Self-Confidence, Fitness Trainers, Philosophy of Sufficiency EconomyAbstract
This research aims to study and compare the effects of using activities to promote leadership in exercise based on the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy. A sample of 96 people was purposively selected to participate in a 4-week study. Data were collected before and after the study using questionnaires. The data were analyzed by calculating the mean, standard deviation, and t-test, with statistical significance set at 0.05. The research results revealed that after participating in the activities, the sample group had a significantly higher level of knowledge about promoting personal trainers in exercise based on the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy than before participating in the activities (p = 0.01). Regarding self-confidence in being a personal trainer in exercises, the sample group had significantly higher self-confidence in leading exercise activities compared to before participating in the activities (p = 0.01). These findings indicate that activities designed to promote personal trainers in exercise based on the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy can effectively enhance participants’ self-confidence in leading exercise activities.
