INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this research was to observe the effect of a choice of physical activity of participants’ psychological (emotion, motivation, arousal level), and physiological changes (HR, RPE) on the level of internal and external motivation, and to investigate the difference of these changes in the long-term point of view.
METHOD
Participants were 70 college students and except for dropout 64 data were analyzed. Experimental procedure was followed the method of Moon(2011) and Parfit & Gledhill(2004). As a result of statistical analysis through descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, one-way repeated measures ANOVA, independent t-test revealed. All statistics were performed using SPSS (version 19.0 for Windows), and a prior level of significance was set as p < .05.
RESULT
The results are showed as follow: First, the emotion experience in preference exercise mode group appeared to have higher perceptive of positive emotion experience and lower perceptive of negative emotion experience than emotion experience in non-preference exercise mode group on physical activity. Second, the preference exercise mode group revealed higher of internal motivation and lower of external motivation than non-preference exercise mode group. Third, the preference exercise mode group presented higher increasing of stage of exercise behavior change than non-preference exercise mode group. Fourth, the preference exercise mode group in change of exercise emotion showed a larger increase and duration in feeling scale (FS), and the increase and decrease of felt arousal scale (FAS) were similar with non-preference exercise mode group. Fifth, the preference exercise mode group revealed to lower perceptive of exercise intensity than with non-preference exercise mode group at the same intensity. That is, when we are exercise at the same intensity, the synchronized self-determination group was relatively lower perceptive of exercise intensity than the comparison group. Sixth, the preference exercise mode group in change of exercise duration appeared to have more a positive effect in the physiological variables than non-preference exercise mode group. 24 weeks of regular exercise to the participants brought a qualitative change in the change of physical. Finally, the preference exercise mode group was superior to exercise participations than non-preference exercise mode group.
CONCLUSION
Self-determination group had higher positive effect than comparison group for all factors. Therefore, coach should understands principle of self-determination theory and try in curiosity encouragement of exercise participants or environment furtherance to accomplish internalized motivation. |
