The relationship between exercise commitment and college students' exercise adherence: The chained mediating role of exercise atmosphere and exercise self-efficacy

CONCLUSIONS: Exercise atmosphere and exercise self-efficacy play a mediating role between exercise commitment and exercise adherence, with a total mediating effect value of 0.796. This study indicates that exercise commitment not only directly predicts exercise adherence, but also indirectly predicts exercise adherence through the chained mediating effects of exercise atmosphere and exercise self-efficacy. The above-mentioned mediating effect exists in female college students, while some mediating effects do not exist in male college students, thus gender has a significant impact on this mediating effect.PMID:38653082 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104253
