Abstract

Background: The study aimed to determine whether participation in professional sports, exercise in a sports/health center, or independent exercise (dependent variables) is associated with 11 health behavior-related indicators (independent variables) compared to having no exercise.

Methods: The survey involved 293 professional Lithuanian athletes, 2,120 who exercise independently or in a sports/health centre and perform at least one of the 20 most popular exercise types in Lithuania (hereafter referred to as "E-20"), and 3,400 who do not exercise. The participants were aged 18-74 years.

Results: The study uniquely examines a comprehensive range of 11 health-related indicators: body mass index, subjective health, depressed mood, stress, sedentary behavior, physical activity, sleep, alcohol consumption, smoking, overeating, and breakfast consumption. We examined whether these indicators differ between the three populations studied, whether they are associated with specific types of the E-20 exercises, and whether these patterns differ between men and women.

Conclusion: Our study indicates that participants who engaged in physical activity generally scored higher on various health-related scales compared to those who were inactive. These benefits include reductions in depressed mood, stress, body mass index, and binge eating, as well as improvements in the regularity of breakfast consumption, vigorous physical activity, moderate to vigorous physical activity, and sleep duration (notably in men).

健康指标排名前20的最佳运动。

背景：本研究旨在确定与不运动相比，参加专业运动、在运动/健康中心运动或独立运动（因变量）是否与11项健康行为相关指标（自变量）相关。方法：调查涉及293名立陶宛专业运动员，2120名独立锻炼或在体育/健康中心锻炼，并进行立陶宛20种最流行的运动类型（以下简称“E-20”）中的至少一种，3400名不锻炼。参与者年龄在18-74岁 岁之间。结果：该研究独特地检查了11个健康相关指标的综合范围：体重指数、主观健康、抑郁情绪、压力、久坐行为、身体活动、睡眠、饮酒、吸烟、暴饮暴食和早餐消费。我们研究了这些指标在研究的三个人群中是否不同，它们是否与特定类型的E-20演习有关，以及这些模式是否在男性和女性之间有所不同。结论：我们的研究表明，与不运动的参与者相比，从事体育活动的参与者在各种健康相关量表上的得分通常更高。这些好处包括减少抑郁情绪、压力、体重指数和暴饮暴食，以及改善规律性的早餐消费、剧烈的体育活动、中度到剧烈的体育活动和睡眠时间（尤其是男性）。
