生活的意义始终与自我报告的更多身体活动相关。目前的研究试图复制这种关联与最大的样本到目前为止，客观测量的身体活动。来自英国生物银行的40至70岁的参与者（N = 67，038）佩戴了长达7天的加速计，并报告了他们的生活意义。更高的意义与更多的体育活动相关，这种关联在年龄，性别和教育方面都很强。它仍然是身体质量指数，抑郁症和相对剥夺的重要原因。此外，生活意义每增加1分，身体活动的前四分之一的可能性就增加14（OR = 1.14，95%置信区间= 1.11，1.16，p <0.001）和从事剧烈活动的可能性增加10%（OR = 1.10，95%CI = 1.06，1.15，p <.001）。身体活动可能是一种将生活意义与更好的健康结果联系起来的行为机制。
Meaning in life is associated consistently with greater self-reported physical activity. The present research sought to replicate this association with the largest sample to date with objectively measured physical activity. Participants between the ages of 40 and 70 years old from the UK Biobank (N = 67,038) wore an accelerometer for up to seven days and reported on their meaning in life. Higher meaning was associated with greater engagement in physical activity, an association robust across age, gender, and education. It remained significant accounting for body mass index, depression, and relative deprivation. Further, for every 1-point increase in meaning in life, there was a 14% increase in likelihood of being in the top quartile of physical activity (OR = 1.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.11, 1.16, p < .001) and a 10% increase in likelihood of engaging in vigorous activity (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.06, 1.15, p < .001). Physical activity may be one behavioral mechanism that links meaning in life to better health outcomes.
