Abstract:
As important socializing agents of adolescents, parents may substantially influence adolescents’ physical activity but their roles in adolescents’ physical activity experience have not been sufficiently studied. Furthermore, there is a dearth of research on potential mechanisms through which parents may promote adolescents’ positive physical activity experience. Еhis study examined the impact of parental support on adolescents’ physical activity experience. Results of structural equation modeling showed that after controlling for adolescents’ gender, body mass index, and perceived overall health, parental support positively affected adolescents’ restructuring ability (i.e., ability to construct meaningful and satisfying activities during unpleasant experiences) and intrinsic motivation (i.e., activity participation driven by inherent interest and enjoyment) in physical activity, which in turn positively affected adolescents’ physical activity experience. No significant gender differences were found in these relationships.
