The psychological rejection of physical activity among overweight children and adolescents has become a critical bottleneck hindering their physicalhealth development and social integration. From the perspective of SelfDetermination Theory, this phenomenon essentially stems from the persistent frustration of three basic psychological needs — autonomy, competence and relatedness — in physicalactivity settings. It is specifically manifested as resistance to participation triggered by a lack of autonomy, experiential alienation resulting from insufficient sense of competence, and social avoidance brought about by weak sense of relatedness. Its underlying causes lie in the suppression of autonomy needs by the social utilitarian orientation, the impairment of competence needs due to the poor adaptability of activity ecosystems, and the neglect of relatedness needs stemming from inadequate social support. To alleviate such rejection psychology, an intervention system centered on need satisfaction should be constructed so as to rebuild positive connections between overweight adolescents and physical activity. Addressing this psychological dilemma is not only a practical requirement for improving students’ physical fitness, but also a theoretical demand for reflecting on the value of physical education and returning to its essential goal of talent cultivation.
