| In 2014,the State Council issued Document No.46,which for the first time promoted national fitness to a national strategy.The document stated that the fundamental goal is to enhance people’s physical fitness and health.Cycling,as a sport with both transportation and fitness functions,has gradually emerged,which can bring participants the effects of physical exercise and physical and mental pleasure.With the development of the economy and the advent of the leisure age,participation in leisure activities has become very important.Based on previous studies,this study evaluates the recreational benefits of cycling activities by cyclists,promotes the public to enjoy efficient leisure activities in addition to school work and leisure time,and promotes the implementation and development of the national fitness national strategy.This study uses questionnaires and stepwise regression analysis to investigate the demographic characteristics,participation motivation,leisure benefits of cycling enthusiasts,and the impact of different demographic characteristics on riding and leisure benefits.The impact of leisure benefits leads to the following conclusions:(1)There are obvious differences in the participation motivations of cyclists.The average scoring values of participation motivations from high to low are:relaxation,fitness and bodybuilding,project characteristics,self-improvement,entertainment stimulation,interpersonal communication,self-development,self-expression,and competition achievements.Among them,the average scores of the four motivations for relaxation,fitness,bodybuilding,project characteristics,and self-improvement are higher than 3.0,indicating that the cyclists is more engaged in cycling from the motivations for relaxation,fitness,bodybuilding,project characteristics,and self-improvement motion.(2)The overall level of leisure benefits of cyclists is high.The dimensions of leisure benefits are ranked from high to low: physiological benefits,cognitive benefits,psychological benefits,social benefits,and educational benefits.The average value reaches 3.0,which proves that the riding group generally agrees that the benefits of physiology,cognition,psychology,society,and education can be gained through riding activities.The specific manifestations are as follows: through cycling activities,you can pay attention to the great landscape of the motherland,care more for the motherland,exercise your body and muscles,and prevent diseases.Moreover,by participating in cycling activities,you can temporarily forget your troubles and regulate your stress.(3)There are significant differences between different demographic characteristics and participation motivations.Younger groups are more willing to participate in cycling;middle-educated cyclists have higher participation motivations;cyclists with riding ages of 2-9 years are stronger;female groups and higher-income groups participate motivations for cycling are low.Meanwhile,the presence or absence of a bicycle has less of an impact on riding a bicycle.(4)There are significant differences in different demographic characteristics and leisure benefits.Men are more able to appreciate the benefits of cycling than women;younger,middle-educated,older cyclists are more able to experience the benefits of cycling;higher incomers because of the lack of riding mobiles,are relatively difficult to experience the benefits of cycling in cycling activities.However,whether or not owning a bicycle has little effect on leisure benefits.(5)Participation motivation has a significant impact on leisure benefits.From the research point of view,different combinations of participation motivation will directly affect the gain of leisure benefits.Among them,fitness,bodybuilding,relaxation and relaxation,and entertainment stimulation to perfect oneself have a significant impact on leisure benefits.According to this study,it is believed that the development of cycling can be promoted in two aspects.The first is to value and pay attention to the leisure benefits of cycling enthusiasts and improve their participation in cycling.With the advent of the leisure era,people’s requirements for sports are getting higher and higher.Organizers should pay attention to the leisure benefits of cyclists and make people actively adhere to cycling.The second is to give a purpose-driven guide for riding enthusiasts to enhance the depth and breadth of leisure benefits.Motivations of groups with different characteristics to participate in cycling are different.Different opportunities affect the results of leisure benefits.The motivation of purposefully guiding the riders can achieve their desired goals. |
