Abstract

Objective: Preference for outdoor and indoor exercises is essential when choosing a place to exercise. This study compared adults' healthy lifestyle behaviors and life satisfaction according to physical activity location preferences.

Subject and methods: The study is conducted using a cross-sectional design between May and October 2023, with visitors to a gym (n = 270). The study sample included participants in the activities of two outdoor sports groups and two gyms operating.

Study: The questionnaire for data collection consists of demographic characteristics, Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile (HPLP), Life Satisfaction Scale (SLS), Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R (TFEQ). Percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA posthoc analysis, and Chi-square tests were used to analyze the data.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 25.87 ± 8.59 years. The rate of people doing indoor activity is 67.4%. The rate of those who prefer outdoor exercise is 87.8%. Many parameters were significant for indoor and outdoor exercisers compared to those in a single location (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Healthy lifestyle behaviors are better for those who prefer both locations for exercise. A fuller picture of this study is that balance is important for the preference of outdoor and indoor exercises. Individuals should be encouraged to exercise outdoors and indoors.

期刊介绍： Public Health Nursing publishes empirical research reports, program evaluations, and case reports focused on populations at risk across the lifespan. The journal also prints articles related to developments in practice, education of public health nurses, theory development, methodological innovations, legal, ethical, and public policy issues in public health, and the history of public health nursing throughout the world. While the primary readership of the Journal is North American, the journal is expanding its mission to address global public health concerns of interest to nurses.
