With the rapid development of media network technology, college students' exercise is influenced by the use of fitness apps. How to improve the impact of fitness apps on college students' exercise is a current research hotspot. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence mechanism of fitness apps usage intensity (FAUI) on college students' exercise adherence.
A large sample of Chinese college students (N=1300) completed measures by using the FAUI Scale, Subjective Exercise Experience Scale, Control Beliefs Scale and Exercise Adherence Scale. SPSS22.0 and Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS were used to conduct statistical analysis.
(1) FAUI was positively associated with exercise adherence (< 0.01); (2) Subjective exercise experience (<0.01) mediated the relationship between FAUI and exercise adherence; (3) Control beliefs (<0.01) moderated the relationship between FAUI and exercise adherence as well as subjective exercise experience and exercise adherence.
The findings reveal the correlation between FAUI and exercise adherence. Furthermore, this study is important in investigating how FAUI is related to exercise adherence in Chinese college students. The results suggest that college students' subjective exercise experience and control beliefs may be prime targets for prevention and intervention programs. Thus, this study explored "how" and "when" FAUI may enhance college students' exercise adherence.
随着媒体网络技术的快速发展，大学生的锻炼受到健身应用程序使用的影响。如何提高健身应用程序对大学生锻炼的影响是当前的研究热点。本研究的目的是探讨健身应用程序使用强度（FAUI）对大学生锻炼坚持性的影响机制。
一大样本中国大学生（N = 1300）使用FAUI量表、主观锻炼体验量表、控制信念量表和锻炼坚持性量表完成测量。使用SPSS22.0和用于SPSS的Hayes PROCESS宏进行统计分析。
（1）FAUI与锻炼坚持性呈正相关（<0.01）；（2）主观锻炼体验（<0.01）介导了FAUI与锻炼坚持性之间的关系；（3）控制信念（<0.01）调节了FAUI与锻炼坚持性以及主观锻炼体验与锻炼坚持性之间的关系。
研究结果揭示了FAUI与锻炼坚持性之间的相关性。此外，本研究对于调查FAUI与中国大学生锻炼坚持性之间的关系具有重要意义。结果表明，大学生的主观锻炼体验和控制信念可能是预防和干预项目的主要目标。因此，本研究探讨了FAUI如何以及何时可能增强大学生的锻炼坚持性。
