| 摘要: | The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on various aspects of daily life, including physical activities (PAs) and health, leading to the introduction of online teaching and learning at all levels and fields, including sport and physical education (PE). Therefore, this research identified the pathways between the physical literacy (PL), self-efficacy (SE), intrinsic motivation (IM), and course satisfaction (SAT) of older adults in online sports course learning contexts. This research utilized convenience sampling methods to collect data from 60 surveys distributed to older adults participating in senior online sports courses at a university in Taiwan in 2021. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation test, and hierarchical regression were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that PL is positively associated with IM, SE, and SAT. Furthermore, IM in sporting contexts is a potential mediator between PL and SAT. However, SE is not have significantly associated with the mediation between PL and IM. The findings of this research suggested that PL is directly related to SE and IM, and it's also associated with higher SAT through the state of IM in older adults. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen the PL of older adults and promote their continuous participation in PA behaviors actively, as this is an important indicator of healthy aging. |
