“…A visual representation of the distribution of the study effect sizes is provided in the Figure. Seventeen of the 21 effect sizes (81%) were smaller than 0, indicating larger reductions in depressive symptoms for physical activity interventions . The physical activity interventions had a mean effect size of −0.29 (95% CI, −0.47 to −0.10; P = .004).…”

“…Three outliers were detected. The differences in effect sizes may be attributed to different research designs or a different study intervention . We conducted sensitivity analyses after excluding these studies, resulting in a smaller effect size that remained significant ( g = −0.15; 95% CI, −0.26 to −0.03; P = .02; I 2 = 25.8% [95% CI, 0.0%-58.1%]).…”

ImportanceDepression is the second most prevalent mental disorder among children and adolescents, yet only a small proportion seek or receive disorder-specific treatment. Physical activity interventions hold promise as an alternative or adjunctive approach to clinical treatment for depression.ObjectiveTo determine the association of physical activity interventions with depressive symptoms in children and adolescents.Data SourcesPubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and SPORTDiscus were searched from inception to February 2022 for relevant studies written in English, Chinese, or Italian.Study SelectionTwo independent researchers selected studies that assessed the effects of physical activity interventions on depressive symptoms in children and adolescents compared with a control condition.Data Extraction and SynthesisA random-effects meta-analysis using Hedges g was performed. Heterogeneity, risk of bias, and publication bias were assessed independently by multiple reviewers. Meta-regressions and sensitivity analyses were conducted to substantiate the overall results. The study followed the PRISMA reporting guideline.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome was depressive symptoms as measured by validated depression scales at postintervention and follow-up.ResultsTwenty-one studies involving 2441 participants (1148 [47.0%] boys; 1293 [53.0%] girls; mean [SD] age, 14 [3] years) were included. Meta-analysis of the postintervention differences revealed that physical activity interventions were associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms compared with the control condition (g = −0.29; 95% CI, −0.47 to −0.10; P = .004). Analysis of the follow-up outcomes in 4 studies revealed no differences between the physical activity and control groups (g = −0.39; 95% CI, −1.01 to 0.24; P = .14). Moderate study heterogeneity was detected (Q = 53.92; df = 20; P &lt; .001; I2 = 62.9% [95% CI, 40.7%-76.8%]). The primary moderator analysis accounting for total physical activity volume, study design, participant health status, and allocation and/or assessment concealment did not moderate the main treatment effect. Secondary analyses demonstrated that intervention (ie, &lt;12 weeks in duration, 3 times per week, unsupervised) and participant characteristics (ie, aged ≥13 years, with a mental illness and/or depression diagnosis) may influence the overall treatment effect.Conclusions and RelevancePhysical activity interventions may be used to reduce depressive symptoms in children and adolescents. Greater reductions in depressive symptoms were derived from participants older than 13 years and with a mental illness and/or depression diagnosis. The association with physical activity parameters such as frequency, duration, and supervision of the sessions remains unclear and needs further investigation.

The relationship between sport types, sex and visual attention as assessed in a multiple object tracking task

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study was conducted to examine differences in visual attention according to sports type and sex. In total, 132 participants [open-skill sport athletes (basketball players), closed-skill sport athletes (swimmers), and non-athletes; n = 22 men and 22 women each] aged 19–24 years performed a multiple object tracking (MOT) task, which is a well-established paradigm for the assessment of visual attention. Visual tracking accuracy was affected by the sport type (p < 0.001), being superior among basketball players than among swimmers and non-athletes, with no significant difference between the latter groups. It also varied by sex (p < 0.001), being superior among males than among females. Significant interaction between the sport type and sex was observed (p < 0.001), with male and female basketball players showing similar tracking accuracy. Our results demonstrate that open-skill sport activities strongly related to visual attention, as estimated by MOT task performance, and that sex plays a role in this performance. They also indicate that females might gain a greater visual attention advantage from open than from closed-skill sports participation, as long-term open-skill sports training appeared to minimize the sex difference in visual attention.

The aim of present study was comparison of metacognitive group intervention and group acceptance based behavioral therapy on competitive aggression of anxious professional soccer players in U-19 league in Tehran. Participants in this study were 60 professional soccer players who were occupied in professional soccer leagues in Tehran. These participants were entered into the assessment stage and after obtaining informed consent, they randomly assigned in one of the three experiment groups MCT MAC, WL. The participants completed the Sport Aggression Styles Inventory in pre-test, post-test and 3 months follow-up stages. The results of present study demonstrate that MCT and MAC can make some changes in aggression styles of anxious soccer players. MCT have been affecting on passive-aggressive and somatic aggression styles. In addition, MAC have been affecting on sadistic and masochistic aggression styles. According to these findings, it would ensure that soccer players affected by anxiety and aggression-related problems get the opportunity to gain advantages from such third wave’s interventions.
