高尔夫作为一种相对无风险的运动形式被推荐给老年人。这项研究的目的是调查打一轮高尔夫球对休闲球员情绪状态的影响。年龄较大的男性高尔夫球手（N = 34；年龄：M = 68.7, SD = 5.4岁）在打完18洞高尔夫球前后立即完成了一项情绪测试。每场比赛的步行距离用计步器测量。结果表明，在游戏后，报告的愤怒，抑郁和疲劳得分增加，活力下降。然而，值得注意的是，尽管不愉快的情绪状态有所增加，但这应该在整体情绪概况的背景下看到，这是积极的。计步器结果显示，高尔夫球手的平均步行距离为10.21公里（±1.11）。结果显示，这个年龄段的参与者进行了有意义的锻炼，并且在锻炼后情绪得分下降。本研究的结果表明，老年高尔夫球手在高尔夫后的情绪状况与年轻运动员在比赛后的情绪状况相似。如果高尔夫被推荐为一项促进老年人体育活动的活动，就应该考虑球员调节不愉快情绪状态的能力。未来的研究应该调查高尔夫球后经历消极情绪状态对参与动机的影响。研究结果显示，上了年纪的男性高尔夫球手会进行有意义的锻炼，而在比赛结束后，他们的情绪得分会下降。老年高尔夫球手在比赛前后的情绪特征与年轻运动员在比赛后的相似。如果高尔夫被推荐为一项促进老年人体育活动的活动，就应该考虑球员调节不愉快情绪状态的能力。
Golf has been recommended as a relatively risk-free form of exercise for an ageing population. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of playing a round of golf on mood states in recreational players. Ageing male golfers (N = 34; Age: M = 68.7, SD = 5.4 years) completed a mood measure immediately before and after an 18-hole round of golf. Distance walked per game was measured using a pedometer. Results indicate reported scores on Anger, Depression, and Fatigue increased and Vigor reduced following the game. However, it should be noted that although there was an increase in unpleasant mood states, this should be seen in the context of the overall mood profile, which was positive. Pedometer results indicated golfers walked a mean distance of 10.21 km (± 1.11). Results show participants of this age-group engaged in a meaningful exercise session and that mood scores deteriorated following play. Findings from the present study show that elderly golfers experienced mood profiles following golf similar to younger athletes following competition. For golf to be recommended as an activity for promoting physical activity among an aging population, the player's ability to regulate unpleasant mood states should be considered. Future research should investigate the effects of experiencing negative mood states following golf on motivation to participate. Key PointsFindings show ageing male golfers engaged in a meaningful exercise session and that mood scores deteriorated following play.Mood profiles before and after playing golf for elderly golfers were similar to younger athletes following competition.For golf to be recommended as an activity for promoting physical activity among an aging population, the player's ability to regulate unpleasant mood states should be considered.
