Physical activity is a great remedy to prevent diseases, as well as to keep us healthy and improve our physical, mental, and social health. One of the many benefits of physical exercise is emotional regulation, which allows us to provide an adequate response to everyday situations in addition to controlling our own emotions. High-level athletes face multifactorial stressors that can affect their quality of life.
We explored the relationship between quality of life and emotional regulation using questionnaires that measure self-reported quality of life and how they cope with stressful situations in 54 mountain athletes with a mean age of 21.88 (SD = 7.88). We also investigated gender differences and demographic location in this population, as they are subjected to very high moments of stress in competition, with the risk that this modality entails.
Rural areas have better physical and psychological health, with higher scores on quality of life and adaptation dimensions. Women have a worse quality of life, specifically in psychological health, with worse coping mechanisms.
It is important to design strategies that improve these mechanisms, specifically in urban areas and the female sex, to improve their emotional regulation and quality of life.
体育活动是预防疾病的良药，能让我们保持健康，改善身体、心理和社会健康状况。体育锻炼的诸多益处之一是情绪调节，这使我们能够对日常情况做出适当反应，并控制自身情绪。高水平运动员面临多种可能影响其生活质量的压力源。
我们使用问卷来探究生活质量与情绪调节之间的关系，这些问卷用于测量54名平均年龄为21.88岁（标准差 = 7.88）的山地运动员自我报告的生活质量以及他们应对压力情况的方式。我们还研究了该人群中的性别差异和人口统计学位置，因为他们在比赛中会承受极高的压力时刻，存在这种运动方式带来的风险。
农村地区的身体和心理健康状况更好，在生活质量和适应维度上得分更高。女性的生活质量较差，尤其是在心理健康方面，应对机制也更差。
设计改善这些机制的策略非常重要，特别是在城市地区和女性群体中，以改善他们的情绪调节和生活质量。
