English abstract
Teachers' health habits can have an impact
on their students. Despite this, few studies have been
conducted to investigate teacher physical activity and its
relationship to life satisfaction. The prevalence of obesity
has steadily increased over the years. Among both genders,
the age-adjusted prevalence of being overweight or obese
is higher among Omani participants across time. This study
looks into how physical activity relates to life satisfaction
among Oman's teachers. Some 671 teachers (40.3% male;
59.7% female) aged 20-50 years took part in the survey.
Participants were recruited using a Google form survey.
SPSS statistical tools were used to analyse the collected
data. According to the findings, Physical Activity has a
significant positive correlation with life satisfaction. The
findings also revealed that gender influenced Omani
teacher life satisfaction, with female teachers having
higher life satisfaction than males. This study found no
significant differences in life satisfaction based on age or
Body Mass Index (BMI). This study was intended for use
in public schools. More research can be conducted in both
private and public schools. In sum, health promotion
professionals might develop plans to improve employee
health status if they had a better grasp of impact of factors
associated with physical activity participation. As a result,
there will be improvement in worker life satisfaction,
which is considered to be a cognitive component of
subjective well-being.
