The influence of college students' exercise participation on feelings of self-deficiency: the mediating effect of social support
Exercise participation significantly reduces feelings of self-deficiency among college students, either directly or indirectly through social support. In the future, universities can help mitigate students' self-deficiency and promote their physical and mental wellbeing by optimizing physical activity spaces and constructing social support networks from the perspectives of exercise participation and social support.
