Abstract

The latest generation of digital technology raises new opportunities and challenges for the development of the physical fitness industry. How to improve the impact of fitness apps on college students’ exercise is a current research hot-spot. The purpose of this study was to explore the macro environment and micro scenario of the intelligent transformation of the physical fitness industry in the Chinese context. The study investigates the dynamic framework of China’s fitness industry and explores the influence of fitness apps on college students’(N=604) physical and mental well-being. SPSS 22.0 was used to conduct data analysis. The following conclusions were reached: (1) Fitness apps were positively associated with college students’ well-being(p<0.01); (2) Personal exercise via fitness apps mediated the relationship between college students’ mental and physical health; (3) College students exercise adherence as well as subjective exercise experience and exercise adherence.
