In order to find out the PE teaching factors affecting university students’ exercise persistence, 53 undergraduates were selected for the open questionnaire. Assumption was put forward and a PE teaching factor scale was designed. Then, Exercise Persistence Scale was used for the survey of 2072 students. The result of confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis shows that there are 5 teaching factors affecting exercise persistence, i.e., teacher evaluation, practical content, interest correspondence, knowledge & skill, cognitive experience. These 5 factors have far-reaching influence upon students’ exercise behavior after the PE class. The more recognition the PE teachers accepted, the longer the students will persist in exercise. The stronger the practicality of the PE teaching content is, the higher the students’ interest will be aroused. This helps students persist in exercise. The knowledge and skills learned in PE classes and the experience of benefiting from exercise help cultivate students’ exercise behavior. |
