Study on the influence of sports participation on happiness from the perspective of biological sports resource allocation in the Yellow River Basin perspective
Abstract
The relationship between physical activity and human well-being is based on biological mechanisms, and regular exercise positively affects physiological, psychological and social health dimensions. This study explores the impact of physical activity resource allocation on residents’ well-being in the Yellow River Basin from a biological basis. Using data from CGSS2015, CGSS2017, and SSY2017, the study combines OLS multiple linear regression modeling and spatial econometrics techniques to reveal how the accessibility of fitness infrastructure, sports services, and resource distribution can enhance well-being by facilitating increased sports participation. Findings reveal significant spatial agglomeration effects, suggesting that a balanced distribution of sport resources can optimize regional health outcomes. However, differences in resource distribution prevent physical activity from yielding physiological and psychological benefits across provinces.
