Well-being declines during men's middle years, and while physical activity (PA) can have a positive influence, the type of PA that provides the greatest benefit is not clear. This cross-sectional study explored how participation in different types of PA is associated with the well-being and self-rated health of middle-aged and older men.
A representative sample of South Australian adults completed a survey which assessed time spent in a variety of physical activities and self-rated health, life worth, life satisfaction and previous day happiness and anxiety. This study focused on a subsample of men≥35 years of age (n=1019). Partition and isotemporal substitution analyses were used to explore relationships between different types of PA and self-rated health and well-being outcomes.
Weekly PA was positively associated with all outcomes among middle-aged men (35-64 years), but only with self-rated health and life satisfaction in older men (65+ years). Substituting out 30 mins of team sport participation with cycling, fitness/gym-based activities or other recreational activities was associated with higher self-rated health in middle-aged men. In older men, substituting 30 mins of dance with most other types of PA was related with greater self-rated health and life worth.
Total weekly PA was consistently related to the self-rated health and well-being of middle-aged men, but less so among older men. Despite some substitution effects for self-rated health, for the most part well-being was not influenced by activity substitution, particularly among middle-aged men.
男性在中年时期幸福感会下降，虽然体育活动（PA）能产生积极影响，但哪种类型的体育活动益处最大尚不清楚。这项横断面研究探讨了参与不同类型的体育活动与中老年男性的幸福感和自评健康状况之间的关联。
南澳大利亚成年人的一个代表性样本完成了一项调查，该调查评估了在各种体育活动中花费的时间以及自评健康状况、生活价值、生活满意度和前一天的幸福感与焦虑感。本研究聚焦于年龄≥35岁的男性子样本（n = 1019）。采用分割和等时替代分析来探究不同类型的体育活动与自评健康状况及幸福感指标之间的关系。
每周的体育活动与中年男性（35 - 64岁）的所有指标均呈正相关，但仅与老年男性（65岁及以上）的自评健康状况和生活满意度呈正相关。用骑自行车、健身/健身房活动或其他娱乐活动替代30分钟的团队运动参与，与中年男性更高的自评健康状况相关。在老年男性中，用大多数其他类型的体育活动替代30分钟的舞蹈，与更高的自评健康状况和生活价值相关。
每周总的体育活动与中年男性的自评健康状况和幸福感始终相关，但在老年男性中相关性较弱。尽管对自评健康状况有一些替代效应，但在很大程度上，幸福感不受活动替代的影响，尤其是在中年男性中。
