ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The civilisation revolution caused by Society 5.0 has predisposed public health to reduced physical activity globally, from the developmental period of childhood to old age. The transition process of technological development, social change, and economic growth has altered population demographics, which significantly impacts public health and is the primary factor in the decline in physical activity levels in superpower countries such as the United States of America and developing countries such as China.
Methods:
This non-experimental study used a descriptive quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach.
Results:
Significant two-tailed correlations were found between physical activity and physical activity (r = 0.260, p < 0.001), health (r = 0.159, p < 0.001), occupational (r = 0.177, p < 0.001), emotional (r = 0.100, p = 0.046), and nutritional (r = 0.110, p < 0.027) well-being dimensions. However, there was no correlation between physical activity and religion (r = 0.260, p < 0.080) and friends and family (r = 0.069, p < 0.172) well-being dimensions.
Conclusions:
Physical activity correlated significantly with the physical activity, health, occupational, emotional, and nutritional well-being dimensions, while the religious and friends and family dimensions showed no significant correlation.
