: To compare the effect of 12-weeks of cycling training and competition versus recreational cycling on successful aging across physical, psychological, cognitive, and social functioning domains in mid-aged adults. : Recreational cyclists were randomly assigned to an intervention ( = 13, M age = 47.18 years) and comparison ( = 13, M age = 46.91 years) group. Analysis of Covariance was used on self-reported pre-post data to determine changes across time and differences between groups on outcomes. : The intervention group scored higher on the role limitation due to physical problems measure of physical functioning ( = .045) and the social activity measure of social functioning ( = .008) with large effect sizes ( > .14). The remaining physical, psychological, cognitive, and social functioning measures were not significantly different ( > .05) between groups with small to medium effect sizes ( > .01 to ≤ .06). : Cycling training and competition promotes better physical and social functioning than recreational cycling. This finding indicates that an intervention that incorporates the training and competition aspects of sport may promote positive outcomes that are above and beyond those that can be gained from participation in recreational physical activity. Objective measurements on larger samples across a broader range of sports are required to confirm and extend these findings.
: 比较 12 周的骑行训练和比赛与休闲骑行对中年成年人身体、心理、认知和社会功能领域成功老龄化的影响。 : 休闲骑手被随机分配到干预组（n = 13，平均年龄 47.18 岁）和对照组（n = 13，平均年龄 46.91 岁）。采用协方差分析对自我报告的前后数据进行分析，以确定随时间的变化和组间在结果上的差异。 : 干预组在身体功能的身体问题角色限制测量（ = .045）和社会功能的社会活动测量（ = .008）上的得分更高，具有较大的效应量（ >.14）。其余的身体、心理、认知和社会功能测量在组间没有显著差异（ >.05），具有小到中等的效应量（ >.01 到 ≤.06）。 : 骑行训练和比赛比休闲骑行更能促进身体和社会功能。这一发现表明，将运动的训练和比赛方面纳入干预措施可能会带来积极的结果，超出了从参与休闲体育活动中获得的结果。需要在更广泛的运动范围内对更大的样本进行客观测量，以证实和扩展这些发现。
