Abstract

This systematic review investigates the relationship between perceived physical literacy (PL), motivational orientations, and physical activity (PA) among Chinese college students. Utilizing the College Student Physical Literacy Questionnaire (CSPLQ) and the Situational Motivational Scale (SIMS), it emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to understanding and promoting PA. The study reveals a strong correlation between students' perceived PL and their PA levels, highlighting the role of self-perception in physical competence and the value of PA in fostering active participation. It also explores the impact of intrinsic motivation and identified regulation on PA, noting the variability of external regulation's effects. Conducted across major databases like PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, the review synthesizes evidence to inform targeted, culturally sensitive interventions for enhancing PA among this demographic. It identifies research gaps, urging future studies to further explore PL and motivational orientations within the Chinese higher education context. This work aims to inform policies, educational programs, and health initiatives to encourage lifelong PA habits, ultimately improving students' health and quality of life.
