Preventive Benefits of Physical Activity for Psychosocial Health and Well-Being

Abstract

Physical exercise has a significant impact on improving psychological well-being and preventing illness. Using a qualitative methodology, this research seeks to examine the advantages of physical activity prevention for both social welfare and physical health. 281 people between the ages of 20 and 50 who regularly exercised made up the participants. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data, and theme analysis techniques were used for analysis. The study's findings demonstrated that exercise increased both aerobic and anaerobic capacity, strengthened bones and muscles, and reduced the risk of non-communicable illnesses, including diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.

Furthermore, physical exercise improves psychosocial well-being by lowering stress, anxiety, and depression while boosting confidence and social connection. More than 70% of those surveyed agreed with this advantage. The study's findings underscore the need for preventative methods based on physical activity in public health programs to enhance overall quality of life. To encourage a more sustainable and inclusive active lifestyle, cooperation between communities, educational institutions, and governments is required.

In summary, physical exercise promotes psychological well-being and plays a significant role in preventing illness. Therefore, promoting physical activity and providing information are essential components of a healthy lifestyle.
