The authors sampled old people aged 65-75 in a hierarchical and random manner, issued a survey questionnaire to those who met inclusion criteria, measured exercise obstruction affecting degree and over-coming degree, as well as exercise benefit achieving degree and satisfaction degree, processed acquired data by using statis-tic methods such as correlation analysis and multiple hierarchical regression analysis etc, and revealed the following find-ings: 1) as for the urban elderly in developed regions, exercise benefit degree had the highest power of predicting exercise satisfaction degree and obstruction overcoming degree, its influence on the elderly’s exercise behaviors was the greatest; 2) as for the urban elderly in underdeveloped regions, exercise obstruction degree had the highest power of predicting exercise satisfaction degree and obstruction overcoming degree, its influence on the elderly’s exercise behaviors was the greatest Key words: sports psychology; the elderly’s exercise behaviors; exercise benefit; exercise obstruction; obstruction overcoming; exercise satisfaction degree; south and north Jiangsu |
