The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cyclist's safety behavior practice on leisure satisfaction and exercise continual performance and the effect of leisure satisfaction on exercise continual performance. To this end, a theoretical model with safety behavior practice as an exogenous variable, leisure satisfaction as a mediating variable, and exercise continuity as an endogenous variable was established and verified. The data of 254 cycling club members active in Bundang, Seongnam, Suwon, Yongin, and Suji in Gyeonggi-do were used for empirical analysis. The survey tools were: Seonhwa Yun(2000) and Gyuho Kim (2019)’s Safe Behavior Practice Scale, Beard and Ragheb(1980), Hyerim Min (2021)’s Leisure Satisfaction Scale(LSS), Corbin and Lindsey(1994), Yunyoung Lee (2020), The exercise continuity performance scale(EAQ) of Yang Hong-rim(2020) was used. For the collected data, descriptive and reasoning statistical analysis and covariance structure analysis were applied using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 programs. The conclusions drawn through the above research methods and procedures are as follows.
First, there are partially significant differences in the variables of safety behavior practice, leisure satisfaction, and exercise continuity performance by gender, age, participation period, participation time, and number of times of participation in cycling club members. That is, psychological satisfaction and social satisfaction, which are sub-factors of leisure satisfaction according to age, are highest in the group under 30 years old, and there is a statistically significant difference. Safety management, which is a sub-factor of safety behavior practice according to the participation period, is the highest in the group for 3 years or more, and there is a statistically significant difference. The tendency, which is a sub-factor of sustained exercise performance according to the number of participation, was highest in the group 3 times a week, 4 times a week or more, and there was a statistically significant difference.
Second, it was found that there was a positive correlation in safety management and safety education, reinforcement, safety education and reinforcement, which are sub-factors of safety behavior practice. ,there is a positive(+)correlation in reinforcing satisfaction and reinforcing, which are sub-factors of exercise continuity, reinforcing performance and possibility.
Third, it was confirmed that the safety management of cyclists' safe behavioral practice had an effect on leisure satisfaction, and the rest satisfaction and social satisfaction of leisure satisfaction had an effect on exercise continuation performance.
In summary, it was found that the safety management of cyclists improves leisure satisfaction and is an important variable for continuous exercise performance. Therefore, it will be necessary to apply various safety behavior practice programs that can prevent deviation from exercise in order for cyclists to perform exercise continuously.
