The measurement tools used in this study were produced and used for research purposes by social supporters’ level of participation, emotional support, positive efficacy questionnaires, and exercise persistence tests. Results were derived from exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and mediated effect analysis using PRECESS (Hayes, 2013) Macro Model 6 of IBM SPSS 21.<BR> Results: First, children’s level of periodic sports participation had been shown to affect emotional support, positive efficacy well-being, and exercise continuation Intention, while emotional support had been shown to affect efficacy well-being and exercise continuation Intention. Second, positive efficacy well-being was also significantly affecting exercise continuation Intention, and exercise participation level was shown to affect exercise continuation Intention. In addition, emotional support and positive efficacy well-being had been identified as factors affecting exercise continuation Intention.<BR> Conclusion: In conclusion, emotional support and positive efficacy well-being have been confirmed to be partially mediated by exercise participants’ level.
