“…Our findings are in line with the literature showing an important contribution of multiple healthy-lifestyle behaviours -such as physical activity, physical fitness, sleep hygiene, diet, body composition -in supporting adolescents' cognitive performance and academic achievements 11,31,[58][59][60] . It is indeed well-known that lifestyle behaviours are interdependent, favouring a synergistic beneficial effect on the body 61 .…”

“…Previous studies examining adherence to 24-h movement guidelines 11,59,60 (regarding physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behaviour) have found some association between adherence to these guidelines and both cognitive outcomes (4,524 US children aged 8-11 years) 11 and academic achievement (1,290 Spanish adolescents aged 11-16 years) 59,60 . However, there is heterogeneity in these associations depending on the population studied and which combination of guidelines was considered 59,60 . Therefore, multivariate analyses, integrating more variables reflecting the complexity of human behaviour, might be better suited to identify more robust and plausible modes of variability relating lifestyles and cognition, and hence could provide novel evidence for movement guidelines.…”

Health-related behaviours have been related to brain structural features; however, most literature in this domain comes from developed countries. In developing settings, such as Latin America, high social inequality is associated inversely with several health-related behaviours affecting brain development. Understanding the relationship between health behaviours and brain structure in such settings is particularly important during adolescence when key habits are acquired and ingrained. In this cross-sectional study, we carry out a multimodal analysis identifying a brain region associated with health-related behaviours (i.e., fatness, fitness, sleep problems and others) and cognitive/academic performance independent of socioeconomic status in a large sample of Chilean adolescents. Our findings suggest that the relationship between health behaviours and cognitive/academic performance involves a particular brain phenotype that could play a mediator role. These findings raise the possibility of promoting healthy behaviours in adolescence as a means to influence brain structure and thereby cognitive/academic achievement, independently of socioeconomic factors.

“…Physical activity (PA) is defined as any bodily movement that increases energy expenditure (1)(2)(3). Substantial evidence has indicated that regular PA participation is linked with numerous health benefits, for example healthy weight, improved cognitive function, in addition to enhanced cardiorespiratory fitness (4,5).…”

AimAn increasing body of evidence has evidenced that physical activity is negatively associated with depression and anxiety in adolescents, although the associations between various modalities of PA with depression and anxiety have yet to be effectively explored. This study aimed to investigate the associations between sports participation and depression and anxiety among a sample of Chinese adolescents.Methods2,374 adolescents from eight schools were invited to participate in this survey, of whom 1,714 adolescents from grades 7, 8, 10 and 11 were included for final analysis. Depressive symptoms and anxiety disorder were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire−9 (PHQ-9), as well as the Generalized Anxiety Disorder−7 (GAD-7), respectively. Sport participation was assessed using a single question. Additionally, sociodemographic factors were assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression was used to estimate sport participation's associations with depressive symptoms and anxiety disorders separately, having controlled for all sociodemographic covariates.ResultsAmong all study participants, those with less participation in sport-related activities had a greater likelihood of reporting depressive symptoms (Odd ratio [OR] for never = 2.07; OR for 1–3 times per month = 1.77; OR for 1–2 times per week = 1.77), as well as anxiety disorders (OR for never = 1.61; OR for 1–3 times per month = 1.69; OR for 1–2 times per week = 1.38).ConclusionEncouraging adolescents to engage in more sports participation would provide an effective and feasible approach for mental health promotion. Despite this study having found promising evidence, the research findings should be replicated using more improved research with an enhanced study design. Future researchers are encouraged to design and implement sports participation interventions aimed at promoting mental health among adolescents, while future China-based studies are encouraged to replicate or negate our study findings.

“…For instance, adolescents with high HRPF levels are only less likely to develop cardiovascular disease later in life ( Baumgartner et al, 2020 ). Adolescents’ cardiopulmonary health has a positive correlation with their academic performance due to its promoting effect on psychological emotion and learning concentration ( Bailey et al, 2009 ; Padilla-Moledo et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2022 ), and a study by Del Giudice et al (2021) found that a lack of daily step counts would have higher odds of being hypogonadal. Muscle health, such as strength and endurance, makes adolescents with low-risk obesity more likely to be active in physical activities ( Malm et al, 2019 ; Chen and Yan, 2020 ; Lin and Yan, 2020 ; Comeras-Chueca et al, 2021 ; Gu et al, 2022 ).…”

Background: Physical activity (PA) and Physical fitness (PF) have received tremendous attention in the field of physical and mental health. However, limited attention has been given to the associations of self-reported physical fitness with some health-related outcomes. Given the COVID-19 pandemic is still active in many Chinese regions, assessing health-related physical fitness (HRPF) in adolescents using field-based assessment (such as a shuttle run for cardiorespiratory fitness) is unrealistic, therefore, this study was conducted via a self-reported questionnaire.Purpose: The present cross-sectional study was aimed at delving into the relationship between self-reported physical fitness with self-rated health, depression, anxiety, and body satisfaction in adolescents. Three thousand eight hundred and seven study participants from 12 public schools in Southeastern China were recruited and 2,407 of them provided valid data on variables that this study needed for analysis.Materials and methods: Study participants were asked to self-report their sociodemographic factors (e.g., sex, grade, age), independence, and outcomes. Generalized linear models were used to explore the associations of self-reported physical fitness (comprising general physical fitness, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, speed and agility, and flexibility) with depression, anxiety, and body satisfaction. A total of 2,407 children and adolescents with a mean age of 13.82 (±2.1) years were included in the final study analysis.Results: Higher self-reported levels of general physical fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness were associated with better self-rated health, and body satisfaction but with lower risks of depression and anxiety.
