The impacts of physical activities (PAs) on psychological and physical health consequences have been examined in both nonclinical and clinical contexts. Although PAs' influences on physical consequences are regularly beneficial, the psychological positive impacts are less well-understood. This study investigates the effects of PA on physical consequences (i.e., physical self-esteem) and psychological and cognitive consequences (i.e., quality of life and learning experience). PA has been found to improve quality of life (QOL), learning experience (LP), and physical self-esteem. Mixed findings from prior studies suggested that the relationship between these variables might be direct or indirect. Data were collected via a self-administrated questionnaire from 510 higher education students in different Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) universities. The collected data were analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM) and the SmartPLS 4 program. The SEM results show that PAs directly help in enhancing the student learning experience. The results support the mediating role of student physical self-esteem and quality of life in the relationship between physical activities and learning experience. Several theoretical and practical implications were elaborated on and discussed, along with limitations and further research opportunities.
在非临床和临床环境中,都研究了身体活动(PA)对心理和身体健康结果的影响。尽管 PA 对身体结果的影响通常是有益的,但对其心理积极影响的理解还不够充分。本研究调查了 PA 对身体结果(即身体自尊)以及心理和认知结果(即生活质量和学习体验)的影响。研究发现,PA 可以提高生活质量(QOL)、学习体验(LP)和身体自尊。先前研究的混合结果表明,这些变量之间的关系可能是直接的,也可能是间接的。数据通过沙特阿拉伯(KSA)不同大学的 510 名高等教育学生的自我管理问卷收集。使用结构方程模型(SEM)和 SmartPLS 4 程序对收集的数据进行了分析。SEM 结果表明,PA 直接有助于提高学生的学习体验。研究结果支持学生身体自尊和生活质量在身体活动与学习体验之间的关系中具有中介作用。阐述并讨论了一些理论和实际意义,以及局限性和进一步的研究机会。
