Fundamental and early-appearing dispositions of feeling and reacting, also known as temperament, are reflected in the amount of physical activity in midlife. High perceptual and associative sensitivity is associated with more frequent physical activity in both women and men. Men who are prone to feeling negative affects, such as frustration or discomfort, are less physically active. Recognizing one\u2019s own response style can help in finding the most suitable pace and way to be physically active.<\/p>\n

A recent study by the Gerontology Research Center and the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland, investigated for the first time whether temperament plays a role in explaining physical activity in adulthood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to our study, our innate way of reacting to sensory stimuli is linked to how often and what way we exercise as adults,\u201d says Jenni Karvonen<\/strong>, the corresponding author and a PhD student at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our study, women who were sensitive to the various details of the environment and its contribution to their affective states tended to exercise more often during free time,\u201d Karvonen says. \u201cThis so-called orienting sensitivity was also linked to more frequent engagement in vigorous physical activity and increased odds for exercising in nature in men. For men, experiencing negative affects was associated with less exercise and regular sports watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Temperament refers to a constitutionally based set of dispositions that, despite being relatively stable, is molded by individual experiences, such as upbringing. Temperament and experiences together form personality traits, which have already been shown to be one of the key factors associated with adult physical activity.<\/p>\n

In addition to examining temperament, the study also looked into the relationship between personality traits and physical activity in adulthood. The associations of temperament and personality traits with physical activity were found to be different among women and men.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on our results, in studies focusing on the links of temperament and personality traits to physical activity, women and men ought to be studied more often separately,\u201d Karvonen suggests.<\/p>\n

According to Karvonen, the present results could be utilized in promoting physical activity through more tailored counseling. Recognizing one\u2019s own natural tendencies can also help in discovering the right pace and way to exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about finding a sport that feels natural to you,\u201d Karvonen advises.<\/p>\n

The current study is based on the Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS), which has been following the same individuals since 1968. The study utilized the two most recent follow-up phases, implemented when the participants were 42 and 50 years old. The study was conducted at the Gerontology Research Center and the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland.<\/p>\n

Sama herkkyys oli miehill\u00e4 yhteydess\u00e4 runsaampaan kuormittavan liikunnan harrastamiseen ja s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6lliseen luonnossa liikkumiseen. Miehill\u00e4 kielteisten tunteiden kokeminen yhdistyi v\u00e4h\u00e4isemp\u00e4\u00e4n liikunnan m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4n ja s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6lliseen penkkiurheiluun, Karvonen tiivist\u00e4\u00e4.\r\n\r\nTemperamentti on synnynn\u00e4inen ja melko pysyv\u00e4 reagointi- ja k\u00e4ytt\u00e4ytymistapojen kokonaisuus. Temperamentti tulee esille esimerkiksi siin\u00e4, miten erilaiset aisti\u00e4rsykkeet vaikuttavat meihin ja mielialaamme. Ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6st\u00e4 saadut kokemukset, kuten kasvatus, muokkaavat temperamentin ilmenemist\u00e4. Muokkausty\u00f6n tuloksena syntyy persoonallisuus, jonka on osoitettu olevan yksi keskeinen aikuisi\u00e4n fyysist\u00e4 aktiivisuutta ohjaava tekij\u00e4.\r\n\r\nTemperamentin ohella tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiinkin my\u00f6s persoonallisuuden piirteiden yhteyksi\u00e4 aikuisi\u00e4n liikunta-aktiivisuuteen. Piirteiden ja temperamentin yhteydet liikunnan harrastamiseen olivat erilaisia naisten ja miesten v\u00e4lill\u00e4.\r\n\r\n- Tulostemme perusteella naisia ja miehi\u00e4 olisi temperamentti- ja persoonallisuustutkimuksessa aihetta tutkia nykyist\u00e4 useammin erill\u00e4\u00e4n, Karvonen pohtii.\r\n\r\nKarvosen mukaan tuoreita tutkimustuloksia voitaisiin hy\u00f6dynt\u00e4\u00e4 esimerkiksi suunnittelemalla entist\u00e4 yksil\u00f6llisemmin r\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4l\u00f6ity\u00e4 liikuntaneuvontaa.

Tilalle voi etsi\u00e4 jonkin muun lajin, jonka harrastaminen tuntuu itselle luonnolliselta, Karvonen vinkkaa.\r\n\r\nTutkimus perustuu vuodesta 1968 l\u00e4htien samoja henkil\u00f6it\u00e4 seuranneen Lapsesta aikuiseksi -pitkitt\u00e4istutkimuksen (Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, JYLS) aineistoon.
