This study presented the results of West Java Community Participation Rate in Sports (APMO) in 2019 and also revealed the motives (goals and methods) of the community in exercising, which was a part of the activity tracking of the Sports Community Participation Rate in West Java. Cross Sectional Study was used to uncover research problems, involving 108 staff of Bachelors of Sport Development Trainer (SP3OR) in the data collection process. The instrument used was a modified IPAQ questionnaire contained in the APMO Measurement Guidelines for the Youth and Sports Agency in 2017.
