Abstract
Longstanding research suggests a plausible relation between physical activity, the natural environment, and overall health. However, when investigating this relationship, most studies focused on the absence of disease or frailty as health indicators. The relation between physical activity (PA), subjective well-being (SWB), natural environment, and present moment awareness (PMA) remains unexplored. The presented qualitative review offers a perspective model of the relationship between physical activity, natural environment, and awareness of the present moment that helps us explore its underlying, relating pathways. Our review concludes that present moment awareness can be worthy of attention to detect the impact of physical activity, subjective well-being and staying in a natural environment on selected samples, as well as its influence on maximizing related benefits for health and well-being. The challenge after that is to consider how to monitor the complex interactions that will occur within the multiple levels of influence. Essentially, a unified model of research and practice which incorporates physiological and psychological theories is undoubtedly needed. If that happens, we can understand the role of the diverse regulators upon behavior and proceed to convey this evidence into future health-promoting interventions.
Highlights
The significance of engaging in moderate or vigorous physical activity (PA) and exercise is well documented.Understanding obstacles to PA and creating conditions and strategies to overcome them can make PA an indispensable part of everyday life
It is assumed that a single bout of PA with effects over a short period conveys the state of subjective well-being (SWB), while multiple, prolong period, chronic PA tend to affect the stable part of SWB [1]
Conclusions the interplay between PA, SWB, and present moment awareness (PMA) and that lead to benefits for human health and well-being
Summary
The significance of engaging in moderate or vigorous PA and exercise is well documented. Understanding obstacles to PA and creating conditions and strategies to overcome them can make PA an indispensable part of everyday life. We experience various personal, social, cultural, economic, and environmental barriers, etc., to engaging in regular. Personal obstacles to PA include fixation on insufficient time, inconvenience, lack of selfmotivation, lack enjoyment, boredom with exercise, lack of early experiences, low self-efficacy, fear of being injured, etc. The investigation has shown that the “feeling better”. Impact of PA is far more moderate than the broader conclusion [1]. This indicates that numerous additional variables are influencing that same relationship
