“…Swedish adolescents who perform MVPA during their leisure time have reduced anxiety and mental health-related quality of life (QoL) [ 60 ]. In addition, MVPA was found to significantly lower the risk of mental illness and suicidal behavior compared to low physical activity (LPA) levels in adolescents [ 61 , 62 ]. Therefore, MVPA frequency, which is effective for adolescents’ mental health and suicidal behavior experience, is over 3 days/week, and it is necessary to encourage adolescents to participate in MVPA more actively than other types of PA.…”

This study aims to identify the current status and relationship between physical activity (PA), mental health, and suicidal behavior among Korean adolescents and recommend appropriate PA types and levels to lower the risk of mental health problems and suicidal behavior among adolescents. This study used the frequency of participation, three mental health factors, and four suicidal behavior factors, according to the seven types of PA, Vigorous PA (VPA), Strength training, Walks, PA on the move, and Physical education questions that 51,636 Korean adolescents responded to in the data of the 18th Korean Youth Health Behavior Survey in 2022. The results showed that physical activity levels and the mental health of female adolescents were the lowest, and the experience rate of suicidal behavior was the highest. Physical activity level and mental health were negative in the upper grades, and the experience rate of suicidal behavior was higher in the lower grades. Thus, the study proposes the following: To lower the overall risk of mental health and suicidal behavior experienced by adolescents, it is effective to encourage them to participate in physical activities which have higher exercise intensities than the Low-level Physical Activity (LPA) type of Walks and PA on the move.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to analyze the association between physical activity and sleep indicators among adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 647 adolescents (53.0% female). Leisure time physical activity at low and at moderate to vigorous intensities (420 min/week) were the independent variables and the outcomes were daytime sleepiness, classroom sleepiness, poor sleep perception, sleep duration, bedtime, and wake up time. The multivariate association was performed by Poisson regression to estimate Prevalence Ratios (PR). Results: Not achieving 420 min/week of physical activity at light and at moderate to vigorous intensities was associated with a higher prevalence ratio for classroom sleepiness (PR=1.79 and 1.64), daytime sleepiness (PR=1.25 and 1.17), and poor sleep perception (PR=1.52 and 1.27), all P<0.05. However, not achieving 420 min/week showed the opposite association and decreased the prevalence ratio for having a sleep duration <8h (PR=0.74 and 0.72), P<0.05. No association was found between physical activity and bedtime or wake up time. Mediation analysis revealed that the association between physical activity and daytime sleepiness was fully mediated by a poor perception of sleep quality, while classroom sleepiness showed a partial mediation. Conclusion: Physical activity seems to have a positive effect on daytime sleepiness, classroom sleepiness, and perceived sleep quality. Poor sleep perception was the pathway through which physical activity was associated to sleepiness in the present sample. Conversely, physical activity reduced the likelihood of students achieving 8h of sleep.

The research addresses a topic of great relevance to the area of public health by problematizing the relationship between physical activity and the incidence of mental disorders. Its general objective is to systematize the effects recorded in scientific literature on the incidence of physical activity in prevention and as a therapeutic resource for cases of mental disorders. This is a bibliographic research, of an integrative review type, carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), in which the expressions physical activity and mental disorders were used, in isolation and in combination, in the search for all indexes. The results indicate a positive impact of physical activity on the mental health of the samples studied. Regarding the parameters for administering this practice, studies, in general, converge on the assumption that any amount of physical activity is better than none, but in some studies the specification of moderate to vigorous physical activities prevails to obtain effective benefits. It concludes on the pressing importance of combating a sedentary lifestyle to gradually promote progress towards reliable parameters of physical activity that result in undeniable gains for mental health.
