Research On The Relationship Between Exercise Persistence And Exercise Benefit Cognition And Exercise Self-efficacy

Long term and regular physical exercise is beneficial to people’s physical and mental health,and the one-off or irregular physical exercise is of little value.Exercise Adherence is a hot point in the field of exercise psychology and social sports.Scholars at home and abroad focused on how to promote people’s exercise persistence for a long time,but the mechanism of exercise persistence is still unclear.The study shows that they are two important factors that affect the persistence of exercise,one of them is cognition of exercise benefit,another is exercise Self-efficacy.This study suggests that exercise benefit cognition may have causality with exercise persistence,There are two ways that exercise benefit cognition can effect exercise adherence,one way is the direct effect of exercise,exercise benefit cognition can effect exercise adherence directly;another way is the indirect effect of exercise,exercise benefit cognition can indirect effect exercise adherence trough exercise self-efficacy.It means exercise self-efficacy exerts mediating effect on exercise benefit cognition and exercise adherence.In this paper,writer used questionnaire and statistical analysis method and chose 440 college students to research the relationship between exercise adherence,exercise benefit cognition and exercise self-efficacy.Tested the effect of mediating of exercise self-efficacy.And finally draw some conclusion as below:1.There is a significant positive correlation between exercise benefit cognition and exercise persistence,the higher the individual’s evaluation of exercise benefit,the more inclined to insist on exercise.2.There is a significant positive correlation between the self-efficacy of exercise and the persistence of exercise.The stronger the self-efficacy of the individual,the more inclined to persist in exercise.3.There is a positive correlation between the cognition of exercise benefit and the sense of self-efficacy.The higher the individual’s evaluation of exercise benefit,the stronger the exercise self-efficacy.4.Exercise efficiency cognition has a direct effect on exercise persistence,while exercise benefit cognition has indirect effects on exercise persistence through exercise self-efficacy.Exercise self-efficacy plays a significant mediating role between exercise efficiency cognition and exercise persistence.
