The effect of physical activity on homework effort of middle school students: the chain mediating effect of executive function and positive homework emotions
The chain mediation model of executive function and positive homework emotions between PA and homework effort reveals a novel mechanism underlying the association between PA and homework effort in middle school students. These findings suggest that middle school students should be encouraged to engage in physical activity to enhance their executive function and positive homework emotions, thereby exerting a positive effect on homework effort.
