III. Results A total of eighty questionnaires are collected. Not surprisingly, exercise enjoyed widespread popularity among the Lingnan students we interviewed as shown in figure one. Approximately eighty percent of respondents exercise, while slightly twenty percent of them do not. More male(82.5%) than female(70%) exercise.
Figure one seems to reveal that the Lingnanian we interviewed do some forms of exercise. At the first glance of figure two, most of them usually played ball games(37%) and running(36%) with more female(54%) choosing running as the type of exercise they usually do than male(21%), while conversely, more male(48%) chose to play ball games than female(25%).

Recommendation
For the programs, it is recommended that our school could provide a wider range of exercise-related classes to students. According to the interviewees, they would like to see some intermediate classes(16%), with low course fees to students, since about one-sixth respondents(63%) were only willing to pay less than one hundred dollar for four lessons.
For the sports facilities, many interviewees(31%) complained about the size of the gym room is slightly cramped. It is recommended that the school may enlarge the current gym room or place some gym equipment in hostels. As over two-third of Lingnan students are female and consider that they enjoy running more(54%), the school may buy more running machines or build a running track around the campus. It might encourage students to develop an exercise habit and a lifelong healthy living style if the school puts more efforts in promotion of exercise habit by means of improving facilities.
VII. Conclusion
This study in general achieved our aims and objectives. It investigated students’ knowledge in exercise and identified the internal and external factors influencing the exercise habit of students. In addition, it evaluated the change in exercise style and habit of Lingnan university students before and after entering university, in order to examine our school’s effort in promoting exercise. The ultimate goal of our study is to suggest what our university can do to promote healthy habits and exercise culture in
