Supplementary file 1_Relationship between exercise persistence and body image among overwe

750 overweight college students from several Chinese universities completed scales measuring exercise persistence, fat talk, body self-esteem, and body image. The data supports a chained mediation model showing how sustained exercise links to positive body image through reduced fat talk and enhanced body self-esteem. The dataset, authored by Feng Yang and last updated in June 2026, is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between exercise persistence and body image based on survey scale scores.
• Test mediation models involving fat talk and body self-esteem as sequential mediators.
• Investigate psychological mechanisms linking sustained exercise participation to body image outcomes in a specific demographic.

Strengths

• Includes survey responses from 750 participants.
• Explicitly tests a chained mediation model with four psychological constructs.
• Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The 17.2 KB file size suggests limited scope, likely containing summary statistics or a manuscript rather than raw data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for direct analysis.
