Through frequency analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling, the following results were obtained: First, the motives for participation in sports for all activities among club members showed statistically significant causal relationships with perceived physical self-efficacy, particularly in terms of perceived physical abilities and physical self-expression confidence. Second, perceived physical abilities and physical self-expression confidence among club members were statistically significantly related to their quality of life.
