The data was gathered by using questionnaire which Cronbach ’s alpha coefficient of attitude, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, motivations and practice towards exercise were 0.71, 0.81, 0.91, 0.83, and 0.91, respectively. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and multiple logistics regression. The results found that gender, body mass index, lacking of exercise place, perceived benefit and practice towards exercise behavior were statistically related to exercise among students.
