Typing attitudes toward exercise and investigating motivation suitable for TPO

Abstract

In recent years, lifestyle diseases have become a serious problem in Japan. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, more than half the causes of death in FY 2005 were attributed to lifestyle diseases. To prevent lifestyle diseases, diet improvements and regular exercise are necessary. However, many people cannot continue exercise. In this research, we classified the sports consciousness of participants, measured their motivation during exercise in various TPOs with questionnaires, and clarified these relationships. We also considered the method of motivation for exercise.
