Review: Physical activity interventions for the mental health and well‐being of adolescents – a systematic review

“…Participants were mainly recruited from schools ( N = 21) (Bahram et al., 2014; Bonhauser et al., 2005; Butzer et al., 2017; Costigan, Eather, Plotnikoff, Hillman, & Lubans, 2016; Dudley et al., 2010; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Eather, Morgan, & Lubans, 2016; Felver et al., 2020; Ha et al., 2015; Haden et al., 2014; Ho et al., 2017; Kalak et al., 2012; Lindwall & Lindgren, 2005; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Morgan et al., 2012; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010; Roh et al., 2018; Schneider et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2018; Toulabi et al., 2012). However, some were recruited from clinical settings ( N = 3) (Dopp et al., 2012; Elnaggar & Shendy, 2016; Hainsworth et al., 2018), community settings ( N = 2) (Choukse, Ram, & Nagendra, 2018; Höner & Demetriou, 2014) or via advertisements ( N = 2) (Lopera et al., 2016; Schranz et al., 2013).…”

“…Designs included randomised controlled trials (RCT) ( N = 17) (Butzer et al., 2017; Costigan et al., 2016; Dudley et al., 2010; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Eather et al., 2016; Ha et al., 2015; Haden et al., 2014; Ho et al., 2017; Kalak et al., 2012; Lindwall & Lindgren, 2005; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Morgan et al., 2012; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010; Roh et al., 2018; Schranz et al., 2013; Smith et al., 2018), nonrandomised ( N = 8) (Bahram et al., 2014; Bonhauser et al., 2005; Elnaggar & Shendy, 2016; Felver et al., 2020; Höner & Demetriou, 2014; Lopera et al., 2016; Schneider et al., 2008; Toulabi et al., 2012), single‐group pre–post interventions ( N = 2) (Dopp et al., 2012; Hainsworth et al., 2018) and a three‐group cohort (Choukse et al., 2018). Of the studies that implemented a control, most used PE as usual as the comparator ( N = 13) (Bonhauser et al., 2005; Butzer et al., 2017; Costigan et al., 2016; Dudley et al., 2010; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Eather et al., 2016; Ha et al., 2015; Haden et al., 2014; Höner & Demetriou, 2014; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Schneider et al., 2008; Toulabi et al., 2012).…”

“…Interventions were mainly delivered in schools either in replacement of regular PE ( N = 15) (Bonhauser et al., 2005; Butzer et al., 2017; Costigan et al., 2016; Dudley et al., 2010; Eather et al., 2016; Felver et al., 2020; Haden et al., 2014; Höner & Demetriou, 2014; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Morgan et al., 2012; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010; Schneider et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2018; Toulabi et al., 2012), as an additional sessions ( N = 1) (Ha et al., 2015) or as a before or after‐school programme ( N = 3) (Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Ho et al., 2017; Kalak et al., 2012). Other settings included community ( N = 6) (Bahram et al., 2014; Choukse et al., 2018; Lindwall & Lindgren, 2005; Lopera et al., 2016; Roh et al., 2018; Schranz et al., 2013) and laboratory clinics ( N = 3) (Dopp et al., 2012; Elnaggar & Shendy, 2016; Hainsworth et al., 2018). Interventions often delivered more than type of activity.…”

“…Interventions often delivered more than type of activity. Frequently used activities included cardiovascular/aerobic ( N = 21) (Bahram et al., 2014; Bonhauser et al., 2005; Costigan et al., 2016; Dopp et al., 2012; Dudley et al., 2010; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Eather et al., 2016; Elnaggar & Shendy, 2016; Ha et al., 2015; Höner & Demetriou, 2014; Kalak et al., 2012; Lindwall & Lindgren, 2005; Lopera et al., 2016; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Morgan et al., 2012; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010; Roh et al., 2018; Schneider et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2018; Toulabi et al., 2012), yoga ( N = 12) (Butzer et al., 2017; Choukse et al., 2018; Dudley et al., 2010; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Felver et al., 2020; Haden et al., 2014; Hainsworth et al., 2018; Lindwall & Lindgren, 2005; Lubans et al., 2012; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010; Schneider et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2018) and resistance training ( N = 10) (Costigan et al., 2016; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Eather et al., 2016; Lopera et al., 2016; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Morgan et al., 2012; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010; Schranz et al., 2013; Smith et al., 2018). Six interventions included team sport (Bonhauser et al., 2005; Ho et al., 2017; Lubans et al., 2012; Lubans, Smith, et al., 2016; Morgan et al., 2012; Schneider et al., 2008).…”

One study included additional components focused on journaling and storytelling (Choukse et al., 2018). A small number ( N = 5) addressed psychological topics including self‐esteem, body image or stress (Butzer et al., 2017; Dunker & Claudino, 2018; Felver et al., 2020; Lopera et al., 2016; Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2010).…”
