Abstract

Obesity is still a national problem. The prevalence of obesity is raising with increasing individual income. Various innovations in the field of sports do not increase the desire and tendency to exercise. Personal motivation is needed to lose weight which is directly beneficial to health. The presence of stigma in obese women may increase the tendency to exercise. The purpose of this study was to investigate the desire to exercise in obese adult women. This report is the second report of the ongoing research entitled “The Effect of Obesity towards Low Physical Activity” funded by the Research and Community Service Directorate, General Directorate of Research Strengthening and Developing, Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education, Indonesia. This study took data from 10 obese female subjects and 12 non-obese female subjects with age matching. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the Mann Whitney test. Data analysis employed the Medcalc program and was declared significant with p <0.05. The analysis revealed that there was no difference in median sports motivation scores between groups (60.5 vs 62, p = 0.407). The results of this study indicate that stigma in obese women has no effect on the desire to exercise.
