“…Our survey revealed that men had higher vigour and lower fatigue than women. These findings confirm previous findings [ 28 , 29 ]. The finding that the mood profile improves with age was unexpected, although similar results have been obtained earlier [ 28 , 29 ].…”

“…In addition, previous studies also have shown that one’s mood profile depends on PA, but those studies did not distinguish the structure of PA (i.e., neither the time when it occurred nor its intensity [ 7 , 8 ]. It is known that PA improves emotional health, and previous research clearly shows that PA improves emotional intelligence [ 28 , 29 ].…”

Background The aim of our study was to determine how six mood indicators (vigour, fatigue, depression, anger, confusion, tension) depend on moderate to vigorous physical activity, walking time and sedentary time at work, after working hours and during leisure time, in men and women of different age groups. Methods A total of 1,140 individuals aged 18 to 64 years participated in the study. The participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional survey using a snowball sampling method. An online questionnaire was shared through popular social networks and emails within the period October 2019 to June 2020. Mood responses were assessed using The Brunel Mood Scale-LTU. Physical activity was assessed using the long International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, a two-way analysis of variance, and linear regression analysis were used to interpret the data. Results The survey results showed that vigour and fatigue correlated significantly only with leisure-time moderate to vigorous physical activity. The present results show a significant positive correlation between women and men moods and leisure-time moderate to vigorous physical activity, the length of time walking to work and back home, and negative correlation between moods and leisure-time sedentary behaviour. However, there was no significant correlation between moods and work-related moderate to vigorous physical activity and household moderate to vigorous physical activity, walking at work, and sitting duration at work. Conclusions This study provides theoretical implications of the physical activity paradox, justifying the benefits of moderate to vigorous physical activity practiced in different circumstances. According to the regression analysis, exercising men in all age groups moved the most (had a higher moderate to vigorous physical activity level) during leisure time, the highest work-related moderate to vigorous physical activity was observed in men and women with lower education, and the highest household moderate to vigorous physical activity was observed in older age men and women living in rural areas. Clinicians and leaders at all levels of health care should consider the greater importance of leisure-time physical activity for mental health when choosing the most targeted physical activity recommendations for mood profile improvement in men and women of different age groups.

This research aims to determine the correlation between physical activity, stress and sleep quality with Emotional Intelligence (EI). This type of research is quantitative correlational research. The population in this research were students at the Faculty of Sports Science, Universitas Negeri Padang. 100 students participated in this research agreed to be the sample. The data in this research were obtained by the instruments distributed in the form of a questionnaire. The variables in this research were physical activity using the IPAQ questionnaire instrument, stress using the DASS questionnaire, sleep quality using the PSQI questionnaire instrument and EI using the WLEIS questionnaire instrument. The analytical technique used was inferential statistical analysis with the Spearman rank test. The results of hypothesis testing showed that, (1) There was a significant positive correlation between physical activity and EI (0.029 < 0.05). (2) There was a significant negative correlation between stress and EI (0.008 <0.05). (3) There was a significant negative correlation between sleep quality and EI (0.001 < 0.05). ( 4) There was a significant negative correlation between physical activity and stress (0.041 < 0.05). ( 5) There was a significant positive correlation between stress and sleep quality (0.000 < 0.05). ( 6) There was no significant negative correlation between physical activity and sleep quality (0.309 > 0.05). This research showed that there was an interrelated correlation between physical activity, stress and sleep quality on EI. However, there was no significant correlation between physical activity and sleep quality. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain the quality of physical activity in order to avoid stress so as to get good sleep quality and maintain EI.

“…Regarding these findings, Wang et al [ 50 ] affirm the importance of physical education in the school curriculum, as they state that through physical sports practice a regulation process is carried out through which disruptive states are channeled. Furthermore, it has also been shown that not just any type of physical activity brings benefits in the emotional area, as research by Skurvydas et al [ 51 ] shows that improvements at the emotional level are observed when physical activity is carried out at a moderate or vigorous level.…”

Currently, there is a global concern with regard to the lifestyles of young people. This study aims to study the association between Mediterranean diet adherence, emotional intelligence and physical activity practice in teenagers in the last cycle of elementary education. In turn, this objective is divided into (a) developing an explanatory model of the practice of physical activity, Mediterranean diet adherence and emotional intelligence; and (b) developing a multi-group model according to the gender of the participants. A descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted in a sample of 293 elementary school students (M = 11.45; S.D = 0.31). The instruments used were an ad hoc socio-demographic questionnaire, the Trait Meta Mood Scale-24, the KIDMED questionnaire and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children. The results show that males show a positive relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and emotional intelligence and between emotional intelligence and physical activity. In contrast, in the case of females, a negative relationship was observed between emotional intelligence and physical activity. In conclusion, it can be seen that gender plays a fundamental role in adolescence, being a key factor influencing an active and healthy lifestyle.
