Abstract

Introduction: The lack of physical exercise is a global health concern, particularly affecting women. However, there is limited research on factors influencing women’s sports participation. Recent studies on increasing women’s physical activity levels differ in methodologies and conclusions. Motivation, as the cornerstone of most human behaviors, has important effects on female motor participation. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is an important method to study human behavioral motivation and supported by empirical evidence. In the field of women’s sports, the SDT is also widely used. This review explores the impact of SDT-related factors on women’s sports participation, considering age variations. It aims to guide future empirical research and promote PA across demographics.
Methods: This review, by searching the existing empirical literature in Web of Science, Google Scholar, Elsevier ScienceDirect, CNKI, obtained 32 independent studies, conducted a meta-analysis after coding them, considering 11 influencing factors from the integration of SDT and Basic Psychological Needs Theory.
Results/Conclusion: The study found a significant positive correlation between autonomous motivation and women’s sports participation, with identified regulation having the strongest influence. Controlled motivation showed no significant impact on women’s exercise, while amotivation had an inhibitory effect. Enhancing women’s perception of autonomy, competence, and relatedness significantly promotes sports participation. Age differences were observed in the relationship between autonomous motivation, basic psychological needs, and sports participation, with the strongest effects on women aged 25– 40, while the impact was relatively weaker in older women. The correlation between basic psychological needs and female sports participation also has a significant age difference. Thus, different measures should be taken to improve exercise participation in women of different age groups.

基于自我决定理论的女性参与体育运动的影响因素：系统回顾与元分析

介绍：缺乏体育锻炼是一个全球性的健康问题，对女性的影响尤为严重。然而，有关影响女性参与体育运动的因素的研究却十分有限。近期关于提高女性体育锻炼水平的研究在方法和结论上存在差异。动机作为人类大多数行为的基石，对女性参与运动有着重要影响。自我决定理论（SDT）是研究人类行为动机的重要方法，并得到了经验证据的支持。在女子运动领域，SDT 也得到了广泛应用。本综述探讨了 SDT 相关因素对女性参与体育运动的影响，并考虑了年龄差异。其目的是指导未来的实证研究，并促进跨人口统计学的 PA：本综述通过在 Web of Science、Google Scholar、Elsevier ScienceDirect、CNKI 上搜索现有的实证文献，获得了 32 项独立研究，对这些研究进行编码后进行了荟萃分析，从 SDT 和基本心理需求理论的整合中考虑了 11 个影响因素：研究发现，自主动机与女性体育参与之间存在明显的正相关，其中识别调节的影响最大。受控动机对女性运动没有明显影响，而非受控动机则有抑制作用。增强女性对自主性、能力和相关性的感知会明显促进其参与体育运动。自主动机、基本心理需求与运动参与之间的关系存在年龄差异，对 25-40 岁女性的影响最大，而对老年女性的影响相对较弱。基本心理需求与女性体育参与之间的相关性也存在明显的年龄差异。因此，应采取不同的措施提高不同年龄段女性的运动参与率。关键词：运动参与；自我决定理论；女性；荟萃分析
