“…Compared with numerous studies about environmental factors, few studies focused on internal and social support factors. Yikeranmu et al found that both self-efficacy and social support are positively related to physical activity of adolescents aged 18-21 years old in the city of Xi'an [46]. To our knowledge, no previous study specifically focused on the effect of social support on rural older people's physical activity in China.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of social support factors with leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) of older people in Fuwen village. A cross-sectional study included 523 randomly selected elderly people (60+ years) whose LTPA levels were determined using the shortened version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-S). A modified version of the Physical Activity Social Support Scale (PASSS) was operated to gather perceived scores of the social support factors. A multivariate linear regression was performed to locate associations of perceived scores of social supports with leisure-time walking (LTW) and moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The results indicated that social support from family was positively and significantly related to LTW and MVPA in both models. The community factor was positively and significantly correlated with MVPA in both models. The sport club factor was related to LTW and MVPA to some extent. The results suggest that social support from family is the most important motivator for older people’s LTW and MVPA in the village of Fuwen. Social support from the community is the motivator for older people’s MVPA. The sport club factor has some effects on older people’s LTW and MVPA as well. More future studies are needed to extend the database of the relationship between social support and rural older people’s physical activity.

“…Physical exercise can enhance the body's tolerance, reduce the self-loss from fatigue, and improve its self-control ability (Chan et al, 2013). The findings of Yiming et al (2023) suggest that physical exercise can reduce people's level of ego depletion and help reduce their negative effects such as inferiority feeling and depression. Thus, ego depletion may be an important bridge for physical exercise to influence inferiority feeling in children and adolescents with disabilities.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physical exercise on inferiority feeling of children and adolescents with disabilities and its mechanism of action, as well as the mediating role of self depletion and self-efficacy.MethodsThe following scales were administered to 546 children and adolescents with disabilities (mean age 15.6 years): The Feelings of Inadequacy Scale, (FIS), the Self-Regulation Fatigue Scale (S-RFS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the Physical Exercise Rating Scale.Results(1) Physical exercise can directly and negatively predict inferiority feeling, self-depletion, and can directly and positively predict self-efficacy; self-depletion can directly and negatively predict self-efficacy. Similarly, self-depletion positively predicts inferiority feeling; physical exercise and self-efficacy can also directly and negatively predict inferiority feeling. (2) The indirect effect of the path with self-depletion as the mediating variable was – 0.05, the indirect effect of the path with self-efficacy as the mediating variable was – 0.09, and the indirect effect of the path with self-depletion and self-efficacy as the mediating variables was – 0.04. (3) The sum of all indirect effects was – 0.18, and the three indirect effects accounted for 15.6%, 28.1%, and 12.5% of the total effect, with mediating effect was 56.2%.ConclusionPhysical exercise can indirectly predict inferiority feeling in children and adolescents with disabilities through the independent mediation of self-depletion and self-efficacy, as well as through the chain mediation of both. This study supports that moderate physical exercise has a positive effect on the mental health of children and adolescents with disabilities, and that reducing self-depletion and improving self-efficacy are important ways to prevent inferiority feeling among children and adolescents with disabilities. It reveals the relationship between physical exercise and inferiority feeling and its mechanism of action, and further improves the research on the effect of physical exercise on inferiority feeling of children and adolescents with disabilities.
