstract:Abstract Objective A large body of research evidence is accumulating describing aspects of motivation that are associated with persistence with exercise behavior. Relatively little is known, however, about the process of becoming a Regular Exerciser. That is, how long does it take for the motivational profile of an initiate Exerciser to become similar to the motivational profiles that have been associated with enduring exercise behavior? Methods This paper reports data of program completers from 4 longitudinal studies (Ns = 60, 134, 38, and 84 respectively) describing change in four forms of motivational regulation proposed by self-determination theory among initiate Exercisers and compares those initiates to two samples of long-term Regular Exercisers (Ns = 202 and 1054). Results The results indicate that patterns of self-determined regulation change over time in ways consistent with self-determination theory. Specifically, there are increases in identified and intrinsic motivation among initiate Exercisers that appear to take place within 8 weeks. Conclusions Final values of identified and intrinsic motivation remain significantly lower than values observed for Regular Exercisers, even after up to 6 months of exercise.
