ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the factors influencing the behavioral intentions of university students majoring in physical education regarding sports-related concussion prevention and to examine the intervention effects of different teaching models. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 471 physical education students at Shenzhen University, and a model was constructed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Additionally, 90 students were selected and randomly divided into three experimental groups (short-video group, online course group, and offline course group) and a control group for a three-week educational intervention. The survey indicated that perceived behavioral control and attitude were the core factors influencing behavioral intentions for prevention. After the intervention, the short-video group showed the most significant improvement in risk identification and behavioral intention (P < 0.01). The offline course group demonstrated the optimal effects in the dimensions of knowledge, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (P < 0.01). The online course group exhibited a prominent effect in attitude change (P < 0.01). Different teaching models each possess unique advantages in enhancing various dimensions of the ability to prevent sports-related concussions. Accordingly, this study proposes constructing a three-tiered optimization strategy encompassing a knowledge system, cognitive attitudes, and social support, thereby providing a theoretical and practical basis for establishing a scientific and precise educational system for sports-related concussion prevention.
