Mood states and levels of physical activity in adults: regression analysis
Description
Mood States (MS), as elements which are part of psychological wellbeing, must be subject to improvement
through physical activity (PA) and its possible consequences on health. For this purpose, the present
research aims to analyze and describe the possible relations of the different levels of PA with the positive
and negative feelings with regard to MSs and gender. Participants were 1,002 individuals (≥18 years old,
52.9% women) who were applied: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Mood States
Questionnaire (MSQ). Bivariate correlations (Spearman) and the analysis of binary logistic regression were
also carried out. Data show significant correlations of low magnitude between the MSs of "sadness, tiredness
and liveliness" and the levels of PA. It can be concluded that PA based on the global recommendations of a
healthy practice would have a beneficial effect on the MS of individuals, and therefore it would contribute to
implement their psychological health
