Physical activity related to mastery and vitality in a Swedish adult population with economic difficulties.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with low socio-economic status report lower levels of physical activity (PA). There is insufficient knowledge about the availability of psychological resources for those who are physically active despite having a low socio-economic status. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PA level and mastery and vitality, respectively, within an adult population with self-reported economic difficulties.

Method
