The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels of physical and mental health and anxiety-depressive symptomatology among a group of Galician inmates, and if these were influenced by their sports practice. The results showed that those who engaged in physical activity during their incarceration had better physical and mental health and lower levels of anxiety and depression. The study also found a negative association between perceived health levels and anxiety-depressive symptoms, with perceived physical health explaining 35% of the variance in perceived mental health. These findings highlight the importance of promoting physical activity in penitentiary institutions.
The objective of this study was to evaluate, in a group of Galician inmates, if there were variations in the levels of physical and mental health and anxiety-depressive symptomatology, depending on the sports' practice performed. The relationship between these constructs was also investigated. The sample was composed of 509 people deprived of liberty in prisons in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, Spain. A quantitative methodology was used, with the questionnaire as an information collection instrument, Student's t-tests, Pearson's correlation analysis and a stepwise regression analysis were carried out. The results indicated that those who performed physical activity during their stay in prison had higher levels of physical and mental health, as well as lower indicators of anxiety-depressive symptoms. People who did not practice sports showed a decrease in their perceived health levels when compared to those perceived in their pre-prison stage. A negative association was shown between perceived health levels and anxiety-depressive symptomatology. Perceived physical health, alone, explained 35% of the variance in perceived mental health. These results add to knowledge about the relationships between perceived health, anxiety-depressive symptoms and sports practice in the group of people deprived of liberty, highlighting the importance of promoting physical activity in penitentiary institutions.
