Abstract:
This study examined if health-related quality of life is different based upon the type of physical activity performed by 1,266 community-dwelling adults in urban area of Korea. Physical activity was categorized into (a) work, (b) leisure (non-sport), and (c) sports activity. The results indicated that only leisure and sports activity were positively correlated with health-related quality of life. Therefore, it is recommended that leisure and sports activity must be encouraged, especially to people who do not think that they need any leisure or sports activity because they are very active physically at work.
