The intention of Chinese college students to use sports smart wearable devices based on the technology acceptance model and technology readiness index.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
With the rapid advancement of technology, sports-related technological products such as wearable smart devices have expanded from professional athletic settings into daily life. This study aims to explore the theoretical foundations of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Technology Readiness Index (TRI), to understand the factors influencing college students' acceptance and use of sports smart wearable devices. A total sample of 428 college students (48.3% male and 51.7% female) participated in this investigation. Data was collected using the Likert five-level scale of the TAM, which was then analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. The results indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, privacy concerns, innovation, curiosity, health needs, and social motivation all positively influence college students' use of sports smart wearable devices. In addition, the level of technology readiness significantly moderated this process. The results showed that all research hypotheses were supported, and the model exhibited a good fit. This study expands the application boundaries of TAM and TRI in the field of sports health, provides a theoretical basis and practical implications for the product design of smart wearable devices, the reform of physical education in colleges and universities, and market promotion, and contributes to the improvement of college students' physical health under the goal of Healthy China 2030.
