Abstract:
Objectives To explore the relationships between the current physical exercise behaviors and psychological factors of middle school students,so as to provide scientific evidence for improving health education and carrying out targeted health intervention measures.Methods The Multi-stage stratified sampling and cluster sampling method was adopted to choose 3600 students from 12 junior and senior middle schools in Hangzhou,Wuhan and Xi'an.The date was collected using the adolescent physical exercise behavior-psychological measurement scale(Chinese version).The structural equation model was built to explore the relationships between psychological factors(including the change of strategy,decision balance positive effect,decision balance negative effect and self-efficiency)and physical exercise.Results The change of strategy has biggest effect on physical exercise behaviors,with the standardized direct effect value of 0.344.The standardized direct effect value of decision balance negative effect,decision balance positive effect and self-efficiency were 0.071,0.093 and 0.169 respectively.The negative correlation among the four dimensions was significant statistically.Conclusion Psychological factors have direct effects on the change of the behaviors,and the change of the strategy has the largest impact on physical exercise behaviors of middle school students.The four psychological factors are closely correlated with one another,which is important in formulating middle school sports programs to promote the physical quality of middle school students.
