Physical activity and sedentary behavior profiles among prisoners in an open prison: differences in psychological well-being?

The findings demonstrate substantial variation in daily activity and media patterns among prisoners in open correctional settings. Despite clear behavioral differences, psychological well-being was comparable between groups. This finding suggests that movement and media routines should be considered when promoting prison health, yet they are not coupled with well-being differences under restrictive conditions. A cluster-based approach offers a useful basis for developing tailored interventions for different physical activity profiles among prisoners.

Abstract

The findings demonstrate substantial variation in daily activity and media patterns among prisoners in open correctional settings. Despite clear behavioral differences, psychological well-being was comparable between groups. This finding suggests that movement and media routines should be considered when promoting prison health, yet they are not coupled with well-being differences under restrictive conditions. A cluster-based approach offers a useful basis for developing tailored interventions for different physical activity profiles among prisoners.
