Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of perceived gamification affordances on sport commitment and exercise continuation intention among older adults using exercise applications. Data were collected via an online survey targeting Chinese adults aged 60 to 75 with prior experience using exercise applications. Using SPSS 29.0 and AMOS 26.0, the data were analyzed through frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis(CFA), reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling(SEM). The analysis results are as follows. First, all four types of perceived gamification affordances exerted a positive influence on exercise continuation intention. Second, only autonomy support and self-expression significantly enhanced sport commitment, while interactivity and competition did not.Third, sport commitment had a positive predictive effect on exercise continuation intention.Forth, sport commitment mediated the relationship between autonomy support and self-expression and exercise continuation intention.
