“…It has been argued that these constructs are hierarchically related to PA with proximal HRQOL (often represented by indices of physical and mental health status) predicting distal QOL (i.e., satisfaction with life) (Elavsky et al 2005;Motl and McAuley 2010). Similar to other studies on the PA-QOL relationship (McAuley et al 2006(McAuley et al , 2008, in this study, we conceptualized global QOL as a general satisfaction with life.…”

“…This core construct of social cognitive theory has been found to have a pervasive impact on all areas of human functioning (Bandura 1997), including the ways in which PA influences QOL in older adults. Other mediating cognitive factors include outcome expectations, perceived social support, or self-regulation (Bandura 1997;McAuley et al 2003McAuley et al , 2006McAuley et al , 2011. There have been numerous attempts to explain the nature of the relationship between PA and QOL in older adults by considering self-efficacy and other social-cognitive variables (McAuley et al 2008;Rejeski and Mihalko 2001;White et al 2009).…”

It has been shown that self-efficacy is both a determinant and a consequence of PA and is also a mediator of the relationship between PA and various aspects of QOL, including physical and mental health status and satisfaction with life (McAuley et al 2006(McAuley et al , 2008McAuley and Morris 2007).…”

Despite efforts to expand global physical activity (PA) surveillance data to include both low-and high-income countries worldwide, our understanding of the relationship between PA and quality of life (QOL) in older adults from culturally diverse backgrounds is limited. We tested McAuley's social-cognitive model of the PA-QOL relationship in the cultural context of the Czech Republic, a post-communist central European country. A total of 546 older Czech adults (mean age 68 years) completed a battery of questionnaires assessing indicators of PA, self-efficacy, health status, and global QOL. A structural equation model was used to test the relationship between PA and QOL. The model hypothesized an indirect relationship between PA and QOL: PA predicted self-efficacy, which in turn predicted global QOL through mental and physical health status. The analyses indicated an acceptable fit of the proposed model, albeit with different emphases than those of studies from Western countries. Above all, we observed a stronger effect of PA on self-efficacy and a weaker mediating effect of health status on the PA-QOL relationship. Our findings supported the validity of McAuley's PA-QOL social-cognitive model for a non-Western cultural context. However, it seems that self-efficacy and health status may influence the PA-QOL relationship in this population in a manner different from that proposed in McAuley's model.

“…According to Zullig and White (40) little research has examined the association between life satisfaction, self-rated health (SRH), and physical activity concurrently. However, the research on the relationship between physical activity and life satisfaction indicate a positive relationship between these two variables (6,13,25,28,31). In order to investigate the relationship between physical activity and life satisfaction Labudzki and Tasiemski (24) found that more than 50% of the respondents were classified as being highly active and that the total sample was "rather satisfied" with life "as a whole".…”

The purpose of this study was to find out the physical and non-physical education students' physical self-concept and satisfaction with life. 470 students were selected randomly as two sample groups (physical and non-physical education students). The valid sample of study was 449. The two questionnaires employed here were the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ-S) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. SPSS 20 was used to produce the Mean; Standard Deviations; Pearson's Product Moment Correlation (r); One-Sample and Independent t-test; and One-Way Analysis of Variance. The results showed that there was significance difference between non-physical and physical education students about physical self-concept in overall and nine dimensions, except factors of coordination and sport. Physical education students have a positive understanding of their body in comparison with non-physical education students. The results also showed, there was no significance difference between non-physical education and physical education students about satisfaction with life. T h e re w a s al so relatively low positive correlation between physical self-concept in overall and nine dimensions with life satisfaction except factors of body Fat and health. Based on the research findings, it is recommended that universities should pay more attention to physical activity.

“…The benefits of regular exercise are widely acknowledged. Older adults can achieve specific benefits as exercise may offset the rapid decline in muscle mass, aerobic capacity (Chrysohoou et al 2014) and cognitive function (Hogan 2005;Snowden et al 2011), as well as enhancing psychological wellbeing and quality of life (McAuley et al 2006;Penedo and Dahn 2005). Despite these benefits, many older adults remain sedentary and few achieve the recommended levels of physical activity needed to accrue these health benefits.…”

There is a demand for effective training methods that encourage exercise adherence during advancing age, particularly in sedentary populations. This study examined the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise on health-related quality of life (HRQL), aerobic fitness and motivation to exercise in ageing men. Participants consisted of males who were either lifelong sedentary (SED; N=25; age 63±5 years) or lifelong exercisers (LEX; N=19; aged 61±5 years).V O 2max and HRQL were measured at three phases: baseline (Phase A), week seven (Phase B) and week 13 (Phase C). Motivation to exercise was measured at baseline and week 13.VO 2max was significantly higher in LEX (39.2±5.6 ml kg min −1 ) compared to SED (27.2 ±5.2 ml kg min −1 ) and increased in both groups from Phase A to C (SED 4.6±3.2 ml kg min −1 , 95 % CI 3.1 -6.0; LEX 4.9±3.4 ml kg min −1 , 95 % CI 3.1-6.6) Physical functioning (97±4 LEX; 93±7 SED) and general health (70±11 LEX; 78±11 SED) were significantly higher in LEX but increased only in the SED group from Phase A to C (physical functioning 17±18, 95 % CI 9-26, general health 14±14, 95 % CI 8-21). Exercise motives related to social recognition (2.4±1.2 LEX; 1.5 ±1.0 SED), affiliation (2.7±1.0 LEX; 1.6±1.2 SED) and competition (3.3±1.3 LEX; 2.2±1.1) were significantly higher in LEX yet weight management motives were significantly higher in SED (2.9±1.1 LEX; 4.3± 0.5 SED). The study provides preliminary evidence that low-volume HIIT increases perceptions of HRQL, exercise motives and aerobic capacity in older adults, to varying degrees, in both SED and LEX groups.Keywords Ageing men .

Physical activity and quality of life in older adults: Influence of health status and self-efficacy

Abstract: Our findings support a social cognitive model of physical activity's relationship with QOL. Subsequent tests of hypothesized relationships across time are recommended.
