This study examined gender differences in psychological motivation and effectiveness evaluation and how these variables relate to sports adherence among college students.  We analyzed data from 782 participants (335 men, 447 women) using multiple regression, revealing that psychological motivation and evaluations of effectiveness were predictors of adherence to physical activity, with differences between genders. These insights underscore the necessity for tailored physical education strategies that cater to the distinct needs of students of different genders, thereby fostering ongoing engagement and adherence to physical activities.
