This study applied the self-determination theory to examine the perceived autonomy support and basic psychological needs of women participating in a health-related exercise programme with respect to exercise stage of change (three stages including Preparation, Action, and Maintenance) and exercise type (Aerobic vs Strength & Flexibility). The sample consisted of 316 women (M age=25.1 years, SD=7.2) who completed the Perceived Autonomy Support Scale for Exercise Settings: Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale and the Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire. Participants’ heart rate during the exercise and the exercise content were used to categorize the exercise classes as Aerobic or Strength & Flexibility. Data were analysed using ANOVA and MANOVA (p<.05). The findings indicated that participants perceived autonomy support differed according to exercise type (F (1,315)=6.44, p<.05, ƞ2=.02). Moreover, participants’ basic psychological needs differed according to both exercise stage of change (F (3,311)=3.97, p<.05, ƞ2=.04) and exercise type (F (3,312)=5.63, p<.05, ƞ2=.05). To address the needs of worksite health-related exercise programme participants, programme providers and instructors should further consider exercise stages of change and participants’ preferred type of exercise.

根据变化的运动阶段和运动类型，参加与妇女健康相关的运动计划的参与者的自觉支持和基本心理需求

这项研究运用自我决定理论，从变化的运动阶段（包括准备，行动和维持三个阶段）和运动类型（有氧与力量与柔韧性）。该样本包括316名女性（M年龄= 25.1岁，SD = 7.2），这些妇女完成了运动设置的感知自主支持量表：运动量表中的基本心理需求量表和变化问卷的体育活动阶段。参加者在运动过程中的心率和运动内容用于将运动类别分为有氧运动或力量与柔韧性。使用ANOVA和MANOVA分析数据（p ＜.05）。研究结果表明，参与者感知到的自主支持根据锻炼类型而有所不同（F（1,315）= 6.44，p <.05，ƞ2= .02）。此外，参与者的基本心理需求因锻炼的变化阶段（F（3,311）= 3.97，p <.05，ƞ2= .04）和锻炼类型（F（3,312）= 5.63，p <.05，ƞ2）而异。 = .05）。为了满足与工作场所健康相关的锻炼计划参与者的需求，计划提供者和指导者应进一步考虑变化的锻炼阶段和参与者偏爱的锻炼类型。
