Objective: The purposes of this study are to understand the characteristics of the participants in a community walking campaign and to analyze the factors related to their participation based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM). Methods: The study composed of the description of participant characteristics and comparison of them with non-participant characteristics in a walking campaign in K province. The data were collected through a survey of 2,590 participants and 258 non-participants from the same community. The survey instrument included questions about stages of walking and exercise, knowledge and attitude toward walking, and environmental condition for walking. Results: A majority of the walking campaign participants were in the action(24.8%) and maintenance(43.6%) stages of walking and exercise behavior. The non-participant group was split between maintenance(51.6%) and precontemplation (30.6%) stages. Among the participants, effective campaign promotion channels differed by age group while motivation for participation and participation patterns were associated with both age and gender. Favorable physical environment was a significant factor of participating in walking campaign(OR=1.396, CI=1.149-1.696). Although the campaign participants scored higher than the non-participants in most attitude toward walking questions, differences in knowledge scores between two groups were less significant. Conclusion: In conclusion, further social marketing to increase the awareness and to increase the concern of population in the community is needed based on the survey result. Transtheoretical model seems appropriate to apply to the evaluation and the planning the program of the behavior change in the community. Also, more organized and sustainable support in need to maintain the good habit of walking for the participants in walking campaign.

본 연구는 전형적으로 소모적 휴양활동인 수렵에 대한 참여동기와 수렵인의 자연환경태도를 평가하고 동기와 태도의 관련성을 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 자연환경태도 척도를 구축하기 위해 1994년 4월 수원시민과 대학생을 대상으로 총 380매의 설문과, 수렵면허를 구입한 수렵인을 대상으로 수렵참여 동기와 자연환경태도의 관련성을 규명하기 위해 동기와 태도, 만족을 묻는 총 148매의 유효설문을 수집하여 분석했다. 90개의 항목문항 중 최종적으로 선정된 26항목의 자연환경태도 척도를 이용하여 다섯 집단(수원시민, 수렵인, 3개의 대학생집단)에 대하여 태도 평가치를 비교 검증한 결과 집단 간에 유의한 차이를 발견하였으며 자연에 대한 긍정적인 태도는 수렵인 집단이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 수렵인의 수렵참여 동기는 '운동삼아서', '야외(산)를 좋아하므로' 등의 순으로 나타났으며 인자분석을 통하여 8가지의 인자를 발견했다. 수렵인의 '수익성' 동기인자와 자연환경태도의 주된 항목인 '인류와 자연과의 관계성' 간에는 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 이는 자연을 경제적 이윤추구 대상물로 인식할수록 자연환경에 대해 부정적인 태도를 보인다는 의미로 볼 수 있다. '혼자만의 시간을 누리기 위해'라는 동기와 '자연환경의 필요성'에 대한 태도 간에는 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 이는 자연환경을 대상으로 스트레스를 해소하거나 자아 개발을 추구하려 할 때 자연환경을 더욱 긍정적으로 평가하는 태도를 갖는 것으로 판단된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Existing evidence on lifestyle modification programs for weight loss is limited by the high attrition rate of such programs. Identifying predictors of adherence to a lifestyle modification program could result in program improvement. However, little is known about behavior-specific adherence and its psychological predictors. This study aimed to examine the psychological predictors of adherence after one-month participation in a community-based lifestyle modification program among Chinese overweight and obese adults in Hong Kong. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 205 Chinese overweight and obese adults aged $38.9{\pm}10.5years$ completed the study. Data were collected at baseline and after one month using self-reported questionnaires, which assessed knowledge (self-developed scale), motivation (Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire), stage of change (Stage of Exercise Scale) and self-efficacy (Self-Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale). At one month, a 4-day dietary recall and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form were used to assess dietary and physical activity (PA) adherence. Food and PA diaries were examined to indicate self-monitoring. Program attendance was tracked between baseline and one-month follow-up. RESULTS: After one month, participants reported high dietary adherence, attendance, and adherence to self-monitoring but low PA adherence. Multiple regression analyses suggested that diet self-efficacy (baseline) and nutrition knowledge (one-month change) were independent predictors of dietary adherence score at one month, whereas autonomous PA motivation (baseline) and PA self-efficacy (both baseline and one-month change) were independent predictors of PA adherence score at one month. No significant psychological predictor was identified for attendance or self-monitoring. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the effect of psychological factors on adherence differs between diet and PA adherence outcomes. To promote adherence, practitioners should assess self-efficacy, knowledge, and motivation at the beginning of a weight-loss program and explore behavior-specific strategies to improve knowledge and self-efficacy. The results of this study have direct implications for program improvements.

지적장애인은 인지기능과 조정기술의 손상, 낮은 운동능력 등으로 인해 신체활동수준이 부족하고 음식섭취 욕구가 강하여 생활습관질환의 이환율이 높아 삶의 전 영역에 영향을 미친다. 안타깝게도 현대의학으로는 지적장애인의 삶의 질을 개선시키기에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 하지만 규칙적인 신체활동은 이러한 문제점을 개선시키는 중요한 중재로 인정되고 있다. 본 연구는 유희성과 중독성이 있는 가상현실 게임프로그램을 통한 운동프로그램과 일반적인 빠르게 걷기 프로그램을 통해 건강관련체력과 정신건강수준 등을 비교하였다. 중도탈락자를 제외하고 가상현실 게임운동프로그램군 5명, 빠르게 걷기 운동프로그램군 4명을 대상으로 비모수검증을 통해 비교분석하였다. 가상현실 게임바이크운동프로그램군의 체중, 근지구력 요소에서 유의한 개선이 있었으며, 모든 집단의 중성지방, 유연성, 최대산소섭취량, 운동지속시간에서는 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았지만 개선되는 경향을 보였다. 운동프로그램 전·후 우울, 사회적 부적응, 정신건강에서는 빠르게 걷기 운동프로그램군에 비해 가상현실 게임바이크운동프로그램군에서 유의하지는 않지만 개선되는 경향을 보였으며, 운동 흥미도가 높고, 자각인지도는 낮게 나타났다. 이는 게임기를 이용한 가상현실 운동프로그램의 적용이 게임으로 인한 부정적인 측면보다 운동으로 인한 긍정적인 면이 크다는 것을 의미하므로 지적장애인의 운동프로그램을 계획하는 데 적극적으로 활용할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

Multicultural scholarship in sport and exercise psychology should help us understand and apply cultural competencies for all to be physically active. In the present study, two Asian countries, Japan and Singapore, were chosen. The participation rate for physical activities among adolescent girls tends to be lower than that of boys in both countries. Thus, the purpose of the project was to gain knowledge and understanding about sociocultural factors that may explain adolescent girls' perceptions and behaviors toward sport, physical activity, and physical education (PE). A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with focus groups was used to understand meanings of physical activity among Buddhist Japanese, and Hindu Indians and Christian Chinese from Singapore. Each focus group consisted of four or five girls and female researchers. Based on the analysis, we created four themes which were "cultural identities", "Asian girls and sport/physical activities", "PE experiences", "motivation for future involvement". The Buddhist Japanese, Hindu Indian, and Christian Chinese participants each reported unique physical activity experiences, and all the participants were aware of how Asian culture may affect being physically active. Experiences of PE classes were similar but perceptions of their PE attire were different for Christian Chinese and Hindu Indian adolescent girls. Based on the results, the importance of nurturing cultural competencies and ways to encourage girls to be physically active throughout life were discussed.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) lower extremity patterns combined with elastic bands applied to stroke patients diagnosed with hemiplegia through self-training using the non-paralyzed side approach and the paralyzed side approach, and to investigate the differences in the effects. Methods: Nine chronic stroke patients who were being treated not more than twice a week at H, K, R, and C hospitals located in Gangwon-do, performed self-training for 16 minutes, two times per day for four weeks between August and October 2015. The subjects' balance ability was measured using the Tetrax stability index, the weight distribution index, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test before the experiment and four weeks later. Among the statistical methods, paired t-tests were conducted for intra-group comparison of the measurements taken before and after the experiment, and independent t-tests were conducted for inter-group comparison of the ex post facto values. The statistical significance level was set to 0.05. Results: When the lower extremity patterns were applied to the non-paralyzed side group and the paralyzed side group, significant intra-group differences were observed for the Tetrax stability index, the weight distribution index, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests (p<0.05); however, the inter-group comparisons showed no significant differences. Conclusion: The non-paralyzed side approach was found to be easy for patients to participate in and it also affected the patients' paralyzed side. Although the paralyzed side approach produced good exercise effects in a short period of time, it could result in adverse effects, such as a decrease in motivation and self-confidence. Therefore, these approaches are considered to be more effective when they are selectively applied depending on the purpose of the intervention and the degree of a patients' participation.
