身体自我概念对老年人体育锻炼的影响OA

Addressing the prevalent"knowledge-action gap"in physical exercise practice among the elderly population in China,this study investigates the underlying mechanisms influencing exercise behaviors.Based on a sample of 414 older adults(aged 60 and above),standardized scales were employed to assess physical self-concept,physical exercise behavior,and self-efficacy.Results indi-cate that physical self-concept significantly and positively predicts physical exercise behavior,a relationship primarily driven by func-tional dimensions such as"physical endurance".Furthermore,self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between physical self-concept and physical exercise,with the mediating effects of dimensions such as"physical self-esteem"and"physical strength"being particularly pronounced.Notably,this positive impact remains significant across diverse demographic subgroups,in-cluding gender,age,health status,and place of residence.Based on these findings,the study proposes recommendations including transforming health discourse,empowering psychological capital,and optimizing public resource allocation,aiming to provide theoreti-cal and policy references for the national strategies of"Healthy China"and"Proactively Responding to Population Aging".
