“…31 Accordingly, the aim of this article is the integration of the above-mentioned relationships into a model and its verification. The results of the current state of research postulate that caffeine affects not only well-being 26 but also physical activity, 32 anxiety, 11 and depressiveness, 16 whereby physical activity 30 as well as anxiety and depressiveness in turn modulate well-being. 31 On the basis of these assumptions, this study examines whether the effect of caffeine on well-being is direct or mediated through one or even more of the three variables.…”

“…activity and psychological well-being over time; this applies, in particular, to low-intensity activities carried out in groups. 30 Moreover, anxiety and depression both act as negative predictors of subjective well-being. This assumption was confirmed by results according to which five subcategories-physical, functional, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being-were negatively influenced by the two predictors.…”

Background: Caffeine's influence on numerous physical functions indicates that it has more than a simple stimulating effect. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of caffeine on well-being, taking into account physical activity, anxiety, and depression as mediators. Materials and Methods: A sample of 160 subjects 50 years of age and older were recruited for this study. Five standardized questionnaires and an extension of the simple mediatized regression with three mediators made it possible to check the model relationships. Research was conducted in accordance with the 2013 revised Declaration of Helsinki. Results: The results could demonstrate no indirect effect through one or a combination of the mediator variables, but a direct effect of caffeine on well-being ( p = 0.01, b = 0.16), provided that the three variables were taken into account. Conclusion: Due to the fact that individual compounds, and especially, the direct effect of caffeine on wellbeing in this model, were found to be significant, these findings could be the foundation for future research.

“…However, the contribution of physical performance and of the amount of physical activity to mental well-being may stem from different sources. Physical activity may be linked to well-being through sense of mastery, experience of self-e cacy or social interaction [13,14]. Physical performance, in turn, acts as a mediating mechanism in the relationship between physical activity and well-being [15] and may partially be a product of genetics or the amount of physical activity or other life-style choices.…”

Purpose To investigate the associations of physical performance with positive and negative dimensions of mental well-being in middle-aged women and to explore the role of physical activity (PA) in these associations. Methods Women aged 47–55 (n = 909) participated in measurements of physical performance (handgrip force, knee extension force, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and six-minute walking distance). Both mental well-being (the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short Form and the Satisfaction with Life Scale) and PA were self-reported. Associations between variables were analysed using multivariate linear regression modelling adjusted for body height, fat mass, menopausal status and symptoms, marital status, parity, employment status, self-reported mental disorders, and use of psycholeptics and psychoanaleptics. PA was then entered into a separate model to explore its role in the associations. Results In the adjusted models, significant positive associations of six-minute walking distance with positive affectivity (B = 0.12, p = 0.002) and life satisfaction (B = 0.15, p = 0.033) were observed. No significant associations were observed between physical performance and depressive symptoms or negative affectivity. PA was positively associated with positive affectivity and life satisfaction and negatively with depressive symptoms across all the physical performance predictors. Conclusion Of the physical performance measures, six-minute walking distance was associated with positive mental well-being independently of PA level. In addition to PA, aerobic component of physical performance is especially beneficial for positive mental well-being in middle-aged women.

“…To promote healthy aging, physical activity is one of the crucial factors, since it is associated with a decreased risk of mortality and cardiovascular diseases, prolonged maintenance of cognitive functioning, mental health as well as an increased overall well-being as shown in previous studies and meta-analysis (see Daskalopoulou et al, 2017 ; Gayman, Fraser-Thomas, Dionigi, Horton, & Baker, 2017 ; Bragina & Voelcker-Rehage, 2018 ). Here, sport activity, which is the focus of this study, can be seen as a specific dimension of physical activity, and therefore, as one possible aspect of health-promoting behavior.…”

Background This study aims to generate more comprehensive knowledge regarding underlying mechanisms of health production in middle and older age by focusing on perception of aging in the relation between sport activity and self-rated health. More differentiated information can be generated by using more age-specific data and applying advanced empirical methods. Methods Panel data from the German Ageing Survey (DEAS) (n = 1027) is used, whereby individuals are included, that participated at least in two waves. First, a blockwise fixed effects logistic regression model is carried out, which allows to investigate mediation as well as moderation effects and controls for time invariant unobserved heterogeneity. Additionally, two recursive bivariate probit models are conducted to identify further indirect pathways. Findings A mediating and moderating effect of perception of aging regarding self-rated health is found in the fixed effects model. Indirect pathways of perception of aging and retirement over sport activity (mediator) are confirmed in the recursive bivariate probit models. Conclusion The results highlight the complexity of the underlying mechanisms as well as the importance of individual and needs-based designed health promotion. Here, public health policy should not solely focus on sport activity, rather it should include target group specific strategies to shape individual perceptions of aging towards a more positive view on aging, while considering the heterogeneity of middle and older age groups.
