“…For example, depression increases violent behavior and suicidal ideation, 30 while high levels of emotional, cognitive, and mental health buffer bullying, suicidal ideation, and behavior. 31 A survey of Chinese adolescents showed that those with poorer mental health had higher suicidal attitudes, which in turn promoted greater suicidal ideation; 32,33 those with major depressive and anxiety disorders had a higher smoking intensity; and those with poorer mental health had higher rates of truancy and being prone to alcohol abuse. 34 A survey on the participation of ethnic minority students in risky behaviors in Malaysia showed that mental health conditions played an important role in predicting deviant behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and illegal drug use among adolescents.…”

Physical exercise is an important predictor of deviant behavior in adolescents; however, the paths and mechanisms underlying this relationship remain understudied. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study used education tracking data of 8725 Chinese adolescents (4453 males, 4240 females, average age 14 ± 0.73) to construct a chain mediation model to explore whether sleep quality and mental health mediated the relationship between physical exercise and adolescent deviant behavior. Results:The results show that physical exercise cannot directly predict adolescent deviant behavior; however, it can indirectly affect deviant behavior through the mediating effect of sleep quality and mental health as well as the chain mediating benefit of "sleep quality-mental health". Conclusion: Sleep quality and mental health are important internal factors of physical exercise that inhibit deviant adolescent behavior. The lack of physical activity and poor sleep quality should be prioritized in interventions regarding deviant behavior among Chinese adolescents.
