Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between college students' exercise identity and physical exercise, as well as the chain mediating role of exercise intention and exercise plan.Methods:Using the exercise identity scale, exercise intention scale, exercise plan scale and physical exercise rating scale, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 2 452 college students.After 324 sets of invalid questionnaires were excluded, a total of 2 128 sets of valid questionnaires were obtained.SPSS 27.0 and Mplus 8.3 software were used to statistically process the collected data and establish structural equation model.Results:The results of the partial correlation analysis showed that after controlling for the demographic variables of gender and grade, the four variables of college students' exercise identity (38.80±11.55), exercise intention (14.28±3.61), exercise plan (25.61±9.21), and physical exercise(23.25±21.33) were positively correlated with each other ( r=0.58-0.74, all P<0.05). Exercise intention and exercise plan acted as partial individual mediators between exercise identity and physical exercise in college students, respectively, with mediating effects of 0.39 (95% CI=0.32-0.46), 0.07 (95% CI=0.04-0.11), and chain mediating effect of exercise intention and exercise plan of 0.06 (95% CI=0.04-0.09). Conclusion:Exercise identity can not only directly influence college students' physical exercise, but also indirectly influence college students' physical exercise through the two mediating variables of exercise intention and exercise plan.
