体育活动（PA）的专业人士和参与者认识到提高生活质量（QoL）作为PA的好处和动力。然而，生活质量的措施往往是有问题的，很少考虑参与者的观点。本文重点介绍了最近的研究结果，从一个更大的项目生活质量的作用，PA和健康促进。更具体地说，我们专注于参与者和潜在参与者的意见，以更好地了解PA和生活质量的关系。在项目的早期阶段，我们开始与生活质量的概念模型，并制定了一项调查。我们现在关注参与者的观点，并提出两个问题：1）什么是生活质量？PA与生活质量的关系如何？我们首先向大样本的大学生和社区参与者提出这些问题作为开放式调查项目，然后向社区参与者的焦点小组提出问题。总体而言，参与者的反应反映了多维的，综合的生活质量模型，但反应和模式提供的信息，可能不会拿起与典型的调查措施。研究结果表明，PA有助于生活质量的多个方面，社会和情感的好处是主要的动机和结果的参与者，生活质量和PA的好处的意义是主观的和情境化的，不同的个人和设置。直接针对和突出多个维度和综合生活质量的计划，同时考虑个人参与者和背景，可以提高PA动机和参与者的健康和生活质量。
Physical activity (PA) professionals and participants recognize enhanced quality of life (QoL) as a benefit of and motivator for PA. However, QoL measures are often problematic and rarely consider the participants'perspective. This paper focuses on recent findings from a larger project on the role of QoL in PA and health promotion. More specifically, we focus on the views of participants and potential participants to better understand the relationship of PA and QoL. In earlier stages of the project we began with a conceptual model of QoL and developed a survey. We now focus on participants' views and ask two questions: 1) what is QoL? and 2) how does PA relate to QoL? We first asked those questions of a large sample of university students and community participants as open-ended survey items, and then asked focus groups of community participants. Overall, participants' responses reflected the multidimensional, integrative QoL model, but the responses and patterns provided information that may not be picked up with typical survey measures. Findings suggest that PA contributes to multiple aspects of QoL, that social and emotional benefits are primary motivators and outcomes for participants, and that the meaning of QoL and PA benefits is subjective and contextualized, varying across individuals and settings. Programs that directly target and highlight the multiple dimensions and integrative QoL, while considering the individual participants and contexts, may enhance both PA motivation and participants' health and QoL.
