“…Similarly, time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) tends to decrease throughout adolescence, and less than 50% meet recommended guidelines for daily MVPA [ 10 ]. There is an established link between MVPA and mental health in both adult and youth populations [ 11 – 16 ], and physical activity is recommended as a first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate depression in clinical samples of adults [ 17 , 18 ]. While some literature indicates physical activity may be an opportunity for early and cost-effective intervention and a population-based approach [ 19 ] to promote mental health, evidence on this relationship remains less documented in youth [ 20 ].…”

Objective The aim of this research was to examine the bidirectional association between self-reported symptoms of mental disorder and physical activity among a large sample of Canadian secondary school students over time. Methods Linked survey data were obtained from 28,567 grade 9 to 12 students across Canada participating in two waves of the COMPASS Study (2017–18; 2018–19). Autoregressive cross-lagged models were run to examine the reciprocal relationships between self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and symptoms of depression (CESD-10) and anxiety (GAD-7). Models were stratified by gender, and accounted for grade, ethno-racial identity, and school-level clustering. Results Autoregressive associations show that neither symptoms of anxiety nor depression, at baseline, were predictive of mean MVPA at follow-up – consistent for the full sample and among both males and females. Higher MVPA among males at baseline was associated with lower symptoms of both anxiety (β = − 0.03, p = 0.002) and depression (β = − 0.05, p < 0.001) at follow-up. However, among females, higher MVPA at baseline was associated with greater symptoms of anxiety (β = 0.03, p < 0.001), but not symptoms of depression (β = 0.01, p = 0.073), at follow-up. Conclusion In our large sample of Canadian secondary school students, associations between physical activity and symptoms of mental disorder were not bi-directional, and these relationships differed in males and females. This study illustrates the complex nature of the relationship between physical activity and symptoms of mental disorder among youth. While results support the benefits of promoting physical activity among males to prevent or manage internalizing symptoms, the relationship among females warrants further investigation.

“…Most of the available literature on the topic of well-being of students in Canada stems from analyses of longitudinal studies such as COMPASS, the Manitoba Youth Health Survey, the Canadian Community Health Survey, and the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Some of the most common variables under analysis were: the use of alcohol/cannabis (Butler et al, 2019;Duncan et al, 2021), sleep patterns (Chaput & Janssen, 2016;Gariépy et al, 2019;Gruber et al, 2019), eating habits (Gariépy et al, 2019;Ovenell et al, 2022), screen time (Gazendam et al, 2020), physical activity (Caldwell et al, 2022;Maximova et al, 2022;Vanderloo et al, 2022;Weatherson et al, 2020), organized activity (Albanese et al, 2023), parents' profession (Stelnicki et al, 2022) and separation/divorce (Galbraith & Kingsbury, 2022), neighbourhood (Sim & Georgiades, 2022), immigration or refugee background (Albanese et al, 2023;Paradis et al, 2022), perceived body image (Livermore et al, 2020), and bullying (Shaver et al, 2021;Stewart-Tufescu et al, 2021). Following, we summarize the findings of these and some other studies around different aspects and factors of well-being.…”

Over the last fifteen years, student well-being has become of greater concern in school education in Canada and beyond. However, there is very little data available on how well Canadian students are. The study that will be reported on in this paper provides such data, specifically the province of Manitoba. Using the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the study collected data from 1587 grade 9 students on their self-assessed satisfaction with how their lives are going. The data were collected with two demographic variables: regional location of the schools the participating students attended (norther, rural, urban) and their self-declared gender. While in the study the majority of participating students were satisfied with how their lives were going, a concerning number of students were dissatisfied or extremely dissatisfied with their lives. Furthermore, the data suggest a statistically significant difference in life satisfaction between girls (lower) and boys (higher). The study did not find a statistically significant difference between life satisfaction across the three types of regional location.
