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.
