Objective:
This study aims to investigate the impact of "flow experience" on college students' willingness to adhere to physical exercise, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of "perceived value" and "satisfaction".
Methods:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 435 college students using convenience sampling. The collected data was analyzed using factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM), aiming to test the proposed hypotheses and mediating effects.
Results:
Flow experience demonstrated a significant positive effect on the willingness to adhere to physical exercise (β = 0.325, p < 0.001). Perceived value (β = 0.287, p < 0.001) and satisfaction (β = 0.263, p < 0.001) also exhibited significant positive effects. Furthermore, perceived value and satisfaction were found to serve as partial mediators in the relationship between "flow experience" and behavioral willingness, with no statistically significant difference in the indirect effects between these two factors.
Conclusion:
Meeting the inner needs of college students, particularly by enhancing their perceived value and satisfaction during exercise, represents an effective approach to fostering their willingness to adhere to physical exercise. These findings suggest that interventions designed to improve the immersive quality of exercise could be a viable strategy for promoting sustained participation.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
