Effect of Physical Exercise on College Students'Learning Engagement:The Role of In-tentional Self-regulation and Future Orientation in Chain Mediation
Objective To explore the relationship between physical activity,intentional self-regulation,future orientation and study in-put.Methods A survey of 670 college students was conducted and analyzed using the Physical Activity Rating Scale,the Learning In-put Scale,the Youth Future Orientation Questionnaire,and the Intentional Self-Regulation Questionnaire.Results 1)Physical activity positively predicted learning input,future orientation and intentional self-regulation.Future orientation positively predicted intentional self-regulation,and learning input.Intentional self-regulation positively predicted learning input.2)Regression analyses confirmed that both future orientation and intentional self-regulation had partial mediating effects in physical activity and academic engagement,future orientation and intentional self-regulation acted as chain mediators in physical activity and academic engagement.Conclusions 1)Physical activity,future orientation,intentional self-regulation,and academic engagement are related to each other.2)Future orienta-tion and intentional self-regulation mediate the relationship between physical activity and academic engagement.3)Participation in physical activity can mediate the academic engagement of college students through the chain mediation of two factors:future orientation and intentional self-regulation.
