Physical inactivity is one of the major public health problems worldwide. Community-based interventions have been pointed out as a promising strategy to increase physical activity (PA) levels and impact population health. Recreovía is a community program with a potential to promote PA. There is growing evidence for two benefits derived from the practice of PA: an increased perception of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and life satisfaction (LS). The purpose of this study was to assess differences between leisure-time PA and perceptions of both HRQoL and LS, as well as to assess differences between perceptions of both HRQoL and LS for Recreovía and non-Recreovía participants. Data were obtained using the baseline cross-sectional survey of 1533 participants (501 belonged to the intervention group) as part of the natural experiment Al Ritmo de las Comunidades. HRQoL was measured with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-item questionnaire, LS was measured with Questions on Life Satisfaction Scale, and self-reported minutes of leisure-time PA were measured with the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The mean age of participants was 41.7 years (standard deviation (SD) = 16.3). The participants had a good overall HRQoL and LS. The mean minutes of leisure-time PA were 158.1 min (SD = 230.2) a week. Results showed that those participants who reported higher leisure-time PA levels also reported a significantly higher LS (M = 41.9, SD = 35.0) relative to participants with lower levels (M = 37.6, SD = 34.2, (1532) = -2.36, < 0.01). There were no statistical differences in the perception of HRQoL and leisure-time PA ((1532) = -1.03, = 0.30), although active people had higher scores. Both HRQoL and LS scores were higher in individuals who were participating in Recreovía ( < 0.001). Higher LS scores were found in the group with higher leisure-time PA, while HRQoL showed no differences. Better psychological well-being indices were found in the Recreovía group.
身体活动不足是全球主要的公共卫生问题之一。基于社区的干预措施已被指出是提高身体活动水平和影响人群健康的有前途的策略。Recreovía 是一个具有促进身体活动潜力的社区项目。越来越多的证据表明，身体活动有两个好处：提高健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）和生活满意度（LS）。本研究旨在评估休闲时间身体活动与 HRQoL 和 LS 感知之间的差异，以及评估 Recreovía 和非 Recreovía 参与者的 HRQoL 和 LS 感知之间的差异。数据来自作为自然实验 Al Ritmo de las Comunidades 的一部分，对 1533 名参与者（501 名属于干预组）进行的基线横断面调查。HRQoL 使用欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织 30 项问卷进行测量，LS 使用生活满意度量表问题进行测量，休闲时间身体活动时间使用国际身体活动问卷长版本进行测量。参与者的平均年龄为 41.7 岁（标准差（SD）= 16.3）。参与者的整体 HRQoL 和 LS 良好。休闲时间身体活动的平均时间为每周 158.1 分钟（SD = 230.2）。结果表明，报告较高休闲时间身体活动水平的参与者的 LS 也明显更高（M = 41.9，SD = 35.0），而报告较低水平的参与者的 LS 更低（M = 37.6，SD = 34.2，（1532）= -2.36，<0.01）。在 HRQoL 和休闲时间身体活动感知方面没有统计学差异（（1532）= -1.03，= 0.30），尽管积极的人有更高的分数。参与 Recreovía 的个体的 HRQoL 和 LS 得分均较高（<0.001）。在休闲时间身体活动水平较高的组中，LS 得分较高，而 HRQoL 则没有差异。在 Recreovía 组中发现了更好的心理幸福感指数。
