| description | To explore the influence of exercise atmosphere on college students’ physical exercise and its mechanism of action, the Exercise Atmosphere Scale, Enjoyment Scale, Exercise Self-efficacy Scale, Social Physique Anxiety Scale, and Physical Exercise Rating Scale were used to investigate 1265 college students. The results showed that: (1) exercise atmosphere directly impacted physical exercise and indirectly influenced physical exercise through three mediating pathways (e.g., the mediating role of enjoyment, the mediating role of exercise self-efficacy, and the chain mediating role of enjoyment and exercise self-efficacy); (2) social physique anxiety negatively moderated the influence of exercise atmosphere on enjoyment and exercise self-efficacy, respectively, and negatively moderated three mediating pathways of exercise atmosphere influencing physical exercise through enjoyment and exercise self-efficacy. The results are helpful in enriching the research on exercise atmosphere and college students’ physical exercise and provide useful insights for schools and related organizations to strengthen college students’ physical exercise. |
