Men and women report different exercise habits and reasons for exercise. Given that quality of life is affected by exercise habits and reasons for exercise, the present study explored gender differences among these variables. Participants reported quality of life, exercise habits, and motives. Results revealed that women (n = 108) reported significantly higher exercise and quality of life levels than men (n = 72). Women reported exercising for weight loss and toning more than men, whereas men reported exercising for enjoyment more than women. Reasons for exercise predicted quality of life for women over exercise. For men, exercise was the best predictor of quality of life. Ultimately, exercise is not beneficial for a woman's quality of life under all conditions.
男性和女性报告的锻炼习惯和锻炼原因有所不同。鉴于生活质量受锻炼习惯和锻炼原因的影响,本研究探讨了这些变量之间的性别差异。参与者报告了生活质量、锻炼习惯和动机。结果显示,女性(n = 108)报告的锻炼水平和生活质量水平显著高于男性(n = 72)。女性报告为减肥和塑形而锻炼的次数多于男性,而男性报告为享受而锻炼的次数多于女性。锻炼原因对女性生活质量的预测作用超过了锻炼本身。对于男性来说,锻炼是生活质量的最佳预测指标。最终,锻炼并非在所有情况下都对女性的生活质量有益。
