| In the process of deep development and changes in China’s economy and population structure,the degree of population aging is also constantly deepening.In this context,improving the level of social participation of the large elderly population and promoting the active aging process of the elderly is of great significance for addressing the challenges of population aging in China and widely enhancing the happiness of the elderly in their later years.And the community is the grassroots foundation and the "first window" for the elderly to access social public services.How to start with sports public services and seek effective ways to guide the social participation of the elderly is a problem that the academic community has paid less attention to but is worth in-depth research.This article starts from the background of active aging,based on the data of China’s elderly social tracking survey,and comprehensively uses various empirical analysis methods such as correlation analysis,structural equation modeling,and hierarchical regression analysis to analyze and study how community sports public services affect the social participation of the elderly population.Firstly,this article uses descriptive statistical analysis to comprehensively analyze the current situation and fundamentals of community sports public services and elderly social participation.Then,on this basis,this article extracts and combines two key indicators representing community sports public services and elderly social participation,and uses typical correlation analysis to verify the overall correlation between the two.Then,the structural equation model is used to investigate the mesomeric effect between physical exercise and social participation and its mechanism.Finally,taking the research results as a preliminary starting point,the hierarchical regression analysis method is used to verify how the social participation level of elderly groups with different demographic characteristics,family characteristics and cultural characteristics is different.Research has found that the overall level of community sports public services and elderly social participation in China is relatively low;Improving the level of community sports public services is beneficial for promoting social participation of the elderly;The path of action in the above correlation is embodied in two layers of mesomeric effect.The first layer of intermediary factor is physical exercise,that is,the improvement of community sports public service level is conducive to promoting physical exercise for the elderly;The second mediating factor is community support,social support,and health support,that is,physical exercise promotes social participation among the elderly by improving the level of community support,social support,and health support;Gender,age,marital status,and educational level have moderating effects on the level of social participation of the elderly.Finally,based on the research conclusions of empirical analysis,this article proposes policy recommendations from five aspects: how the government promotes the construction of community sports public services and updates the mindset of the elderly. |
