Abstract

Background: Given the limited research on behavioral determinants of using virtual exercise machines to engage in exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study applied an integrated behavior change model to identify behavioral determinants using these machines.

Method: Adult owners of livestreaming virtual exercise equipment (N = 123) completed measures of social cognition, planning, motivation, virtual exercise machine features, and sociostructural variables at an initial occasion (T1) and 4 weeks later (T2). Hypothesized relations among model constructs were tested using a cross-lagged structural equation model with past behavior and sociostructural variables as covariates.

Results: Autonomous motivation predicted intentions and habit indirectly via attitudes and perceived behavioral control at T1; virtual exercise machine features predicted intention and habit indirectly via social cognition constructs at T1; and intention and habit at T1 predicted exercise behavior at T2.

Conclusions: This study supports social cognition constructs and virtual features as predictors of exercise using virtual exercise machines.

虚拟运动器材使用的决定因素:一个综合模型调查。

背景:鉴于COVID-19大流行期间使用虚拟健身机进行锻炼的行为决定因素研究有限，本研究采用综合行为改变模型来识别使用虚拟健身机的行为决定因素。方法:直播虚拟健身器材的成年拥有者(N = 123)分别在初始时刻(T1)和4周后(T2)完成了社会认知、计划、动机、虚拟健身器材特征和社会结构变量的测量。使用以过去行为和社会结构变量为协变量的交叉滞后结构方程模型检验模型构相之间的假设关系。结果:自主动机通过T1时的态度和感知行为控制间接预测意向和习惯;虚拟运动机特征通过T1时的社会认知构念间接预测意图和习惯;T1时的意图和习惯预测T2时的运动行为。结论:本研究支持社会认知结构和虚拟特征作为使用虚拟锻炼机进行锻炼的预测因子。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
