“…Within the 17 studies that explored the psychosocial mechanisms linking physical activity with psychiatric symptoms, two studies used social support/connection [25,28], one study used body image [33], one study used self-criticism and self-enhancement [32], eight studies used self-esteem [24,25,31,35–37,40,46], four studies used self-concept [30,34,36,37], five studies used self-efficacy [24,36,39,41,44], one study used self-perception [24] and three studies used mood [24,39,44]. as the potential mechanisms of interest.…”

“…Four studies used anxiety symptoms as the outcome variable [32,34,36,37]. In particular, one study used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [36], one study used the short form of the State scale from the Charles Spielberger’s State - Trait Anxiety Inventory [32], one used the Chinese version of the Beck Youth Inventories - Second Edition [34], and the other one the Psychiatric Diagnostic Screening Questionnaire [37].…”

Background: Physical activity has been suggested as a protective factor against psychiatric symptoms. While numerous studies have focused on the magnitude of the effect of physical activity on psychiatric symptoms, few have examined the potential mechanisms. Objective: The current review aimed to synthesize scientific evidence of the mechanisms through which physical activity might reduce psychiatric symptoms across the lifespan. Methods: We included articles that were published before March 2022 from five electronic databases (Medline, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Embase, and Cochrane). A qualitative synthesis of studies was conducted. The risk of bias assessment was performed using The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for Systematic Reviews. Studies were included if they explored the possible mechanisms through which physical activity links with psychiatric symptoms (i.e., internalizing and externalizing symptoms) across the lifespan. Results: A total of 24 articles were included (three RCTs, four non-RCTs, four prospective longitudinal studies, and 13 cross-sectional studies). Overall, most of the studies (70%) focused on children, adolescents, and young adults. Our findings show that self-esteem, self-concept, and self-efficacy were the only consistent paths through which physical activity may influence psychiatric symptoms (specifically depressive and anxiety symptoms). There were insufficient studies to determine the role of neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms. Findings from our systematic review suggest that self-esteem, self-concept, and self-efficacy are potential paths through which physical activity might reduce psychiatric symptoms across the lifespan. Conclusions: Overall, future physical activity interventions with the purpose of improving mental health should consider these mechanisms to develop more effective interventions. Current literature gaps and recommendations for researchers to explore other potential mechanisms were also included. Protocol Registration: The protocol of this study was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number CRD42021239440) and published in April 2022. Keywords: exercise, psychiatric symptom, mechanism, neurobiological, behavioral, longevity, self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy, psychosocial, mental disorders
