Abstract
Non-communicable diseases are currently important problems in Thai public health system. Exercise behaviors can help prevent non-communicable diseases, promote good health, and prohibit disease in working-aged group. The PRECEDE-PROCEED model was applied in this cross-sectional study which aimed to study predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors related to exercise behaviors in working-aged group. During October - November 2023, two hundred thirty-two samples were collected through administered questionnaire which was divided into three parts, as followed: 1) personal and work factors; 2) predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors which showed content validity of 1 and reliability value between 0.86 - 0.94; and 3) exercise behaviors which showed content validity of 0.66 and reliability value equal to 0.89. The Pearson’s coefficient and Chi-square were used for analysis.
The result revealed that 17.24% of early working-aged people, 8.19% of late working-aged people, and 6.03% of middle working-aged people had high exercise behaviors. Predisposing factors such as education level, occupation, and work pattern were related to exercise behaviors with statistical significance at .05 (2 = 15.174, 32.093, and 20.821, respectively). Enabling factor including accessibility to sport field service (r = .217) was very low related to exercise behaviors among working-aged people using the Naval Medical Department sport field with statistical significance at .05.
