The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on sports participation worldwide, including in Republic of Korea. Due to the restrictions and safety measures implemented to prevent the spread of the virus, many individuals have had to alter their sports participation. Therefore, this study conducted a meta-analysis based on studies applying the Model of Goal-directed Behavior (MGB) in sports participation to compare the pre- and post-COVID-19 eras in Republic of Korea. By analyzing 18 selected studies involving 5772 Korean respondents, the study investigates the relationships between MGB variables and sports consumption behaviors pre- and post-COVID-19. This study found that all correlations with the MGB were significant, indicating the applicability of the MGB in understanding sports participation in Republic of Korea. Moreover, the moderating effect of COVID-19 was identified in the relationships between subjective norms and desire and between perceived behavioral control and desire. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors influencing sports participation in Republic of Korea. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for sports managers and policymakers in Republic of Korea to develop strategies and interventions that can promote and support sports participation during challenging times.
新冠疫情对全球体育参与产生了重大影响，在韩国亦是如此。由于为防止病毒传播而实施的限制措施和安全措施，许多人不得不改变他们的体育参与方式。因此，本研究基于在体育参与中应用目标导向行为模型（MGB）的研究进行了一项荟萃分析，以比较韩国新冠疫情前后的情况。通过分析18项选定的研究，涉及5772名韩国受访者，该研究调查了新冠疫情前后MGB变量与体育消费行为之间的关系。本研究发现，与MGB的所有相关性均具有显著性，表明MGB在理解韩国体育参与方面具有适用性。此外，在主观规范与欲望之间以及感知行为控制与欲望之间的关系中，确定了新冠疫情的调节作用。本研究的结果有助于更深入地理解影响韩国体育参与的因素。此外，该研究为韩国的体育管理者和政策制定者制定在具有挑战性的时期促进和支持体育参与的战略和干预措施提供了有价值的见解。
