本研究旨在探讨年龄、性别、运动量、人格因素对个体参与休闲运动原因的影响。在以往的研究中，只有少数研究考虑了性别以外的潜在影响因素。初步的因素分析程序测试的独立性的运动的原因清单（REI）的七个原始分量表。由于初始模型与数据的拟合较差，因此进行了修改。回归分析表明，很少有年龄或性别差异的原因报告行使。外向性和神经质，然而，正相关的几个REI量表的研究结果，可以从理论上解释。研究结果强调了考虑个体差异的重要性，以了解是什么促使个人从事运动活动。
The purpose of this study was to investigate the simultaneous influence of age, gender, physical-activity level, and personality factors on the reasons that individuals participate in leisure-time physical activity. In previous research only a few studies have considered potentially influential factors besides gender. Preliminary factor analytic procedures tested the independence of the seven original subscales of the Reasons for Exercise Inventory (REI). Since the fit of the initial model to the data was poor, modifications were made. Regression analyses indicated few age or gender differences in the reasons reported for exercising. Extraversion and neuroticism were, however, positively correlated with several of the REI scales-findings that can be explained theoretically. Results underscore the importance of taking account of individual differences in efforts to understand what motivates individuals to engage in exercise activities.
