Abstract

The objectives of this study were to examine the factors and to analyze the factors affecting on physical activities management at Rajamangala University of Technology. The sample group consisted of 420 students from Rajamangala University of Technology, 2nd- 4th year. The samples were obtained using a proportional stratified sampling method. The research tool was a questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using statistic, means, and standard deviation to find the correlations of variables affecting physical activities using Pearson correlation coefficient and to analyze the influences of predictive variables on physical activity management by multiple regression analysis method. The results indicated that; Knowledge of physical activities and attitude about having physical activities correlated with having physical activities in statistically significant at 0.01 (r =0.163, r = 0.280 respectively) and Contributing factors related to physical activity management and complementary factors related to physical activity management correlated with having physical activities in statistically significant at 0.01 (r = 0.342, r = 0.337 respectively) The results of the study show that the importance of educating and creating an good attitude of having physical activity, including that universities should work on their contributing factor and complementary factors. It was found that the factors which most influenced the management of physical activities for students at Rajamangala University of Technology were gender, year of students, knowledge, attitude, contributing factors, and complementary factors had statistically significant effects at the level of 0.05 on physical activities. All variables can explain physical activities for students at Rajamangala University of Technology for 25.3% (Adjusted R2 = .253).
