The research on the relationship between use motivation, target orientation and sports involvement in sports intelligent wearable equipment

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the use motivation of Sports Intelligent Wearable Equipment on target orientation and Sports involvement. Taking the users of sports intelligent wearable equipment as the research object, the researchers were asked to send questionnaires and network questionnaires, total of 400 questionnaires were issued, 385 valid questionnaires were collected, the effective recovery rate was 96.25%. Data processing use descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, single factor variance analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis. The research results are: first, male was mainly using the movement of intelligent wearable equipment: for the most age were 21 to 25 years old; most of the smart wear device price are below 1000. Second, different background variables in the use motivation, target orientation and sports involvement have significant differences exist. Third, the use motivations will positively affect the target orientation; the use motivation among the curiosity and epidemics will positively affect the sports involvement; target orientation will positively affect sports involvement.

“…In relation to selfexpression the whole creative process has an impact on children's development of self-concept, self-assurance, and self-efficacy beliefs. Our point of view is based on the target-orientation theory and self-determination theory, as the elements of selfdetermination and affective factors are especially prevailing in music education (Deci & Ryan, 2012;Ryan & Deci, 2017;Yang, Shen, Lin & Lin, 2021).…”

The Effect of the Motivation of Wearable Fitness Devices Use on Exercise Engagement: The Mediating Effect of Exercise Commitment

“…Nowadays, the technology industry is booming, and through wearable technology, statistical data and information are converted into the mode of intelligent management, which is gradually introduced into people's daily life to provide convenient management information to achieve better exercise and health, to pursue better exercise performance or maintain physical health. Yang et al (5) conducted a study in 2016 on the influence of wearable device users' motivation on exercise engagement and found that "curiosity and popularity" in the motivation of use positively affected users' exercise engagement (t=2.007, p<.05). The psychological feelings of fashion, novelty, and popularity associated with the use of wearable devices increased users' exercise engagement.…”

“…Motivation to use wearable devices refers to a driving force that can guide users to take actions to meet their needs, including four dimensions: entertainment and leisure, informativeness, practicality and instrumentation, and curiosity and popularity. The "curiosity and popularity" dimension connotes fun, curiosity, fashion, technology, modernity, and superiority (5). According to Carpenter et al (6), sport enjoyment is the feeling and perception of positive emotions, such as pleasure, liking, or fun, experienced during the process of exercising.…”

“…Wearable fitness devices are gaining popularity, and new applications are being developed for their functions. In the study of wearable device users in Taiwan, it was found that the intentional motives for using wearable devices were novelty and fun, and popular trends (5,12), but whether the needs and functions of device users will change due to the change of the time is the focus of this study. Therefore, in this study, users of wearable fitness devices were studied to investigate the relationships between the motivation of use, exercise commitment, and exercise engagement and to understand the relationship between exercise commitment and exercise engagement using a structural equation model.…”
