However, some researchers concluded some facts about women's participation in physical activity; (1) most adult women either don't do the recommended amount of physical activity or are completely inactive; (2) women are more inactive than men. Furthermore, recognizing and referring to the female participants' motivation of physical activity in leisure time, physical activity intervention programs would be designed more effectively and implemented more successfully.
