Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural relationships among health concern, smart device utilization characteristics, and exercise adherence in older adults participating in leisure sports. A total of 230 older adults aged 65 and over, residing in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions and actively engaged in leisure sports activities (e.g., walking, park golf, fitness), were surveyed. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 18.0, employing structural equation modeling and bootstrapping for mediation analysis. The results indicated that, first, health concern had a significant positive effect on smart device utilization characteristics. Second, smart device utilization characteristics significantly influenced exercise adherence. Third, health concern also had a direct positive impact on exercise adherence. Lastly, smart device utilization characteristics were found to mediate the relationship between health concern and exercise adherence. These findings suggest that improving older adults' awareness of health and enhancing their ability to use smart devices are essential for promoting continued engagement in physical activity. Furthermore, digital-based health management and leisure sports programs should be tailored to reflect individual motivational and technological characteristics.
