Effects of physical activity participation on subjective well-being of Chinese residents: mediating effects of physical health status and perceived social development by Pingqiang Wei, Ting Qin, Chengyi Zhu

“…Multiple linear regression models, structural equation models, and bootstrap methods were employed to assess the mediating effects of these variables.Results(1) Physical exercise participation can improve residents’ subjective well-being (β=0.084, t = 4.67) and promote the development of positive psychology. (2) Physical health status has a mediating effect on the impact of physical exercise participation on residents’ subjective well-being, with a mediating effect calculated at 0.05 (95% CI [0.01, 0.09]). (3) The cognitive level of social development has a mediating effect on the influence of physical exercise participation on residents’ subjective well-being, with a documented mediating effect of 0.04 (95% CI [0.01, 0.08]). (4) Both physical health status and social development cognition collectively exhibit a chain mediating effect on the relationship between physical exercise and subjective well-being, with a combined mediating effect of 0.07 (95% CI [0.04, 0.10]).ConclusionParticipation in physical activity has a positive effect on residents’ subjective well-being, with physical health status and social development cognition serving as chain mediators in this relationship. …”
