N = 3,089. The direct and indirect effects of physical exercise on meaning in life are shown in this table. Boot SE, Boot LLCI, and Boot ULCI refer, respectively, to the standard error and the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval of the indirect effects estimated by the percentile bootstrap method with deviation correction. Indirect effect 1: physical exercise → self-efficacy → meaning in life; indirect effect 2: physical exercise → life satisfaction → meaning in life; indirect effect 3: physical exercise → self-efficacy → life satisfaction → meaning in life. Compare 1: indirect effect 1–indirect effect 2; compare 2: indirect effect 1–indirect effect 3; compare 3: indirect effect 2–indirect effect 3.
