Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the participation in leisure sports activities and its impact on happiness among college students at Zhengzhou Technology and Business University, and to evaluate the effect of a newly developed leisure sports activity model on happiness. The R&D (research and development) method was used to systematically explore the impact of college students' participation in leisure sports activities on happiness. The research purposes include: 1) Investigate the participation in leisure sports activities of college students at Zhengzhou Technology and Business University and its impact on happiness;
2) Develop and design a leisure sports activity model suitable for college students to enhance their happiness; 3) Evaluate the model effect in practical applications. The research results are based on a questionnaire survey of 375 college students and found that students prefer to engage in light exercise, such as cycling and walking in the park, 1-2 times a week for 0.5-1 hour each time. These activities can help improve happiness. The researchers designed the PSDF-PERMA leisure sports activity model for college students. After experimental verification on 30 college students, the PSDF-PERMA model showed significant effects in improving happiness. Most participants were satisfied with the overall arrangement, time, project settings, facilities and equipment of the activities. Overall, participants generally believed that leisure sports activities have a positive impact on improving well-being, but there is still room for improvement in terms of enhancing social interaction.
