Open Access

Online First is a feature that enables the publication of final revised articles online before their inclusion in a printed issue. This accelerates the dissemination of research findings and ensures that your authors' work reaches the audience promptly.

Articles published through Online First are assigned a DOI upon their online posting. They should be cited as follows:

Author(s). Title of the article. Exercise and Quality of Life. Advance online publication. DOI:10.31382/xxxx

After assignment to a final issue, citations can include the volume and page numbers in addition to the DOI.

Once articles are allocated to a specific issue, their hosting transitions from the Online First page to the main journal archive. The DOI ensures persistent accessibility.

Citations to Online First articles are counted toward the journal's Impact Factor if other indexing criteria are met. This promotes earlier engagement with the published work.

Online First articles are considered final but not definitive until assigned to a specific issue. Errors identified in the online version can be corrected before the final issue publication.

Relationship between body satisfaction and psychophysical health

Body satisfaction has become immensely popular topic over the last couple of decades, and yet, there are still so many undiscovered aspects of the phenomenon which actively influence people’s everyday lives. In this study, we’ve been investigating the connection between body satisfaction and self-rated symptoms of psychophysical health. Sample comprised 393 women, aged 19 to 76, with different socio-economic status. In order to determine the differences in psychophysical health between women who are satisfied with their body and those who are not, discriminant analysis was applied. Obtained discriminant factor was significant (Wilks’ lambda=0.79; p level<0.01) which indicate that there is a significant difference in the level of psychophysical health between women who are satisfied with their body and those who are not. Results of this study show that women who are dissatisfied with their body appearance are more likely to experience some symptoms of poor psychophysical health (nervousness and irritability, fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, poor productivity, lack of energy and depressive thoughts) compared to the women who are satisfied with their body appearance.
