Meanwhile, women showed higher awareness of other's emotion and negative perception than men. The analysis on exercise participation status, exercise degree, and exercise intensity showed that the groups of exercise participation, groups of moderate and frequent exercise, and groups of moderate to intense exercise demonstrated higher scores in psychological factors. In the analysis on exercise participation period, the groups of exercise periods less than 10 years showed higher emotional control, while groups of exercise periods longer than 10 years exhibited higher psychological well-being and resilience than other groups.
