There are many research results that the longer you sit, the more adult diseases increase and the life span decreases. In fact, the longer you sit at work or at home, the more likely you are to be exposed to various diseases. Although the correlation between physical activity and healthy longevity is well known, it is not known that lack of physical activity affects personality. Lack of exercise or physical activity can have a negative impact on personality. This is not to say that all so-called housekeepers who like to stay at home with little movement change into bad personalities.. If you are blocking the body’s metabolic activity without proper physical activity, look into the effects that can appear as the movement of the body and brain slows down.

◆ Lack of physical activity, adverse health effects

On average, people spend 76 days a year sitting. The World Health Organization (WHO) points out that this inactivity or ‘lack of physical inactivity’ takes millions of lives every year. It is now well known that the longer you spend sedentary life, the more health problems arise. However, in addition to this, it was found that lack of physical activity has an effect on individual personality changes.

◆ Lack of activity actually affects personality

According to a joint research team in the United States and France, the more physically inactive a life is, the more it has a detrimental effect on personality after 20 years. Data from 6,000 Americans whose average age was in their early 50s in the early 1990s included personality test results and measurements of physical activity levels. As a result of comparative analysis with the 2011 test results for the same person, changes in individual personality were found according to the amount of physical activity. The lack of physical activity showed negative changes in personality.

◆ The lower the intensity of exercise, the more negative changes in personality

Records of individual health and psychological conditions, disease history, etc. were also used as reference materials for this study. As a result of the analysis, although individual health conditions and personality types differed from person to person, there was a consistent association between lack of physical activity and personality changes. They found that certain patterns of personality change were shown according to the intensity of physical activity, such as light physical activity such as gardening, moderate exercise such as brisk walking, and high-intensity exercise such as running. There was mainly a ‘negative change in personality as the exercise intensity was weaker’.

◆ Physiological changes following exercise affect personality

These analysis results are presumed to be because basic physiological characteristics, including stress response, are related to personality. It is said that the physiological changes that occur when you do not exercise can adversely affect your personality. Besides that, if you lead an inactive life, you will be less likely to engage in activities related to curiosity, adventure, etc. Not being able to enjoy the mood-enhancing effect of exercise was also analyzed as a reason for negatively affecting personality.
