From grit to flourishing: physical literacy’s mediating role in enhancing well-being among college students with obesity
These findings serve as an initial step in understanding how physical literacy, particularly the ability to interact with the environment, partially mediates the relationship between grit and well-being among college students with obesity. Future interventional research aiming to enhance physical literacy-especially environmental engagement-is needed to confirm whether it can amplify the positive impact of grit on well-being. A multifaceted approach that fosters both psychological traits and physical competencies may prove beneficial in improving the psychological and physical health of this population.
