“…A number of studies have found that as people grow old, their HB and LS decrease [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. In addition, in general, evidence supports that higher levels of SWB (i.e., HB and LS) are linked with more positive indicators of psychological, physical, interpersonal, and socioeconomic functioning at both the personal and societal levels [ 17 ].…”

We explored possible paths from physical and mental health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, optimism, and social support to happiness in older adults, considering hedonic balance and life satisfaction as mediators. A total of 154 Spanish male and female (50%) older adults (65–96 years old, M = 77.44, SD = 8.03; 64% noninstitutionalized elderly) voluntarily participated in this correlational, cross-sectional study. The participants completed self-reports on their perceived health status, self-efficacy, social support, optimism, and global subjective well-being (SWB) as well as its dimensions. Path analysis was used to examine direct and indirect relationships. The final model had an excellent fit with the data (χ2(10) = 11.837, p = 0.296, χ2/df = 1.184; SRMR = 0.050, CFI = 0.994, RMSEA = 0.035), revealing the unique causal effects of all the included predictors on happiness. With the exception of self-efficacy, the psychosocial resources predicted older adults’ current happiness, and this relationship was fully mediated by hedonic balance and life satisfaction, which were found to be putative intermediary factors for SWB. Self-efficacy in turn predicted the remaining psychosocial resources. Our findings extend the existing evidence on the influences of health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, optimism, and social support on SWB. Furthermore, they support the proposal of hedonic balance and life satisfaction as dimensions of SWB, thus supporting the tripartite hierarchical model of happiness. These results may inform future interventions seeking to improve happiness in late adulthood.

“…Ibáñez-Pérez, Martínez-Moreno and López-García indicate that the benefits of the older adult population being physically active have been remarked in the research literature for a long time, since physical activity has a very important impact on the quality of life [5]. This participation helps to avoid the feeling of isolation that can occur in older adults [6], by positively affecting their happiness and well-being [7].…”

Segmenting the Older Resident’s Perception of a Major Cycling Event

et al. 2020

The aim of the study is to evaluate the social perception of older adults, resident in the host communities where the stage of “La Vuelta” 2019 starts or ends, identifying the possible existing groups and comparing the results before and during the event. Community support is a critical factor in ensuring the success of a major sports event and in generating a greater sense of community involvement. In order to analyze the social perception of the event, 521 older adults were interviewed using a questionnaire of 27 items. Data were collected online in the pre-event period and face-to-face in the on-site period using tablets. A t-test and cluster analysis was carried out to identify different residents’ opinions. The results showed an improvement in the perception of the positive and negative impacts in the in situ period with respect to the pre-event. Three clusters were identified (Positives, Moderates, Haters) with the Positives group being the most represented in each of the periods. The findings suggest that a high level of future intentions for positive behavior can benefit the intangible characteristics of the event and host communities, and that these population groups can better harness the tangible benefits of sports events.

“…En general, se encuentra que las personas mayores que realizan deporte independientemente del tipo de ejercicio practicado obtienen mejorías en su estado de ánimo y bienestar psicológico (Bohórquez et al, 2013;De-Juanas et al, 2013;Rodríguez-Hernández et al, 2014). En concreto, influye positivamente sobre su autoestima, mejora la autoeficacia y la depresión (García et al, 2012;Gallego et al, 2012).…”

RESUMENSon incuestionables los beneficios a nivel psicológico de la práctica regular de actividad físico-deportiva en personas mayores, de igual modo, los programas intergeneracionales fomentan su bienestar psicológico. En este sentido algunos autores señalan la necesidad de investigar sobre los beneficios de la práctica físico-deportiva en un formato intergeneracional. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido conocer el impacto que la práctica deportiva tiene en la autoestima, autoeficacia, depresión y bienestar psicológico de las personas mayores y si el formato intergeneracional aporta beneficios diferenciales a nivel emocional. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática analizando las investigaciones que abordan esta temática desde el año 2000 hasta la actualidad. Las Bases de Datos consultadas han sido Scopus, WOS, CSIC y Dialnet. Se han analizado doce artícu-los científicos. Los resultados permiten comprobar como el deporte o ejercicio físico adaptado a personas mayores mejora su autoestima, autoconcepto, los indicadores de depresión y en general su bienestar subjetivo. De la misma forma, la práctica deportiva intergeneracional aumenta el bienestar emocional de los mayores. Si bien, en este último caso los estudios son escasos y se demanda investigación sobre la eficacia diferencial de los programas deportivos plateados entre iguales o en un formato intergeneracional.Palabras claves: Intergeneracional, mayores, bienestar psicológico, actividad física-deportiva ABSTRACT:Psychological benefits of sport between elderly vs intergenerational The benefits at the psychological level of the regular practice of physical-sport activity in elderly people are unquestionable; similarly, intergenerational programs promote their psychological
