The research aims to study the effect of the exercise behavior promotion program implemented that would promote exercise behavior by applying the Transtheoretical model and Self Determination Theory. The samples ware 40 university staff in Silpakorn University aged between 20-59 years old. The research tools consisted of 1) an exercise behavior promotion program. 2) the stage of change readiness questionnaire. the program consisted of 13 activities for 24 consecutive weeks, 3 days per week, 60 minutes per day. All samples evaluated their stages of change at before and after week 8, 16, 24, and at the follow-up period of week 28. The percentages, mean scores, standard deviation, and one-way ANOVA with repeated measures were used to examine the data.
Results show that the promote exercise behavior program consisted of 13 activities were proper at a good level ( =3.31). Furthermore, 65 percent of the subjects had progressed from the stage of change to the stage of maintenance. Furthermore, it was found that the mean scores of stages of change to the stage of maintenance of the samples at before using, during, and after joining the program, as well as at the follow-up period were statistically significant different, Alpha level at 0.05. In conclusion, the developed program could be brought to use for promoting the higher educational institute persons’ exercise behaviour in central part to continuously exercise.
