Grade five and grade six elementary school students’ behavior attitude, subjective norm and consciousness behavioral control have remarkable positive effects on behavioral intention. 2. High incentive system behavior attitude and subjective norm have direct positive effects, whereas, consciousness behavioral control does not have direct positive effects; low incentive system consciousness behavioral control has direct positive effects, whereas, behavior attitude and subjective norm do not have direct positive effects. 3. Common in all students, subjective norm and consciousness behavioral control have direct positive effects on behavioral intention, but behavior attitude does not have direct positive effects;athletes of school athletic team’s behavior attitude and consciousness behavioral control have positive direct effects on behavioral intention, on the other hand, subjective norm does not have positive direct effects.
