Bienestar psicológico, personalidad y actividad física. Un estilo de vida para la vida adulta

Abstract

Practice of physical activity is increasingly important for people both as a recreational activity as a health activity. Although it is difficult to find human behaviors that do not have any influence on the health and well-being, it´s possible to show conduct that are among the most important risk factors of major health problems today such as consumption alcohol, obesity and snuff. Regular healthy physical exercise following programmes or frequent and regular autonomous activities improves mental health, autonomy, memory, speed, body image and the feeling of wellbeing, while producing personal stability characterised by optimism, emotional clarity and mental flexibility, leading to a longer life and better health. This model of psychological wellbeing based on the development of human potential and physical exercise, indicates that some aspects of psychological wellbeing are perceived as being more important than others (e.g., self-acceptance, personal growth or life purpose) when studied in relation to autonomy or coping strategies. This study picks perceptions of subjective well-being of adults (N = 482) aged between 24 and 46 years using Scale psychological welfare Ryff's, selfAcknowledgment: This research was partly supported by the financial assistance provided to the "Psicología de la Salud/Medicina Conductual" Research Group (CTS-0267) by the Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa, Junta de Andalucía (Spain).

Effect of Physical-Sports Leisure Activities on Young People’s Psychological Wellbeing

“…The findings from this study confirm that young people with a preference for performing physical-sports activities in their leisure time present higher average scores in all the dimensions of wellbeing compared to those who do not perform any type of physical-sports activity. These data are congruent with those provided by other studies that have found a direct relationship between both variables (Babyak et al, 2000;Sale et al, 2000;Cantón, 2001;Chen, 2001;Penedo and Dahn, 2005;Romero et al, 2009;Greenleaf et al, 2014;Reigal et al, 2014;González-Hernández et al, 2017;McMahon et al, 2017).…”

“…Over the last two decades, the relationship between physicalsports activities and psychological wellbeing has attracted the attention of the scientific community. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a direct relationship exists between both variables (Babyak et al, 2000;Sale et al, 2000;Cantón, 2001;Chen, 2001;Romero et al, 2009;Reigal et al, 2014;González-Hernández et al, 2017). In addition, all types of physical-sports activities have been identified as favoring positive psychological wellbeing (Penedo and Dahn, 2005) regardless of the environment in which they are preformed (Lawton et al, 2017).…”

“…Positive attitudes and behaviors toward performing physical activity conditions people's perceptions of their own health and psychological wellbeing (Mackay et al, 2011). In this regard, positive relationships based on indicators of persistence, psychological wellbeing and self-efficacy give rise to a combination that encourages personal growth and increases satisfaction via the effort involved when performing physical activity (González-Hernández et al, 2017).…”
