Sport for the Subjective

Dimensions of Quality of Life

Sport is a social phenomenon. The positive influence of sport helps improve the quality of life of a person. Subjective dimensions of quality of life can be perceived as person's individual perception of his/her life experience with all the influences he/she encounters and how they affect him or her. The aim of this chapter will be to broaden the knowledge with regards to effects of sport on subjective dimensions of quality of life. 196 (sport active) and 149 (sport inactive) adolescents were the research sample for questionnaire research (Q-LES-Q, SWLS). Two subjective dimensions of quality of life gave evidence that sporting activity positively influenced the perception of dimension of quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction and the dimension of global satisfaction with life among adolescents. Sport active boys are statistically significantly more satisfied with the domain quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction in comparison to sport inactive boys (p = 0.027). No statistical difference was found in domain quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction between sport active girls and sport inactive girls. In the global satisfaction with life we found out the statistical difference between sport active boys and sport inactive

boys (p < 0.001) and sport active girls and sport inactive girls (p = 0.026).

Sport, in this way of meaning, is the phenomenon that influences the society. The positive effects of sport improve the quality of life of an individual and fulfill all the human needs on the five-stage pyramid of needs. When sport behavior will convert into practicing sport activities, then the sport will benefit the physical and psychological health, as it is known. We were interested in the topic of how sport can benefit the subjective dimensions of the quality of life. We focus on the dimension of the quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction and the dimension of the global satisfaction with life. We present a general subject area, quality of life, and we lead the context of the research to the topic of the research—subjective dimensions of the quality of life in dependence of gender and activity in sport and exercising. With the help of selected research papers from this field of study, we summarize the background knowledge about the research topic (subjective
