- Abstract
To investigate the effects of exercise and fitness on the four types of well-being (subjective well-being, psychological well-being, social well-being, and realization of well-being) of the elderly. Methods adopt the "Well-being Questionnaire" to select the elderly in Nanchang City as the research objects. 50 old people from the exercise and fitness group and the lack of exercise group were selected respectively by stratified random sampling. Results show that the subjective well-being score of the exercise and fitness group was 4.79±1.13, the psychological well-being score was 5.02±1.24, the social well-being score was 5.27±1.29, and the realization of well-being score was 3.37±0.92. The exercise and fitness group was higher than those in the lack of exercise group (p<0.01) in subjective well-being, psychological well-being, and social well-being, and there was no statistically significant difference in the realization of well-being. The conclusion is that exercise fitness has a positive effect on the subjective well-being, psychological well-being and social well-being of the elderly, and the impact on the realization of well-being is not significant.
