The Relationship Between Social Support,school Exercise Environment And College Students’ Physical Health

With With the change of social environment,the sedentary behavior of college students increases and the opportunities to participate in physical activities gradually decrease.The decline of physical health of college students has aroused great attention from all walks of life.The Chinese government attaches great importance to the physical health of college students,and has issued a series of policies to promote college students to participate in sports activities and improve their physical health.In this context,it is particularly important to study the physical health of college students.Therefore,this paper focuses on the relationship between college students’ social support,campus exercise environment and their physical activity and physical health.To explore whether physical activity plays an intermediary role between social support,campus exercise environment and physical health level.Through the research,in order to improve and promote college students physical activity and physical health to provide theoretical and practical support.This study reviewed,collated and analyzed data on social support,school exercise environment,physical activity and physical health.The physical activity questionnaire,social support questionnaire(support from friends and parents)and self-designed school exercise environment questionnaire were used to carry out a questionnaire survey on college students in nanning city,and the social exercise support,perception of school exercise environment,physical health status andphysical activity level of college students were measured.By means of correlation analysis,regression analysis and path analysis,the relationship between variables is discussed.The main research results are as follows:(1)there is a positive correlation between the physical activity of college students and their friends’ exercise support,parents’ exercise support,and perception of the school’s exercise environment;Regression analysis showed that the regression coefficients of friends’ exercise support,parents’ exercise support,and school’s exercise environment were 0.178,0.162,and 0.114,respectively,with positive values,and p < 0.001.(2)friends exercise support,physical activity and physical health have a positive correlation;Regression analysis showed that the standardized regression coefficients of friends’ exercise support and moderate to high intensity physical activity on the total score of physical fitness were 0.186 and 0.227,respectively,and p < 0.001.(3)structural equation model analysis shows that physical activity plays an intermediary role between friends’ support,school exercise environment and physical health,and its indirect effect values are 0.094 and 0.022,respectively.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)in social support,both friends’ exercise support and parents’ exercise support can positively predict college students’ physical activity,but friends’ exercise support is the most important source of support.(2)school exercise environment can positively predict college students’ physical activity.(3)both friends’ exercise support and physical activity can positively predict college students’ physical fitness score.(4)physical activity plays an intermediary role between friends’ exercise support,school exercise environment and physical health.
