The influence of environment on adolescents’ physical exercise behavior based on family community and school micro-systems

Environment is the driving force to promote the development of adolescent physical exercise behavior. This study uses the ecosystem theory as the breakthrough point, based on Chinese education tracking survey data (CEPS), using hierarchical linear model (HLM), mainly test the youth environment microsystem, family, community, school environment on the youth physical exercise behavior mechanism, from the perspective of environment to improve the youth physical exercise behavior. The study found that: (1) the parents' education level, parent-child relationship, educational expectation and community environment have a positive impact on the physical exercise behavior of teenagers; (2) the school environment positively affects the physical exercise behavior of teenagers; (3) the home-school relationship has a regulating effect, that is, a good home-school relationship will improve the physical exercise behavior of teenagers by affecting the educational expectation.
