Abstract/Summary
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between depressive symptoms and exercise participation among student athletes in the Philippines and to know if the relationship was mediated by exercise self-efficacy. The population consisted of student athletes aged 18-30 years who were currently enrolled in their respective schools. The study utilized a cross-sectional explanatory non-experimental quantitative design. The results showed that there was no significant association between depressive symptoms and exercise participation. Further analyses revealed that exercise self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between depressive symptoms and exercise participation among student athletes. Implications of depressive symptoms, exercise self-efficacy, and exercise participation are discussed. Other factors in predicting exercise participation among student athletes should be further studied.
