“…56 In addition, personality traits (known as the 5-factor model) are associated with increased physical activity and could provide an additional link for health-care providers when determining appropriate physical activity recommendations. 57,58 Higher extraversion, conscientiousness and openness, and lower neuroticism (from the 5-factor model) are typically associated with higher physical activity levels. 59 Combined with affect assessment, personality trait assessments could indicate which types of activity are the most relevant for each individual (e.g., high-intensity interval training versus a walk in the neighborhood park).…”

“…59 Combined with affect assessment, personality trait assessments could indicate which types of activity are the most relevant for each individual (e.g., high-intensity interval training versus a walk in the neighborhood park). 58 Timing of affect measurement is also important to consider. According to the PANAS, affect can be measured on a variety of time scales ranging from the last 24 hours to the past month.…”

Background: Only 21% of U.S. women meet the recommended physical activity guidelines, placing them at increased risk for long-term conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Physical activity is influenced by individual and interpersonal factors (e.g., romantic partners). Individual factors, such as positive affect, are associated with lower mortality risk and improved health behaviors. Objectives: This secondary data analysis, guided by Fredrickson’s Broaden and Build Theory, aims to examine the relationship between positive affect of married women (n = 115 couples) and their physical activity behavior on the same- and next- day, while also considering their spouses’ positive affect. Methods: Two population average models assessed the relationship of calm and happy (positive affect) to physical activity. Physical activity was assessed as the sum of the minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) over the prior 24 hours. Covariates of age, baseline activity frequency, education, marital quality, and race/ethnicity were also included. Results: Women’s happiness ( β = 0.15, p < .005), not calmness ( β = −0.03, p = .60), was found to have a significant association with same-day MVPA. Spouses’ happiness ( β = 0.11, p = .045) was significantly associated with women’s next-day MVPA while their calmness ( β = −0.04, p = .44) was not. Conclusions: The results of this study support that incorporating positive affect could be valuable for improving physical activity behaviors. Spouse reports provide additional context to consider in physical activity promotion research.

“…The personality of karatekas, regardless of the adopted training goals, is shaped by their physical activity [ 15 ]. This is noticeable in sports [ 16 ], physical education [ 17 ], tourism [ 18 ] and recreation [ 19 ]. Therefore, there is no difference in personality profiles between kata and kumite athletes [ 20 ].…”

This article is a continuation of the research on personality in combat sports in karate. The authors’ goal was to verify the relationship between personality and age of kyokushin karate practitioners. The male national team of Ukraine in karate kyokushin (N = 7) participated in the personality study with the use of the Big Five model. The NEO-FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory) Personality Questionnaire was applied as a research tool and the package of statistical methods IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 (IBM Polska, Warszawa, Poland) was used to compute the research results. The study showed that there were differences in the intensity of openness to experiences between individual samples only at the level of the statistical trend. Masters showed a higher level of openness to experiences in relation to juniors (p = 0.081) and seniors (p = 0.097). Also, a negative and strong correlation between the intensity of neuroticism and conscientiousness among the respondents was noted. A conclusion was drawn that, with age, karatekas probably manifest greater openness to experience, which is the result of their sports experience, high sports level and pro-health values of karate. On the other hand, good emotional adaptation of karatekas is strictly related to conscientiousness.
