Abstract

This study investigated the mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between home-based physical activity and general well-being among 311 Chinese university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the Physical Activity Rating Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and General Well-Being Scale, the study found a significant positive correlation between home-based physical activity and both self-esteem and general well-being. Furthermore, self-esteem fully mediated the relationship between medium and large amounts of home-based physical activity and general well-being, accounting for 32.5% of the total effect. The study concludes that self-esteem plays a crucial role in the positive impact of home-based physical activity on the general well-being of university students during periods of pandemic-related restrictions.
