Abstract

This study examined the effects of the "Campus Sunshine Running" program on students' personality development.

The participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group, and their personality traits were assessed using Cartel's 16 Personality Factors (16PF) questionnaire before and after the intervention. The study results show that, following the intervention, the experimental group exhibited significant changes in several personality indicators (P<0.01) The experimental group participated in the "Running in the Sun on Campus" program for 12 weeks, with three training sessions per week, while the control group maintained its initial physical activity habits.
