Objective.探讨使用“Instagram应用程序”与“家庭锻炼计划”作为动机刺激对提高女大学生体育活动（PA）坚持水平的有效性。方法. 58名平均年龄为20.3 +/- 0.96岁的女本科生参加了研究。参与者被分为两组：干预组和对照组;两组都接受了锻炼计划，干预组还受到了“Instagram”的激励。“通过使用粘附片测量对PA的粘附性。采用运动动机量表（EMI-2）评估运动动机因素。结果使用EMI-2评估最常见的动机因素是外在的。“积极健康”是这两种类型中最常见的因素，占样本的47%。与对照组相比，干预组对活动计划的坚持率高出17%。此外，干预组和对照组中72%的参与者认为活动计划足够灵活，可以在家中进行;他们同意其对坚持的有效性（53%）。结论.将Instagram与家庭锻炼计划一起使用作为激励方式可能具有吸引力，可以有效地加强依从性并保持适当的PA水平。
Objective. To investigate the efficacy of using "Instagram application" with a "home-exercise program" as a motivational stimulus in improving physical activity (PA) adherence levels among female college students. Methods. Fifty-eight female undergraduate students with the mean age 20.3 +/- 0.96 years participated. Participants were divided into two groups: intervention and the control group; both the groups received an exercise program and the intervention group was additionally motivated by "Instagram." Adherence to PA was measured by using an adherence sheet. The Exercise Motivation Inventory (EMI-2) was used to assess the motivational factors. Results. The most frequent motivational factors were extrinsic as assessed using the EMI-2. "Positive health" was the most frequent factor mentioned of the two types with 47% of the sample. The intervention group adhered with 17% more to the activity programcompared to the control group. Moreover, 72% of the participants in the intervention and control groups found the activity programflexible enough to be performed at home; they agreed about its effectiveness on adherence (53%). Conclusions. The use of Instagram with the home exercise program as a motivational modality could be attractive and effective to reinforce adherence and maintain an appropriate PA level.
