The mechanism of how adolescents’ physical self-esteem and psychological resilience influence sports participation: the chain mediating roles of exercise motivation and social support
The findings underscore the dual importance of internal self-perception and external support systems in promoting adolescent engagement in sports. By elucidating a chain mediation process, this study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of youth physical activity and offers practical implications for developing targeted interventions in school, family, and community settings.
