The main objective of this study is to <strong>de</strong>termine the relationship between physical activity<br />

and subjective well-being (SWB) in the prison population. In particular, we intend to<br />

investigate the effects of physical activity, the level of life satisfaction and positive affect and<br />

negative. In parallel, we analyzed differences in levels of SWB taking into account<br />

socio<strong>de</strong>mographic and legal-criminal variables. Four instruments were administered to 53<br />

inmates of Ma<strong>de</strong>ira and the Azores: a questionnaire for the study of socio<strong>de</strong>mographic and<br />

legal-criminal, the scale of life satisfaction, <strong>de</strong>veloped by Diener and collaborators in 1985,<br />

the Portuguese version of Simões , 1992 (SWLS - satisfaction with life scale), the (PANAS -<br />

positive and negative Affect SACL) of Watson, Clark & Tellegen (1988),Portuguese version of<br />

Slater, 1993,the Baecke Habitual Physical Activity of Questionnaire (Baecke et al. 1982) and<br />

cardiorespiratory fitness test. Key - words: subjective well-being, physical activity, prisoners.<br />
