The Influence of Physical Activities on Happiness of Female University Students

The aime of the present study was to examine and compare happiness in athletic and non-athletic women. 120 female university students (60 athletes and 60 non-athletes) were randomly assigned to two groups and Oxford Happiness Inventory (reliability and validity have been shown in Iran) was used. The results showed that athletic women were in higher level at the five scales (mental health, self - esteem, efficiency, satisfaction and positive mood). Also, there was a significant difference between level of happiness in two groups (P 0.001)
