Extending your normal exercise routine by a few minutes may be the solution, according to Penn State researchers, who found that people’s satisfaction with life was higher on days when they exercised more than usual.“We found that people’s satisfaction with life was directlyimpacted by their daily physical activity，” said Jaclyn Maher, a graduatestudent in kinesiology.“The findings stress the idea that physicalactivity is health behavior with important consequences for daily wellbeing and should be considered when developing national policies to enhance satisfaction with life.”The team examined the influence of physical activity on satisfaction with life among emerging adults aged 18 to 25 because their sense of wellbeing appears to worsen more quickly than at any other time during adulthood.“Emerging adults are going through a lot of changes; they are leaving home for the first time and attending college or starting jobs，” said Maher.“As a result, their satisfaction with life can plummet.We decided to focus on emerging adults because they stand to benefit most from strategies to enhance satisfaction with life.”The researchers recruited (招收) two groups of college students.The first group, with 190 individuals, entered information into a diary every day for eight days.The second group, with 63 individuals, entered information into a secure website every day for 14 days.Both groups answered questions aimed at determining participants’satisfaction with life, physical activity and selfesteem.For the second group, the researchers wanted to further investigate whether physical activity was indeed the cause of participants’increased satisfaction with life rather than some other factors such as mental health, tiredness, or body mass index (体质指数)．“Shifts in depression, anxiety and stress would be expected to influence a person’s satisfaction with life at any given point in time，”said David Conroy, professor of kinesiology.“In addition, tiredness can be a barrier to engaging in physical activity, and a high body mass index associated with being overweight may cause a person to be less satisfied in avariety of ways.”However, the team found that exercising just a little more than usual can significantly improve a person’s satisfaction with life.1．What Jaclyn Maher said in the second paragraph indicates that ________.A．physical activity is the
