This study examined the effect of exercise intensity on establishing exercise habits by comparing the
difference in the retention rate of exercise habits when provided exercise intervention groups (exercise
programs, exercise classrooms) with different exercise intensity. Participation (requirement) of exercise
intervention were 20-64 years old women without exercise habits (30 minutes or more, once at least twice
a week) for one year or more, outstanding sports history in the past, confident in physical strength and
athletic ability, and special consideration to exercise by a doctor. Twenty-nine women participated, 17
participants were assigned to low- to moderate-intensity exercise intervention group, 12 participants were
assigned to moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise intervention group. All groups participated in the
same number of sessions (90minutes a session and twice a week) and the same periods (12 weeks). The
main exercises were stretching and walking in low- to moderate-intensity exercise group, and walking and
jogging in moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise group. One year after the end of the exercise
intervention, the survey showed that the retention rate of exercise habits in low- to moderate-intensity
exercise group was 7 out of 12 (58.3%) and that in moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise group was 2
out of 11 (18.2%). There was no significant difference in the retention rate of exercise habits between two
groups (χ2 test, p=0.089). Self-efficacy for exercise did not increase significantly in either group (low- to
moderate-intensity exercise group: baseline 8.8±3.0 → post 9.4±2.5 → survey 8.5±3.1 points, moderateto
vigorous-intensity exercise group: 11.3±2.9 → 11.0±3.7 → 10.8±2.2 points. Interaction: p = 0.694,
simple main effect of time: p=0.585, simple main effect of group: p=0.061). These results suggest that the
effect of exercise intensity on establishing exercise habits and self-efficacy for exercise-related
establishing exercise habits might be small.
