The purpose of this study was to investigate 1) the characteristics of the participants in fitness program for health promotion, 2) the effects of fitness program on the physical fitness and lifestyle activity for the participants, and 3) the factors for sustaining healthy lifestyle.
In the first year, the randomly sampled residents in the area around campus volunteered for questionnaire including lifestyle activity, exercise adherence, health awareness, and QOL. Based on the reference data, we analyze the characteristics of the participants in the fitness program for health promotion. The prior items were, 1) women, 2) over 50 yrs, 3) housewives or non-occupation, 4) the amount of affordable time, 5) awareness for exercise shortage, 6) exercise adherence for health promotion.
In the second year, the sustaining level of lifestyle activity was investigated especially in the participants of walking program. The two issues for sustaining the enhanced lifestyle activity were 1) the class-walking, 2) the low level of the lifestyle activity before intervention.
The frame of fitness-farm presented in this study gave the informative infrastructure to develop and evaluate the various programs for health promotion.
