- Title
Self-Efficacy in Youth Exercise Commitment.

- Abstract
The present study aimed to conceptualize a model to examine the potential factors that lead youth to participate in exercise. The conceptual model was developed based on previously tested exercise commitment model (Alexandris, Zahariadis, Tsorbatzoudis, & Grouious, 2002) with additional factors of self-efficacies (i.e., coping, task, and scheduling). Structural equation modeling was performed to test the model and the findings showed that the proposed model had fair fit with the data (CFI = .962, TLI = .901, RMSEA = .09). The results indicated that investment (β = .532) and two self-efficacies [i.e., scheduling (β = .233) and task (β = .223)] were the three significant determinants for exercise commitment for youth in 7th and 8th grade (p < .001). Further, scheduling self-efficacy (β = .273, p < .005) and exercise commitment (β = .235, p < .05) contributed significantly positively on the stage of exercise participation.
