Existing motivation questionnaires overlook muscular development. This study developed a scale, finding muscular development motives significantly differentiate exercise groups, highlighting their importance in exercise psychology.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Psychology
  • Sport Motivation
  • Physical Activity Research

Background:

  • Current motivation questionnaires lack focus on muscular development motives.
  • Resistance training populations are underrepresented in motivational studies.
  • Understanding exercise motivations is crucial for adherence and program design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the necessity of considering muscular development motives in exercise.
  • To develop a scale measuring muscular development motives.
  • To compare motivational differences across various exercise groups.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 13-item questionnaire combining a new muscular development scale with existing Exercise Motivations Inventory items.
  • Administered the questionnaire to experienced resistance training males and females, and males and females in varied sports/aerobic training.

  • Utilized factor analysis and discriminant analysis to examine motivational factors and group differences.

    • Main Results:

    • A distinct muscular development factor was identified, though it showed some overlap with weight management motives.
    • Muscular development emerged as the strongest discriminator among the four exercise groups.
    • Motive-based differences were found to be more influential than sex in determining exercise modality choice.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a clear need to incorporate muscular development motives into future exercise motivation research.
    • The interplay between muscular development and weight management motives requires further investigation.
    • Understanding specific motives is essential for explaining exercise choices, particularly for those seeking an 'ideal' physique.
