Abstract

Sufficient physical activity can lead to higher self-confidence, quality of life, and mental health in college students. Conversely, insufficient physical activity can lead to obesity, cardiovascular disease, and even depression or cancer. Although college students do not exercise enough, they are more concerned about body shape and obesity than health. These concerns also lead to health problems such as stress and anxiety in college students. The study pointed out that roller skating exercise can train body shape and strengthen muscles. Therefore, this study investigates the factors influencing the intention of continuous training in roller skating by taking the students of college roller skating clubs as the subject. The results showed that altruism and mindfulness affect athletes' mental skills and mental toughness, which in turn reduce exercise fatigue and increase continuous training intention. The results will provide practical suggestions for college roller skating club instructors, organizations promoting roller skating sports, and subsequent related research.
