Use Of Trans-Contextual Model-Based Physical Activity Course In Developing Leisure-Time Physical Activity Behavior Of University Students
Summary .— This study examined how a physical activity course based on the Trans-Contextual Model aff ected the variables of perceived autonomy support, autonomous motivation, determinants of leisure-time physical activity behavior,basic psychological needs satisfaction, and leisure-time physical activity behaviors. The participants were 70 Turkish university students ( M age = 23.3 yr., SD = 3.2). A pre-test–post-test control group design was constructed. Initially, the participa ts were randomly assigned into an Experimental ( n = 35) and a Control ( n = 35) group. The Experimental group followed a 12 wk. trans-contextual model-based intervention. The participants were pre- and post-tested in terms of Trans-Contextual Model constructs and of self-reported leisure-time physical activity behaviors. Multivariate analyses showed signifi cant increases over the 12 wk. period for perceived autonomy support from instructor and peers, autonomous motivation in leisure-time physical activity setting, positive intention and perceived behavioral control over leisure-time physical activity behavior, more fulfi llment of psychological needs, and more engagement in leisure-time physical activity behavior in the Experimental group. These results indicated that the intervention was eff ective in developing leisure-time physical activity and indicated that the Trans-Contextual
Model is a useful way to conceptualize these relationships.
