Previous studies have also pointed to favorable evidence
of the possible relationship between economic class and
motivational factors for exercise (Withall et al., 2011). In the
present study, university students belonging to higher family
economic classes were significantly more motivated to
exercise than less privileged students, as observed through
body weight management and physical appearance. In this
case, in agreement with the results found in studies with
adolescents (Ingledew & Sullivan, 2002), it is assumed that,
due to the context in which university students are found,
those with a higher family economic level would be more
concerned about aesthetical reasons to exercise, causing
them to seek to achieve a slim body and a body image that
meets the aesthetic standards imposed by modern society.
Among the university students who reported exercising, the
level of motivation associated with stress management,
leisure/well-being and affiliation became significantly higher
with the increase in the level of experience with exercise.
The level of motivation associated with disease prevention,
health rehabilitation and social recognition did not have any
significant impact on the intention to exercise and length of
experience with exercise. However, university students who
reported not exercising or exercising for less than six months
attributed significantly less importance to stress management,
leisure/well-being and affiliation and, inversely,
significantly more importance to body weight management
and physical appearance than those with longer experience
with exercise.
