In the first study, this research designed sports posts with the content of affective and instrumental benefits of sport, and in the second study, it measured their effect on sports intention, emotional satisfaction, and recall among students. The purpose of the first study was to design and evaluate Instagram sports posts with captions of affective and instrumental benefits of exercise along with pictures in eight separate conditions, and the results obtained from the first study indicated that the designed posts are suitable for each condition. The second study was also a 2 x 4 experimental design, in which the participants in eight separate conditions online viewed the Instagram sports posts designed in the first study. The results also indicated that there was a significant increase in the intention to follow the sport compared to the baseline in the emotional educational conditions (t(71)=-5.45, P < 0.001) and the physical educational conditions (t(55)=-3.26, P < 0.002). has it. Also, affective and instrumental informative sports posts had more emotional satisfaction and recall scores than other posts. Therefore, viewing informative Instagram sports posts with affective and instrumental captions has been more effective in encouraging sports activities compared to neutral, seductive and textual sports posts. This study provides evidence for the use of caption-related affective and instrumental visual content in Instagram sports posts to motivate people to exercise.
