Macht Sport wirklich glücklich?

Ein systematisches Review

Published Online:May 29, 2018https://doi.org/10.1026/1612-5010/a000211

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Die Suche nach dem Glück ist ein gesellschaftlich hoch relevantes Thema. Dies ist einer der Gründe, warum sich die Forschung zunehmend dafür interessiert, Methoden und Programme zu finden, die glücklich machen. Ziel der Übersichtsarbeit war es, den Einfluss sportiver Interventionen auf ein eher überdauerndes Glücksempfinden systematisch zusammenzufassen. Nach einer Literaturrecherche wurden insgesamt 1099 Arbeiten zum Thema identifiziert. Nach Anwendung der Einschlusskriterien (abhängige Variable musste das Konzept „happiness“ beinhalten, es musste eine sportliche Intervention und eine Kontrollgruppe vorhanden sein) verblieben acht Arbeiten. Die untersuchten Arbeiten waren sehr heterogen bzgl. des Gesundheitszustandes der Teilnehmer_innen, des Alters und der Geschlechtsverteilung. Bei der Kontrollgruppe handelte es sich bei allen Studien um eine Wartekontrollgruppe. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass in sechs der acht Studien ein positiver Effekt einer sportlichen Intervention auf das Glücksempfinden nachgewiesen werden konnte. Weitere hypothesengeleitete Studien müssen folgen, die den Effekt einer sportiven Intervention auf das Glücksempfinden näher untersuchen.


Does exercise really make happy? A systematic review

Abstract. The search for happiness is a very relevant topic in social life. This is one of the reasons why research is interested in developing methods and trainings on how to be happier. The aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the influence of sportive interventions on a more stable concept of happiness. The extensive literature research identified 1,099 records, eight of which were finally included according to the following criteria: happiness as dependent variable, physical activity as independent variable, and the existence of a control group. The studies were highly heterogeneous concerning the health, the age, and the gender distribution of the participants. The control group was always a waiting control group. Overall, physical interventions yielded improvements in happiness in six of the eight studies. Further studies should be performed to investigate this effect in more detail.
