The purpose of this study was to examine the structural relationships among grit, exercise adherence, and perceived performance in college Taekwondo breaking athletes. To this end, a survey was conducted with Taekwondo breaking athletes enrolled in universities located in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions, and a total of 382 questionnaires were used for the final analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 28.0 and AMOS 23.0 through frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling.
The results indicated that both sub-factors of grit—perseverance of effort and consistency of interest —had significant effects on exercise adherence. In addition, perseverance of effort had a significant effect on perceived performance, whereas consistency of interest did not show a significant effect.
Furthermore, exercise adherence was found to have a significant effect on perceived performance.
These findings suggest that sustained effort and the psychological intention to continue exercising play an important role in promoting continued participation and positive performance perception among college Taekwondo breaking athletes.
