Independent Samples t-test was used to examine the mean differences with regard to gender and marital status considering 5 subscales. The results of independent samples t-test indicated that, there was a significant mean difference between males and females in “health” and status” (p<0,05). Results of the ANOVA analyses demonstrated statistically mean differences with “competition” subscales (p<0,05). Furthermore, there was a significant mean difference in 4 subscales except “health” with the effect of “marital regard to age (p<0,05). (competition, body shape/appearance), education (health) (p<0,05), As a result of this study, “health”, “skill development” and ”body shape/appearance” were found to be the top three factors which motivate individuals to participate recreational exercise. Özet Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık-spor merkezlerinde rekreasyonel egzersize katılan bireyleri bu etkinliklere güdüleyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi ve katılım nedenlerinin bazı demografik değişkenlere göre karşılaştırılmasıdır. Çalışmaya Ankara İlinde rekreasyonel amaçlı hizmet veren 9 farklı sağlık-spor merkezlerinde egzersiz yapan 302 erkek (%55,1) ve 246 kadın (%44,9) olmak üzere toplam 548 kişi gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak 5 alt boyut ve toplam 66 maddeden oluşan “Egzersize Güdülenme Anketi” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan anketin 5 alt boyutunda rekreasyonel egzersiz katılımcılarının, cinsiyet ve medeni hale göre farklılığı test etmek için yapılan independent samples t-test analizi sonuçlarına göre; cinsiyete göre “sağlık” ve “rekabet” alt boyutlarında (p<0,05), medeni hale göre ise, “sağlık” alt boyutu hariç diğer 4 alt boyutta (p<0,05), anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, yapılan ANOVA sonuçlarına göre ise yaş (rekabet ve vücut ve dış görünüm), eğitim durumuna göre (sağlık), istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak, “sağlık”, “beceri gelişimi”, “vücut ve dış görünüm” faktörlerinin bireyleri rekreasyonel egzersize güdülemede ilk 3 sırayı aldığı tespit edilmiştir.
