How does rest intolerance affect physical exercise? A dual-pathway mediation model of exercise adherence and psychological resilience.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the influence of rest intolerance on physical exercise levels among university students. It examined the independent mediating roles of exercise adherence and psychological resilience, as well as their serial mediation through exercise motivation. Methods: A survey was administered to 24,979 university students from 155 institutions across 17 provinces in China. The survey included the Rest Intolerance Scale-8 (RIS-8), Exercise Adherence Scale, Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale, Exercise Motivation Profile for Physical Activity (MPAM-R), and Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3). Data were analysed using SPSS 27.0 with the PROCESS macro, employing 5,000 bias-corrected bootstrap resamples to test mediation effects. Results: Correlation analysis revealed that rest intolerance exhibited significant positive correlations with exercise adherence ( Conclusion: Rest intolerance exerts a direct inhibitory association on physical exercise, yet its indirect pathways exhibit dual-directional influences through 'behavioural persistence promotion' and 'motivation depletion inhibition', thereby obscuring the overall association. Exercise adherence serves as the most critical positive mediator, while diminished motivation quality constitutes a negative chain mechanism. Interventions targeting university students with high rest intolerance must concurrently guide healthy persistence strategies and enhance motivational autonomy alongside psychological resources.
