Abstract

This study’s objective was to analyse the associations between physical activity (PA) and well-being in a representative sample of European university students. This cross-sectional study was based on data from the European Social Survey round 6, 2012, comprising 3,143 European university students (1456 men and 1687 women) from 27 countries, with a mean age of 21.3±2.9 years. Socio-demographic data, PA, health perception, and the six dimensions of well-being were self-reported. Men reported practising PA more often than women did (4.4±2.2 versus 4.1 ± 2.2, p<0.001) and had better health perception (4.2±0.7 versus 4.1 ± 0.8, p<0.001) and total well-being score (5.5±1.2 versus 5.2 ± 1.3, p<0.001). PA frequency was linearly associated with health perception (p<0.001) as well as the overall well-being score (p<0.001). There is a positive association between PA and the well-being of European university students. This emphasizes the importance of PA in the university students’ lifestyle and the need to develop programmes that reduce physical inactivity.
欧洲大学生参与体育活动与幸福感相关
本研究的目的是分析欧洲大学生的代表性样本中体力活动(PA)与幸福感之间的关系。这项横断面研究基于2012年欧洲社会调查第6轮的数据,包括来自27个国家的3143名欧洲大学生(1456名男性和1687名女性),平均年龄为21.3±2.9岁。社会人口统计数据、PA、健康感知和幸福的六个维度是自我报告的。男性比女性更经常地练习PA(4.4±2.2比4.1±2.2,p<0.001),并且有更好的健康感知(4.2±0.7比4.1±0.8,p<0.001)和总幸福感评分(5.5±1.2比5.2±1.3,p<0.001)。PA频率与健康感知(p<0.001)和整体幸福感得分(p<0.001)呈线性相关。PA与欧洲大学生幸福感之间存在正相关关系。这强调了体育锻炼在大学生生活方式中的重要性,以及制定减少缺乏体育活动计划的必要性。
