Relationship between perceived park characteristics and subjective well-being
Virtuous circle between physical activity and purpose in life among college students
Purpose in Life (PIL) is a fundamental element of psychological well-being linked to various health outcomes and behaviors, including physical activity. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. Drawing on positive psychology frameworks integrating hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, we hypothesized that positive affect mediates the associations between physical activity and PIL bidirectionally. A cross-sectional study w…
Physical Activity and Meaning in Life
Relationship between physical activity and eudaimonic well-being in college students based on Ryff’s six-factor model of psychological well-being
Eudaimonic well-being, a key construct in positive psychology, is linked to both mental and physical health in college students. This study investigated how different intensities of physical activity (PA) correlate with multiple aspects of eudaimonic well-being among college students, using Ryff's six-factor model as a framework. A total of 1,131 undergraduate students (mean age = 19.74 years) completed questionnaires measuring different intensit…
Examining the role of physical activity in stress, anxiety, and depression among college students at the end of a semester
This study employed a pre-post design to examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) and mental health among college students ( N = 743) at the end of the semester. Data on PA and mental health indicators, including stress, anxiety, and depression, were collected during the third week of the semester and the week before final exams. Results revealed a significant decline in PA levels from an average of 2381.18 MET-min/week at the begi…
Impact of a Multi-Component Physical Activity Intervention on Psychological Well-Being in Older Adults
While the positive effects of physical activity (PA) on mental health are well documented, limited research has explored its influence on the positive psychological well-being in elderly individuals. This study examined the effects of a multi-component PA intervention on various facets of psychological well-being among older adults residing in retirement homes. Fifty-eight elderly individuals (mean age = 83.8 years, 76.3% female) residing in reti…
Relationship Between Physical Activity and Subjective Well-Being Among College Students
Subjective well-being is a key concept in positive psychology and is associated with a variety of physical and mental health outcomes. Physical activity (PA) is a modifiable health behavior that has been identified as a potential correlate of subjective well-being. However, the underlying mechanisms that connect PA to subjective well-being are not well-understood. This study aimed to examine the association between the PA and various components o…
How physical fitness influences academic burnout in elementary students
The Peer Effect in Promoting Physical Activity among Adolescents
For a long time, studies on the peer effect of physical activity among adolescents have focused on relevance rather than causality. This article provides empirical evidence of the peer effect of physical activity among adolescents using data from the China Education Panel Survey. The results show that the peer effect increases physical activity by about 6.757-8.984 min per week among classmates, a finding consistent with previous studies. Using t…
Technology-Enhanced 4Active Intervention Impacting Psychological Well-Being and Physical Activity among Older Adults
It is concluded that engaging in the two-level 4Active intervention including group-based multicomponent exercises and technology-enhanced self-exercises is more effective in decreasing negative affect and increasing weekly moderate PA METS-min in physically and cognitively frail older adults over time, compared with attending the group exercises alone
Assessing Elementary School Students’ Manipulative Skill Competency in China
This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Physical Education (PE) Metric Assessment Rubrics for assessing 4th-grade students' manipulative skill competency and examine how well they demonstrated manipulative skill competency. Participants were 4th-grade students at six elementary schools in China. A total of 535 4th-grade students were assessed their soccer skills and 819 4th-grade students were assessed their basketball skills…
Longitudinal Associations Between Physical Activity and Purpose in Life Among Older Adults
Objective: The purpose of the current study was to examine the bidirectional relationship between physical activity (PA) and purpose in life in an older adult sample using longitudinal data. Method: Data were collected from three waves (2006, 2010, and 2014) of the Health and Retirement Study. A total of 4591 participants who had complete information of PA and purpose in life at baseline were included in the current study. A series of cross-lagge…
