title: Inactive Australian college students' preferred activities, sources of assistance, and motivators.
abstract: a cross-sectional survey was sent to students at four college campuses to assess self-reported physical activity, sources of assistance to exercise, and motivators for regular activity . The study focused on 864 (40%) of 2148 students surveyed who were classified as inactive. Attributes of inactive male and female college students differed by gender. such differences may be used in tailoring health promotion interventions to increase physical activity.
