| The seventh census shows that China has entered the stage of deep aging.The huge group of the elderly has caused heavy pressure on China’s medical services and old-age security.The problem of the elderly has become the key to social development.The pace of active aging construction needs to be accelerated.Because of the remarkable effect of exercise psychology in the health promotion of the elderly,and the effectiveness of taking physical activity intervention to improve the physical and mental state of the elderly has been widely proved,it has become one of the focus branches in the research of health promotion of the elderly,and the research of body image method plays an important supplement to the development of exercise psychology,Since the current sports intervention focuses more on the body itself of the elderly and pays little attention to the subjective physical feelings of the elderly,exploring the impact of sports intervention on the body image can better help us promote the formation of the positive body image of the elderly,improve the physical and mental state of the elderly and enhance the happiness of the elderly in their later years.This study takes the positive body image of the elderly in urban community under the intervention of sports activities as the research object.Through the sorting of relevant literature,31 elderly volunteers in urban community were interviewed,questionnaire survey and sports activity intervention experiment.The interview data were qualitatively summarized by using the 7-step method of Colaizzi phenomenological analysis,SPSS 25.0 statistical software is used to analyze and process relevant data,and WPS Office Excel software is used to draw tables to support the statistical work of the research.The results show that:(1)Body image can directly affect the psychological state of the elderly,and the mentality of the elderly with positive body image is more positive and optimistic.The key factors affecting the subjective body feeling of the elderly in urban community come from positive body image and negative body image.The positive and negative aspects of body image can exist at the same time.The elderly can change their negative body image into neutral body image or positive body image under the intervention of sports activities;Sports activities can significantly improve the physical and mental state of the elderly,and play a good role in promoting the physical quality and mental health of the elderly,especially for the lonely and empty nest elderly;The elderly hold a positive attitude towards sports pension,fully recognize the role of sports activities in promoting physical and mental health,and recognize that sports activities can improve their positive body image;(2)Physical activity intervention can improve the positive body image of the elderly,that is,the positive feeling of subjective body.Through physical activity intervention for no less than 8 weeks,the improvement effect of physical value,sports ability,physical condition and physical strength of the elderly’s body image is significant(P < 0.05),and the improvement effect of physical attraction is not significant(P = 0.272);(3)The influence of the elderly on the physical attractiveness dimension of the sub field of self perception is not significant,and there is no significant improvement because they participate in sports activities,which shows the objectivity of self perception,and individuals will not significantly change their views on their own image due to short-term external intervention;There is little difference between the score of body image at rest and that at activity,which verifies the objectivity of personal subjective perception from another point of view;(4)The body image of the elderly in the state of sports is more positive and attractive.The positive body image has a negative effect on the elderly’s participation in sports activities.The more positive the body image,the more enthusiastic the elderly are to participate in sports activities and are more willing to participate in collective sports activities: the good sense of the elderly’s body image gradually rises with the development of sports activities,The satisfaction of the elderly from sports activities can be maintained for a certain period of time after the end of sports activities. |
