This study employed the correlational survey model to examine how regular exercise influenced life satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy in men over 65. The study sample included a total of 215 participants, of whom 110 exercised regularly (for at least 45 min, three times a week), while 105 engaged in no physical exercise. Regular exercisers were found to score significantly higher on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy scales as compared to non-exercisers. These scores also increased significantly with age and prolonged exercise history. A moderate and positive correlation was detected between life satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy among regular exercisers, while non-exercisers showed low to moderate correlations. The findings suggest that regular exercise can enhance life satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy in the elderly male population. Such effects appear to be associated with greater age and lifetime exercise history, highlighting the value of regular physical exercise in improving the quality of life among older adults.
本研究采用相关调查模型,以检验规律运动如何影响65岁以上男性的生活满意度、自尊和自我效能感。研究样本共有215名参与者,其中110人规律运动(每周至少三次,每次至少45分钟),而105人不进行体育锻炼。结果发现,与不运动者相比,规律运动者在生活满意度、自尊和自我效能感量表上的得分显著更高。这些得分也随着年龄增长和运动史延长而显著增加。规律运动者的生活满意度、自尊和自我效能感之间存在中度正相关,而非运动者的相关性则为低到中度。研究结果表明,规律运动可以提高老年男性群体的生活满意度、自尊和自我效能感。这些影响似乎与年龄增长和终生运动史有关,凸显了规律体育锻炼在改善老年人生活质量方面的价值。
