dc.description.abstractThe benefits of involvement in leisure-time physical activity have attracted individuals, groups and governments to it. There is compelling evidence that an active and fit way of life has many important health benefits and that sedentary habits are associated with increased risks of numerous chronic diseases and decreases longevity. The aim of this study was to identify motivational factors influencing leisure-time physical activity involvement among staff of tertiary institutions in Ondo State. For the purpose of the study, 200 teaching and 200 teaching staff were selected for the purpose of achieving equal representation of the staff population from Government-owned tertiary institutions in the state using convenience sampling technique. The result of the study indicated that the major factors influencing involvement in leisure-time physical activity among the staff are personal motivation/interest and peer group influence. It thus suggested that the motivational factors for involvement in leisure-time physical activities among various social groups therefore need to be understood by leisure managers and coaches as this will assist them to fashion out programmes that will meet the needs and aspiration of the people.en_US
