(1.School of Physical Education,Central China Normal University,Wuhan 430079,China; 2.School of Physical Education,Wuhan Sports University,Wuhan 430079,China; 3.Hubei Leisure Sports Development Research Center,Wuhan 430062,China) Abstract: Based on the theory of achievement emotion control value, the junior and senior high school students from six schools in Wuhan were surveyed and tested using five scales: teacher autonomy support, academic control,subjective task value, classroom achievement emotion, and physical exercise rating. Structural equation model was used to construct and test the path hypotheses of physical exercise behavior promotion among teenagers. The results showed that teacher autonomy support could positively predict academic control and subjective task value, respectively; academic control and subjective task value could positively predict classroom enjoyment and negatively predict classroom boredom, respectively; classroom enjoyment positively could positively predict physical exercise behavior, while classroom boredom did not negatively predict that; teacher autonomy support had a positive indirect predictive effect on physical exercise behavior through academic control, subjective task value, and classroom enjoyment, respectively. The findings from this study provide meaningful explanations for understanding how physical education promotes physical exercise among teenagers, and remind teachers of catching opportunity to adopt autonomy-supportive teaching styles to positively influence control values and classroom emotional experiences for teenagers, which in turn promote teenagers to participate in physical exercise.
