Influence of Football Exercise on Social Adjustment of Primary School Students:The Mediating Effect of Self-esteem and the Moderating Effect of DRD2 Gene Polymorphism
Objective:The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of football exercise on the social adjustment of primary school students,as well as the mediating effect of self-esteem in this process and the moderating effect of DRD2 gene polymorphism.Methods:The self-esteem and social adjustment scales were measured on 341 primary school students in grades3-4(174 in the EG and 167 in the CG).Further we apply the Sanger sequencing to detect the COMT gene polymorphism of 165 primary school students(106 in the EG and 59 in the CG).The EG conducted football intervention for two semesters,and the CG only participated school physical activities that focused on ordinary physical fitness.ANOVA was used to analyze the change of each research indicator during the experiment,AMOS and PROCESS program was used to analyze the mediating effect of self-esteem and moderating effect of DRD2 gene polymorphism.Results:1)In terms of self-esteem and social adjustment,the group×time interaction effect is very significant,self-esteem and social adjustment levels of the EG and the CG have been significantly improved,but the improvement of the EG is greater;2)Compared with regular physical activities,self-esteem plays a greater mediating effect between football exercise and social adjustment;3)Compared with the DRD2 CC genotype,among students carrying the T allele,the mediating effect of self-esteem increased by 0.134.Conclusions:Compared with regular physical activities,football is more effective in promoting the self-esteem and social adjustment development of primary school students;Football can provide more positive effects for children's social adjustment development through the mediating effect of self-esteem;The carriers of DRD2 T allele can obtain more self-esteem enhancement benefits during football exercise,thereby promoting the development of social adjustment.
