• Description:
  This study compared the effects of 8-12 weeks of aerobic versus strength training on psychophysical well-being in 16 middle-aged adults (40-60 years). Participants were allocated to either an aerobic (n=8) or strength (n=8) group. Well-being questionnaires were administered pre- and post-intervention. Both training types significantly improved overall well-being, reduced stress, and increased energy levels. However, the aerobic group showed significantly greater stress reduction and mood improvement (p < 0.05), while the strength group demonstrated significantly higher gains in self-confidence. Both aerobic and strength training offer distinct benefits for middle-aged adults; combining or tailoring exercise types based on individual goals (e.g., stress management vs. self-confidence) is recommended. Findings are limited by the small sample size.
