ÖzetÇocuklarda fiziksel aktivite düzeyi son yıllarda giderek azalmaktadır. Fiziksel aktivitenin azalması, başta obezite olmak üzere pek çok kronik hastalığın erken yaşlarda görülmesine neden olmaktadır. Yaşam boyu fiziksel aktiviteye yeterli katılım ve normal kilonun korunması, obezite, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, hipertansiyon, Tip II diyabet, akciğer ve kolon kanseri gibi birçok kronik hastalıktan korunmada oldukça etkilidir. Aynı zamanda kendine güvenin, benlik saygısının ve akademik başarı-nın artması ve depresyon belirtilerin azalması gibi önemli psikososyal yararları vardır. Bu nedenle bu çalışma çocuk ve ergenler ile çalışan meslek gruplarının ve ailelerin, fiziksel aktiviteninin çocuklar üzerindeki sağlık yararlarının yanı sıra, psikososyal yararları konusundaki farkındalığını arttırmak ve çocukların fiziksel aktivite düzeyini artırmaya yönelik öneriler sunmak amacıyla planlanmıştır.Anahtar sözcükler: Çocuk, fiziksel aktivite, biyopsikososyal. AbstractPhysical activity levels in children have been steadily decreasing in recent years. Reduced physical activity leads to numerous chronic diseases at an early age, particularly obesity. Lifelong participation in physical activity and maintenance of ideal bodyweight are highly effective in the prevention of chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, Type II diabetes, lung and colon cancers. At the same time physical activity increases self-confidence, self-esteem and academic achievement, and reduces symptoms of depression. Therefore, this study was designed to improve awareness of professional groups and families working with children and adolescents about physical activity benefits on children health, as well as psychosocial benefits and planned to offer suggestions for increasing physical activity levels of children.

“…For instance, long-term voluntary exercise increases measures of selfesteem (Morgan, 1982;Waade 2004) and well-being (Norris et al, 1990;Muller et al, 2006) and decreases measures of depression (Veale et al, 1992;Dunn et al, 2005) and anxiety (Antunes et al, 2005 Manger andMotta, 2005). Not surprisingly, epidemiological studies report that participation in activities that promote physical fitness is associated with a lower incidence of tobacco and substance use among adolescent populations (Field et al, 2001;Kirkcaldy et al, 2002). Despite these promising epidemiological findings, remarkably little clinical and laboratory data exist that support a causal relationship between aerobic exercise and a decreased propensity to engage in drug-seeking behavior.…”

Aerobic exercise can serve as an alternative, non-drug reinforcer in laboratory animals and has been recommended as a potential intervention for substance abusing populations. Unfortunately, relatively little empirical data have been collected that specifically address the possible protective effects of voluntary, long-term exercise on measures of drug self-administration. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of chronic exercise on sensitivity to the positive-reinforcing effects of cocaine in the drug self-administration procedure. Female rats were obtained at weaning and immediately divided into two groups. Sedentary rats were housed individually in standard laboratory cages that permitted no exercise beyond normal cage ambulation; exercising rats were housed individually in modified cages equipped with a running wheel. After 6 weeks under these conditions, rats were surgically implanted with venous catheters and trained to self-administer cocaine on a fixedratio schedule of reinforcement. Once self-administration was acquired, cocaine was made available on a progressive ratio schedule and breakpoints were obtained for various doses of cocaine. Sedentary and exercising rats did not differ in the time to acquire cocaine self-administration or responding on the fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement. However, on the progressive ratio schedule, breakpoints were significantly lower in exercising rats than sedentary rats when responding was maintained by both low (0.3 mg/kg/infusion) and high (1.0 mg/kg/infusion) doses of cocaine. In exercising rats, greater exercise output prior to catheter implantation was associated with lower breakpoints at the high dose of cocaine. These data indicate that chronic exercise decreases the positive-reinforcing effects of cocaine and support the possibility that exercise may be an effective intervention in drug abuse prevention and treatment programs.

“…Higher levels of self-esteem are associated with increased self-efficacy, body image, and leadership, and reduced levels of depression and anxiety [5,9]. As outlined in recent reviews [2,5,10], few studies have examined the link between physical activity and self-esteem among adolescent girls, and no studies have tested the direction of this association. Given the low rates of physical activity participation in this population [11], these are important questions to address.…”

Purpose: For decades, researchers have proclaimed the positive psychosocial benefits of participation in physical activity. However, recent meta-analyses of the literature have found infrequent and inconclusive empirical support for the link between physical activity and psychosocial well-being. In this study, we use data from a longitudinal study to explore the links between participation in physical activity and global self-esteem among girls from childhood into early adolescence and the direction of this relationship. Methods:Participants included 197 non-Hispanic white girls. Girls' participation in physical activity and their global self-esteem were assessed when they were 9, 11, and 13 years old. Panel regression was used to assess the lagged effect of physical activity on self-esteem and the lagged effect of self-esteem on physical activity, controlling for family socioeconomic status (SES) and girls' body mass index (BMI).Results: A significant lagged effect of physical activity on self-esteem was identified. Specifically, higher physical activity at ages 9 and 11 years predicted higher self-esteem at ages 11 and 13 years respectively, controlling for covariates. Positive effects of physical activity on self-esteem were most apparent at age 11 and for girls with higher BMI. No support was gained for the lagged effect of selfesteem on physical activity. Conclusions:Results suggest that participating in physical activity can lead to positive self-esteem among adolescent girls, particularly for younger girls and those at greatest risk of overweight. These findings highlight the necessity of promoting physical activity among adolescent girls as a method of fostering positive self-worth. KeywordsExercise; Children; Girls; Adjustment; Mental health; Psychosocial well-being NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptThe positive effect of physical activity on mental health is a long-held and widely accepted belief among scholars and practitioners alike. Mental health benefits of physical activity may result from increases in social support and a sense of mastery as well as changes in noradrenaline and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin [1]. Recent reviews of the literature, however, indicate that empirical support for the link between participation in physical activity and psychosocial well-being is infrequent and inconclusive [2][3][4][5]. With this in mind, this study assesses the longitudinal association between physical activity and global self-esteem in a sample of adolescent girls, a population at risk for depression and low selfesteem [6][7][8].Self-esteem is the focus of this study because it has been identified as a predictor of many other constructs that constitute psychosocial well-being. Higher levels of self-esteem are associated with increased self-efficacy, body image, and leadership, and reduced levels of depression and anxiety [5,9]. As outlined in recent reviews [2,5,10], few studies have examined the link between physical activity and self-...
