Research Results The majority of the respondents tend to exercise quite regularly and frequently during the week. Those respondents who don' t exercise accumulate to 14% of the sample, or 21 people out of 150. As you can see in figure 2 the times per week they exercise is spread out rather uniformly, with the highest percentage at 19.3, exercising 4-5 times a week Therefore, there is a possibility that if the sample posses an inerest, they could easily include Martial Arts in their workout program. The 14% with no workout habits verify that not everyone is including exercise in their lives, as all should strive to do for a healthier and longer life. What can be drawn from the responses is that Martial Arts can be marketed to those who already exercise on a regular bases and those who don't exercise and should Figure 2 Times a week you exercise Times a week you exercise On average, the respondents exercise 30-45 minutes per workout. As the majority, or 4%, of the sample spend 30 to 45 minutes during a workout, 22% having a 60-minute or more workout, and 18% exercising 15 to 30 minutes per workout, it can be projected that
an one hour workout, the length of a typical Martial Art class, is likely to fit into their Furthermore, as figure 3 shows the majority of the respondents, 66.9%, prefer to exercise with other people. This can be a positive sign for Martial Art classes as they are omposed of a group Figure 3 Prefer to exercise alone or with other people Alone 33.1% With other people 669% Some of the common activities of the respondents who do exercise include running Jogging,walking, weight lifting, push-ups, and sit-ups as a part of their workout. The respondents were asked to identify the activities and hobbies that they participated in; this provides a general idea of the variety of activities that our sample participates in Overall, the most common activity is swimming with participation at 28%, following is basketball at 27. 3%, hiking at 26. 7%, and bowling at 23%. Among the thirty activities to select from 11.3% of our sample participate in some form of Martial Arts
The greater part of the sample, 80.7% is satisfied or very satisfied with their physical results in their given activities The importance of fun in exercising is demonstrated in figure 4, as 48.6% think it is important, 37% very important, and 14.4%somewhat important. This proves that people want to have fun while they exercise, therefore a fun and positive atmosphere in Martial Arts would be more effective to those sampled Figure 4 How important is having fun in exercise omewhat important Very import How important is having fun in exercise The respondents were asked to identify the activities that they have not participated in but would like to. Martial Arts was one of the choices and it ranked second at 24. 7% after surfing at%. Therefore out of thirty activities Martial Arts is one of the preferred activities of our sample to tr
To formulate an idea of how much people believe they have time to exercise we asked the respondents how many hours a week they think they could spend. According to figure 5, at 19.3%we have both four to five hours and five to six hours a week. Only 2.7% of the sample virtually said they dont have time to exercise by selecting less than one hour per week. This shows that the time factor for training Marital Arts is definitely in our favor as classes run one hour and students can determine how may days a week they want to train. However, to get adequate training students should train at least two or three days a week, totaling two to three hours per week. And with only 6.7% of the sample willing to exercise no more than two hours a week, the majority of the sample will have time to train Figure 5 Hours per week you could spend exercising 豆。」鏖翻醒 Hours per week you could spend exercising
