Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess and compare motives on exercise participation among non-sports boys and non-sports girls. Sixty non-sports boys and non-sports girls (n=60) who are not related to any kind of sport were selected randomly with age ranging between 18-28years. The subjects were taken from Sharda University and Amity University. The data was collected by using the Exercise Motivations Inventory 2 (EMI-2) developed by Markland and Ingledew. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and independent sample ‘t’ test. There was no significant difference in Stress Management, Revitalization, Enjoyment, Challenge, Social Recognition, Affiliation, Competition, Health Pressures, Ill-Health Avoidance, Positive Health and Appearance among non-sports boys and non-sports girls of Sharda University and Amity University. While there was a significant difference in Weight Management, Strength & Endurance, and Nimbleness among non-sports boys and non-sports girls of Sharda University and Amity University. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
