Multi serial mediation model containing age and sex. Age is a continuous co-variable; gender is described as a two-level categorical variable where male=1 and female=2. Social support is described by three manifest indicators (partnership support, information support, and respect support). Self-efficacy is described by bad mood, support deficiency, and time deficiency; VIPA is vigorous-intensity physical activity and MIPA is moderate-intensity physical activity. (0.000) represents significant path coefficients at the .001 level and (0.01), at the .05 level.
