Abstract

This study adopts a qualitative research method to analyze the influence of wearable devices on shaping sports emotional pathways for college students from a digital body perspective. The main content of the research is to deeply investigate the subjective emotional changes and cognitive attitudes of college students when using wearable devices for sports. By combining in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys, the study actively attempts to comprehensively clarify the micro-level ways in which wearable devices impact students’ sports emotional pathways and explore the nuanced changes in these pathways. The research results significantly expand the research boundaries of the digital body perspective, enhance understanding of how wearable devices shape students’ sports emotions, and may potentially strengthen students’ overall perception of the digital body, optimize and stabilize their sports emotions, and potentially drive wearable device optimization to comprehensively improve the quality and effectiveness of college students’ sports participation. In summary, this study fully demonstrates the importance of considering college students’ fundamental perspectives and emotional attitudes in shaping sports emotional pathways through wearable devices, while also providing a novel perspective on the development of student sports.
