“…Two studies assessed sport participation and flourishing. One identified a near significant ( p = .053) difference between current and former cricket participants ( Bullock et al, 2020 ), while the second reported no difference between male and female Masters field hockey players ( Croteau et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Participation in sport was identified to have a positive influence on self-rated health in three studies ( Froom et al, 2004 ; Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 ; Woitas-Ślubowska & Skarpanska-Stejnborn, 2010 ) while no association was reported for self-assessed mental health ( Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 ). Three studies provided mixed results, with one identifying a positive influence for men living in West-Germany but not East-Germany ( Luschen et al, 1997 ), another identified decreasing self-rated health with increased self-reported sport participation in 26 to 45 year old’s (mean age 36 years) but a positive influence in 46 to 65 year old’s (mean age 56 years) ( Downward et al, 2016 ), while the third did not find any difference between male and female players of the 2018 United States Masters field hockey team ( Croteau et al, 2019 ).…”

“…The remaining 19 studies, whose primary aims were not to specifically assess the relationship between middle-aged male sport participation and subjective health (e.g., investigate and compare the quality of life (QoL) in endurance runners of differing diets ( Boldt et al, 2018 )), provided data on male sport participants’ subjective health. Six studies compared a sporting sample to a non-sporting/general population sample ( Bullock et al, 2020 ; Grunseit et al, 2017 ; Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 ; Mayolas-Pi et al, 2017 ; Moreira et al, 2016 ; Munguia-Izquierdo et al, 2017 ; Swain et al, 2016 ), 9 studies compared individuals who reported sport participation versus those that indicated no sport participation via a questionnaire ( Downward et al, 2016 ; Froom et al, 2004 ; Knapik et al, 2009 ; Luschen et al, 1997 ; Marlier et al, 2015 ; Omorou et al, 2013 ; Snyder & Spreitzer, 1974 ; Woitas-Ślubowska & Skarpanska-Stejnborn, 2010 ), while six studies had no non-sporting comparator group ( Abotsie et al, 2020 ; Boldt et al, 2018 ; Croteau et al, 2019 ; Hall & Houlbrook, 2019 ; J. Kim et al, 2014 ; Pori et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Six studies assessed overall health using one to two single self-reported questions, while one also assessed self-reported mental health. Two studies focused on specific sports (field hockey ( Croteau et al, 2019 ), ice hockey ( Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 )], while the others considered sport participation more broadly. Participation in sport was identified to have a positive influence on self-rated health in three studies ( Froom et al, 2004 ; Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 ; Woitas-Ślubowska & Skarpanska-Stejnborn, 2010 ) while no association was reported for self-assessed mental health ( Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 ).…”

“…Across the identified literature, six of eight studies of team-sport participants reported positive effects on physical HRQoL ( Bullock et al, 2020 ; Moreira et al, 2016 ), mental HRQoL ( Moreira et al, 2016 ), self-rated health ( Kitchen & Chowhan, 2016 ), or outlined themes of improved well-being, in part through developing social connections ( Abotsie et al, 2020 ; Hall & Houlbrook, 2019 ; J. Kim et al, 2014 ). Of the two that did not follow this pattern, one only provided data to compare males and females and did not identify a difference in self-rated health or flourishing ( Croteau et al, 2019 ), while the other identified no difference in HRQoL between amateur rugby players and age-matched males ( Swain et al, 2016 ). Given most team-sport studies demonstrated a positive influence, the inclusion of sporting companions may be particularly important for men, which is supported by further literature identified in this review.…”

Sport Participation and Subjective Outcomes of Health in Middle-Aged Men: A Scoping Review

et al. 2022

Although sport participation is intrinsically motivating and improves the physical health of middle-aged men, its influence on subjective health measures, such as health-related quality of life, self-rated health, or well-being is unclear. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe the existing literature that has assessed male sport participants and their subjective health. MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, PsycInfo, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched, and reference lists of included studies were pearled. Included were original peer-reviewed studies reporting a marker of subjective health in males, 35 to 54 years (average), who participated in sport. The search identified 21 eligible articles, 18 quantitative, 2 mixed-methods, and 1 qualitative, from 13 different countries. Eighteen studies were cross-sectional. A broad range of outcomes were assessed, with the most common being quality of life/health-related quality of life ( n = 6) and self-rated health ( n = 6). Most studies assessing quality of life, health-related quality of life, or self-rated health demonstrated a positive association with sport participation, while sport participation was not related to measures of life satisfaction, flourishing, happiness or global well-being; however, limited studies examined these latter outcomes. Sport participation appears to be related to better select subjective health outcomes in middle-aged men. However, most available data are cross-sectional and thus causation cannot be determined. Randomized intervention trials are required to determine whether sport participation improves the subjective health of middle-aged men. Open Science Framework registration: https://osf.io/zypds

Personality Determinants of Eating Behaviours among an Elite Group of Polish Athletes Training in Team Sports

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The nutritional behaviours of athletes are determined by environmental and individual factors. The aim of the research was to analyse the personality determinants of the eating behaviour among an elite group of Polish athletes training in team sports. The research was conducted among 213 athletes, using a proprietary validated nutritional behaviour questionnaire and the Neuroticism Extraversion Openness-Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R Personality Inventory). Statistical analysis was performed with the use of Pearson’s linear and Spearman’s signed rank correlation coefficients, as well as multiple regression evaluation, assuming the significance level of α= 0.05 It was shown that the overall index of proper eating behaviour increased with increasing neuroticism (r = 0.132) and decreased with increasing openness to experience (r = −0.143). When assessing individual nutritional behaviours, it was indicated, among others, that with increasing neuroticism, athletes more often avoided energy drinks (R = 0.173), and with increasing extraversion, they more frequently consumed vegetables at least twice a day (R = 0.154). At the same time, the consumption of raw vegetables (R = −0.153), 2–3 portions of vegetables and fruit per day (R = −0.157) and the limitation of sweet and salty snacks (R = −0.152) decreased along with an increase in openness. On the other hand, with increasing conscientiousness, the regular consumption of meals (R = 0.186), dairy products (R = 0.143) and the reduction of sweet and salty snacks (R = 0.148) increased. The model built on the basis of the Big Five personality traits explained, to a very large extent (approx. 99%), variance concerning the general index of normal eating behaviour among athletes. The predictive significance of the personality traits presented in the Big Five model was demonstrated in relation to the quality of nutritional choices among Polish athletes competitively training in team sports, which may be used to personalise the dietary education of athletes.
