Abstract

In order to find out the factors influencing students' willingness to continue exercise and increase their willingness to continue exercise, I conducted an investigation on Chinese college students' motivation to exercise and to improve their healthy lifestyle. Through a questionnaire survey of 312 Chinese university students, the motivation of sports participation, the promotion of healthy lifestyle and the willingness to continue exercise were measured. The questionnaire data were collected from November 2021 to January 2022. The questionnaires were collected and processed by SPSS, and the analysis methods were frequency analysis, reliability analysis and linear regression analysis. The results show that there is a significant relationship between the motivation of exercise and the healthy lifestyle of Chinese college students and the persistence intention, and the limitations of this study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
