“…In order to establish future lines of research, it would be interesting to specifically determine the degree of physical intensity from which the well-being of the elderly improves. In this sense, [30] it should be noted that the relationship between physical activity and happiness in the elderly has not been studied sufficiently.…”

Life expectancy and longevity present a great and urgent challenge due to the increase of population older than 65 years. This circumstance generates some high scientific, health and economic demands for facing the future ahead. Prevention of noncommunicable diseases related to population aging, aims to improve physical and psychological quality of life and consequently it has been implemented as a main measure of health policies. In this respect, the practice of physical activity and its effects on emotional variables is considered of great interest in this significant population as a preventive health step. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe the variables studied in relation with the practice of physical activity. For this purpose, a search was carried out in ScienceDirect, SportDiscus and Pubmed using as keywords "physical activity", "aging", "emotion" and "health"; limited to a time interval between 2007 and 2018. As a result of this search, a significant amount of publications regarding the benefits of depression, anxiety and stress in aging were found. However, attention is now being paid to the benefits of physical activity like reinforcement of positive states such as greater well-being and good mood. In conclusion, in the present work the studies related to the benefits of physical activity are examined in order to know its impact on the psychological well-being. The data suggest that the greatest benefit is provided by a medium intensity aerobic exercise, of between 30 and 60 minutes, practiced twice a week. Future studies should explore the benefits of physical exercise in psychological variables through a longitudinal design in order to verify a slowdown in the effects of aging.

“…Para los atletas de élite jugar eficientemente en equipo significa confiar en los jugadores, compartir sentimientos positivos, sincronizar los movimientos y centrar la atención en los pases, y es entonces, cuando se experimenta flujo (Schiepe-Tiska y Engeser, 2012). Además, la práctica de actividad física produce una multitud de efectos psicológicos positivos (e.g., aumento de la autoconfianza y la autoeficacia, mejora del funcionamiento cognitivo, mayor sensación de bienestar y mejora de los estados emocionales, así como una reducción de la ansiedad, la depresión y el estrés (Brown, Mishra, Lee, y Bauman, 2000;García, Bohórquez, y Fernández, 2014;Sampedro, 2015).…”

Esta investigación estudia las actividades físico-deportivas como una fuente de flujo compartido o de experiencia óptima y su relación con el bienestar subjetivo. Se presentan dos estudios con estudiantes universitarios (N=88, N=285) que participan en actividades físicas y deportivas en grupo. Las medidas incluyen la calidad de la participación en la actividad, el flujo individual y compartido, las emociones positivas, y el bienestar subjetivo. El primer estudio muestra que el flujo compartido fue más intenso que el individual. En el segundo estudio, se realizaron análisis factoriales confirmatorios (AFC) y análisis de mediación múltiple. Los resultados mostraron una estructura factorial de segundo orden con nueve dimensiones de primer orden, además de los efectos mediadores del flujo compartido y de las emociones positivas en el bienestar subjetivo. Se confirma la relevancia del flujo compartido durante los encuentros colectivos y su relación con el bienestar subjetivo.Palabras clave: Deporte y actividad física, bienestar subjetivo, flujo compartido, emociones compartidas.Shared flow in collective physical and sports activities and subjective well-being. This study examines physical and sport activities as a source of shared flow or optimal shared experiences and their relationship with subjective well-being (SWB). Two studies are presented with university students (N=88 and N=285) participating in group sports and physical activities. Measures included the degree of engagement in the activity, individual and shared flow, positive emotions, and subjective well-being (SWB). The first study showed that shared flow was more intense than individual flow. In the second study, confirmatory factor analyses and multiple mediation analyses were performed. The results showed a second order factorial structure with nine primary dimensions, in addition to mediating effects of shared flow and positive emotions on SWB. The results confirm the relevance of shared flow during collective gatherings and its relations with SWB.
