To summarize and analyze evidences of the association between physical activity and quality of life.
Systematic literature review in three electronic databases -PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO- using the following descriptors: "physical activity," "motor activity," "exercise," "walking," "running," "physical fitness," "sport," "life style," "quality of life," "WHOQOL" and "SF." There were selected 38 studies published between 1980 and 2010 that used any instrument to measure physical activity and any version of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey or the World Health Organization Quality of Life to assess quality of life.
Most studies reviewed were cross-sectional (68%), 18% experimental, 8% prospective follow-up cohort and 5% mixed-design (cross-sectional and longitudinal). The most widely used questionnaire to assess quality of life was SF-36 (71%), and physical activity was self-reported in 82% of the studies reviewed. Higher level of physical activity was associated with better perception of quality of life in the elderly, apparently healthy adults and individuals with different clinical conditions.
There is a positive association between physical activity and quality of life that varies according to the domain analyzed.
总结和分析身体活动与生活质量之间关系的证据。
在三个电子数据库 - PubMed、Lilacs 和 SciELO-中进行系统文献综述，使用以下术语：“身体活动”、“运动活动”、“锻炼”、“步行”、“跑步”、“身体适应性”、“运动”、“生活方式”、“生活质量”、“WHOQOL”和“SF”。选择了 1980 年至 2010 年间发表的 38 项研究，这些研究使用任何仪器测量身体活动，以及任何版本的《医疗结局研究 36 项简明健康调查》或世界卫生组织生活质量评估生活质量。
大多数综述的研究为横断面研究（68%），18%为实验性研究，8%为前瞻性随访队列研究，5%为混合设计（横断面和纵向）。评估生活质量最常用的问卷是 SF-36（71%），82%的综述研究中身体活动是自我报告的。更高水平的身体活动与老年人、明显健康的成年人和不同临床状况个体的生活质量更好的感知有关。
身体活动与生活质量之间存在积极的关联，这种关联因分析的领域而异。
