A Non-Face-to-Face Physical Activity Promotion Program for University Students

February 19, 2026 updated by: Junhye Kwon, Seoul National University

Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Belief-Targeted Non-Face-to-Face Leisure-Time Physical Activity Promotion Program for South Korean University Students

This study evaluated a non-face-to-face leisure-time physical activity promotion program designed for South Korean university students. The program aimed to encourage students to increase their participation in leisure-time physical activity through online delivery.

Participants took part in a structured program that was conducted over a three-month period. The program included online materials and activities intended to support regular physical activity participation. Changes in physical activity participation and related factors were assessed before and after the program.

This study examined the feasibility of implementing a non-face-to-face physical activity promotion program and evaluated its effects on participants' leisure-time physical activity.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention group
Participants received a non-face-to-face leisure-time physical activity promotion program.
Behavioral: Non-Face-to-Face Leisure-Time Physical Activity Promotion Program
A non-face-to-face leisure-time physical activity promotion program delivered through an online platform. The program was designed to encourage regular participation in leisure-time physical activity and was conducted over a three-month period from May 8 to August 6, 2023.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Leisure-Time Physical Activity Participation
Time Frame: Baseline, midpoint( after 6 weeks of intervention), post-intervention (3 months), and 1-month follow-up
Leisure-time physical activity participation was assessed using self-reported frequency and duration of physical activity. Weekly average participation time (minutes per week) was calculated by multiplying frequency and duration of leisure-time physical activity over the past month.
Baseline, midpoint( after 6 weeks of intervention), post-intervention (3 months), and 1-month follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intention to Participate in Leisure-Time Physical Activity
Time Frame: Baseline, mid-intervention(after 6 weeks of intervention), and post-intervention(3 months)
Intention to participate in leisure-time physical activity was assessed using three questionnaire items. An average score was calculated to represent participants' intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity in the following month.
Baseline, mid-intervention(after 6 weeks of intervention), and post-intervention(3 months)
Leisure-Time Physical Activity-Related Beliefs
Time Frame: Baseline, mid-intervention(after 6 weeks of intervention), and post-intervention(3 months)
Behavioral, normative, and control beliefs related to leisure-time physical activity participation were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire with a nine-point Likert scale ranging from -4 (extremely unlikely) to 4 (extremely likely).
Baseline, mid-intervention(after 6 weeks of intervention), and post-intervention(3 months)
