Lee, Y., Sung, H., Cho, H. (2024). A longitudinal study on the bidirectional relationship between adolescents’ physical activity and life satisfaction. International Journal of Sport Psychology, 55(4), 313-333.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between physical activity and life satisfaction in adolescents. We used Autoregressive Cross-lagged Model (ACLM) to investigate the longitudinal relationship and utilized four years of data (N = 1,897) from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey, which was conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute. Results showed that physical activity and life satisfaction were found to be s over time.

In addition, we found that physical activity at a previous time point had a significant and consistent impact on life satisfaction at subsequent time points. Conversely, life satisfaction at a previous time point was found to have a consistent effect on physical activity at the subsequent time point. This study demonstrates that physical activity and life satisfaction mutually influence and impact each other, indicating that they have a reciprocal relationship.

In conclusion, it is noteworthy that life satisfaction has a strong influence in predicting physical activity, and that it needs to be considered as a priority and acts as a motivational factor for specific behaviors.

We often use words without stopping to understand their value. This is the case when we talk about passion. What do we mean when we say that we are passionate about something, that amateurs (nowadays more frequently called masters), for example, are passionate about swimming, running or cycling. That is, that I do the work I’ve always wanted to do.

Passion consists of a particularly strong motivation towards a well-defined activity, it is very useful to understand what drives to training, study or work. A survey conducted in 2019 had highlighted that 55% of Italians are satisfied with their work. satisfaction is at a lower level than passion although positive and determined by experiences evaluated as rewarding.

Passion emerges in those jobs that involve a certain degree of creativity and are perceived by those who perform them as more exciting, since they require autonomy, decision-making skills and divergent reasoning. Those who consider it necessary to introduce innovative factors into their professional experiences, as opposed to those who make more conservative choices, are certainly among those who perform work with passion. Athletes who have succeeded in turning their passion for their sport into a job fall into this category. Outside the work context, those who are engaged in activities driven by the pleasure they provide, from which they derive no gain or material recognition, are individuals turned to cultivating a passion.

Like any psychological dimension, passion can be interpreted in a constructive and pleasant way and in another more negative way, in this case we can talk about:

Harmonious passion, it is based on autonomous motives. pleasure and the feeling of mastery.
Obsessive passion, consists in feeling obliged or compensate for other aspects of the personality. Reduces concentration. Obstructs self-regulation.
