  "abstract": "Objective\n\nIn research on adolescent physical activity, understanding how positive psychological experiences in physical education classes can be transformed into sustained participation in extracurricular physical activity has become a critical issue for bridging classroom instruction and out-of-class physical activity. Drawing on self-determination theory, the trans-contextual model, and prospect theory, the present study examines the mechanisms through which adolescents' perceived need support in physical education classes influences their sustained participation in extracurricular physical activity.Methods\n\nA two-wave longitudinal design was adopted, and data were collected from 597 Chinese secondary school students. Mediation effects were estimated using the product-of-coefficients approach combined with the bias-corrected Monte Carlo bootstrapping method.Results\n\nThe mediating effect through perceived benefits of sports participation was significant (p < 0.001). The mediating effect through loss aversion was also significant (p < 0.001).Conclusion\n\nAdolescents' perceived need support in physical education classes can promote their sustained participation in extracurricular physical activity through the sequential effects of intrinsic motivation in physical education (IMPE) and intrinsic motivation in extracurricular physical activity (IMECPA), as well as through the perceived benefits of sports participation and loss aversion elicited by extracurricular physical activity.",
