The purpose of this study was to analyze exercise participation consciousness using health belief model(HBM). The subjects in this study were 500 adults(aged between 30 and 60years). And after except incomplete or bad faith questionnaires, we analyzed the data of 355 questionnaires(men 184, women 171). The content validity of the measurement tool, based on previous studies, were obtained through consultation with health related expert. A total of 46 preliminary items in question was constructed in the form of Likert response format. As results, a total 26questions(susceptibility to disease: 7questions, severity of disease: 5questions, benefits of exercise: 9questions, and barriers to exercise: 5questions) appeared to be suitable as measurement tool. Eigenvalues ​​of the components appeared to susceptibility to disease 5.517, severity of disease 2.256, benefits of exercise 8.196, and barriers to exercise 1.760, and a cumulative rate of 46.65% variance was suggested. Also, Cronbach'α for reliability appeared to susceptibility to disease .784, severity of disease .800, benefits of exercise .886, and barriers to exercise .700. As results, the susceptibility to disease was related with level of exercise participation, the severity of disease was related with age and level of exercise participation, the benefits of exercise was related with age and health state, and the barriers to exercise was related with level of exercise participation and economics. In conclusion, we suggested that strengthening the susceptibility to disease and the severity of disease and decreasing the barriers to exercise is demanded in order to promote regular exercise participation.
