“…However, alcohol dependence was unrelated to the level of physical activity. Research from the general population [11,12] supports the current findings suggesting that until a certain level or a 'ceiling effect' is reached, higher consumption of alcohol is associated with higher levels of physical activity. Given this, it is likely that physical activity, particularly when vigorous in nature, serves as a reward by activating the same neurobiological reward systems that substance use or other rewards do [27].…”

“…Two general population-based studies identified contrasting associations between levels physical activity and levels of alcohol consumption. French et al [11] found that alcohol consumption was positively related to physical activity at vigorous intensity while Smothers et al [12] identified an 'inverted J' association; that is, the likelihood of displaying a physically active lifestyle increased from abstinence to moderate drinking, then declined at heavier consumption. Differences in findings between both studies could be due to differences in physical activity measurements used.…”

Background: Physical activity might promote mental and physical health in persons with alcohol use disorder. Understanding the barriers and facilitators of participation in physical activity in persons with alcohol use disorder is an essential first step in order to devise effective physical activity interventions.Objective: The present review provides a systematic quantitative review of the correlates of physical activity in people with alcohol use disorder.Methods: Major electronic databases were searched by two independent authors from inception till June 2014. Keywords included 'physical activity' or 'exercise' and 'alcohol dependence' or 'alcohol abuse' or 'alcohol use disorders' or 'alcoholism'.Results: Five papers evaluating 14 correlates were included. Three studies reported that alcohol dependence was unrelated to physical activity behavior, while alcohol abuse showed positive associations in 2 studies. No demographic variable was related with physical activity participation. Functional impairments and distress associated with alcohol use disorders including increased smoking rates, obesity, anxiety, depression and a lower self-efficacy may limit one's ability to be physically active. Data on social, environmental and policy related factors are currently lacking. No included study assessed physical activity levels utilizing objective measurements (e.g. pedometers, accelerometers). Conclusion:Although the literature on physical activity correlates in persons with alcohol use disorder still is equivocal, our varied findings support the hypothesis that the participation in physical activity by people with alcohol use disorder is determined by a range of complex factors.

“…Results suggest that in general adult samples this is often the case, and alcohol interventions targeting physical activity have been found to be efficacious in reducing drinking. [8][9][10][11] Surprisingly, several cross-sectional studies with college students have suggested that there may be a positive relationship between physical activity and alcohol consumption. [11][12][13] For example, one study investigated the relationship between physical activity and alcohol use in a sample of 2,436 college students ages 18 to 23.…”

“…The positive effect of physical exercises on person's mood and well-being is well-known (Cunha, Giatti, & Assunção, 2016;Çakmak, Süt, Öztürk, Tamam, & Bal, 2016;Alexinschi, Chirita, Manuela, Ciobica, Dobrin, Petrariu, Chirita, 2015). Conversely, the degree of physical activity is known to be relatively higher in moderate drinkers and relatively lower in problematic drinkers (Kunz, 1977, Bertolucci, 2001. The heavier the dependence on alcohol is the more healthy habits are lost.…”

The Proceedings cover different aspects of mental health research concerned with human life resource and life potential, as well as applied aspects of health psychology.The editorial policy was based on the principles of selection and reviewing of all submitted manuscripts. At the first stage all the manuscripts underwent an initial review by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board before peer-review in order to assess whether their content complied with the Conference theme. The manuscripts which did not comply with the subject matter of the Conference have been rejected. At the second stage all the manuscripts underwent a double blind review process: each work was reviewed by two experts from the Board of Reviewers; reviewing procedure was anonymous both for the experts and authors.In case of positive review results provided by both experts the contributions were included in the Editor-in-Chief Portfolio. At the third stage manuscripts underwent scientific style as well as language literacy assessment and language editing. This work was carried out by the team of Language Editors. Based on the results of the three stages of reviewing the list of the manuscripts recommended for the publication in the Conference Proceedings has been defined.The problem of assessment, prophylaxis and preserving human psychological health is of utmost importance today. Its relevance is determined, first, by the fact that both a person and his / her development as a healthy and autonomous personality represent a subject of a psychological research. Second, recent global transformations impose special requirements to the person seeking for health preservation, self-development, and self-actualisation. Among these requirements there is readiness to act in new, unpredictable conditions, to make decisions in unstable situations and to bear responsibility for one's decisions. To meet these requirements, a person should be able to see opportunities for self-development and self-fulfillment in the surrounding world, finding new meanings of his / her life activity.Existence of life resource and life potential expands the scope of any person's activities, turning the person's significant life purposes into more achievable ones. Resources are known to subjectively increase the value of a person both in his / her self-perception and in the eyes of others, making the person stronger, more prominent and proactive.Among various human resources health is a fundamental one. At the same time, life potential is not a less important characteristic, since it ensures human capacity to create, develop and use life conditions, factors and circumstances which are beneficial for an organism.Considering human health through the prism of life potential, it is necessary that the value of health within culture of its formation should be the highest, being defined not so much by the need for self-preservation but for self-improvement.The presented Proceedings are the result of both scientific studies in Psychology and fruitful and prospective long-term inte...
