## 3 Results  
The descriptive statistics for the BSCS, ERQ, and SWLS scores are shown in Table 1. The skewness and kurtosis values were all less than one, indicating that their distribution did not substantially deviate from normality. Correlations among self-control, suppression, reappraisal, life satisfaction, and amount of time spent on regular physical activity are shown in Table 2. Scores on the suppression scale of the ERQ were not significantly correlated with scores on the ERQ reappraisal scale or BSCS. The correlation coefficient between reappraisal and self-control was 0.25, indicating a positive but modest relationship between these two variables. The correlation coefficients \begin{table}

Table 1: Descriptive statistics and reliability coefficients for scores on the scales of the questionnaire tool. between the SWLS scores and self-control and reappraisal were 0.43 and 0.41, indicating that life satisfaction is positively and moderately related to these two variables. The correlation coefficient between satisfaction with life and suppression was -0.27, indicating a modestly negative relationship. Time spent in regular physical activity was positively correlated with self-control (0.34), reappraisal (0.15), and life satisfaction (0.25), but was not significantly associated with suppression. The mediation analysis results showed that self-control and cognitive reappraisal mediated the relationship between level of participation in regular physical activity and satisfaction with life. Higher levels of participation in regular physical activity were associated with greater self-control and reappraisal, which in turn led to greater satisfaction with life. The indirect effect of emotional suppression was close to zero and not statistically significant. Level of involvement in regular physical activity had no direct relationship with life satisfaction. The R-squared value of the dependent variable (SWLS) was 0.296. Detailed results of the mediation analysis are presented in Table 3 and Figure 1. \begin{table}
