摘要：

Objective To assess whether sex or school year influence physical activity and exercise (PA/EX) behaviors and perceived benefits and barriers of PA/EX among college students.Participants:Participants were 862 (78% female; 20.1 +/- 1.4 years) college students.Methods:The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale, and resistance training (RT) questions were completed online.Results:Factorial ANOVA (sex x year) determined no significant interaction effects of sex and school year in behaviors or perceived benefits and barriers (allp > .05). Males reported higher levels of PA/EX and RT than females (p < .05) with no differences by school year (p = .34). Benefits Scale scores and some of its subscales were higher for males and first-year students compared to females and third- and fourth-year students (allp < .05).Conclusion:PA/EX promotion programs may need to be tailored differently based on sex and school year.
