The presentation of unhealthy psychological symptoms are rising sharply in adolescents. Detrimental lifestyle behaviours are proposed as both possible causes and consequences. This study set out to compare selected measures of quality and quantity of movement between adolescents with and without unhealthy psychological symptoms. Using a cross sectional design, 96 participants completed the study from a whole year group of 166, age (13.36 ± 0.48) male 50.6% from a secondary school in Oxfordshire, England as a part of a larger study (EPIC) between January and April 2018. Measures were taken of quality and quantity of movement: reaction/movement time, gait pattern & physical activity, alongside psychological symptoms. Differences in movement behaviour in relation to psychological symptom and emotional problem presentation were determined using ANOVA. In the event of a significant result for the main factor of each parameter, a Bonferroni -corrected post hoc test was conducted to show the difference between categories in each group. Results for both unhealthy psychological symptoms and emotional problems were grouped into four categories ('Close to average', 'slightly raised', 'high' and 'very high'). Early adolescents with very high unhealthy psychological symptoms had 16.79% slower reaction times (p = 0.003, η = 0.170), 13.43% smaller walk ratio (p = 0.007, η = 0.152), 7.13% faster cadence (p = 0.005, η = 0.149), 6.95% less step time (p = 0.007, η = 0.153) and 1.4% less vigorous physical activity (p = 0.04, η = 0.102) than children with close to average psychological symptoms. Early adolescents with very high emotional problems had 12.25% slower reaction times (p = 0.05, η = 0.081), 10.61% smaller walk ratio (p = 0.02, η = 0.108), 6.03% faster cadence (p = 0.01, ηp = 0.134), 6.07% shorter step time (p = 0.007, ηp = 0.141) and 1.78% less vigorous physical activity (p = 0.009, ηp = 0.136) than children with close to average emotional problems. Different movement quality and quantity of was present in adolescents with unhealthy psychological symptoms and emotional problems. We propose movement may be used to both monitor symptoms, and as a novel therapeutic behavioural approach. Further studies are required to confirm our findings.
不健康心理症状在青少年中急剧上升。不良生活方式行为被认为是两者的可能原因和后果。本研究旨在比较有和无不健康心理症状的青少年之间运动质量和数量的选择测量。使用横断面设计,96 名参与者完成了来自英格兰牛津郡一所中学的 166 名全年级学生的研究,年龄(13.36 ± 0.48),男性占 50.6%,这是 2018 年 1 月至 4 月期间一项更大的 EPIC 研究的一部分。对运动质量和数量进行了测量:反应/运动时间、步态模式和身体活动,以及心理症状。使用方差分析确定与心理症状和情绪问题表现相关的运动行为差异。如果每个参数的主要因素存在显著结果,则进行 Bonferroni 校正后的事后检验,以显示每组中各个类别的差异。不健康心理症状和情绪问题的结果分为四类(“接近平均值”、“略有升高”、“高”和“非常高”)。非常高不健康心理症状的早期青少年反应时间慢 16.79%(p = 0.003,η = 0.170),步幅比小 13.43%(p = 0.007,η = 0.152),步频快 7.13%(p = 0.005,η = 0.149),步幅时间短 6.95%(p = 0.007,η = 0.153),剧烈身体活动少 1.4%(p = 0.04,η = 0.102)与心理症状接近平均值的儿童相比。非常高情绪问题的早期青少年反应时间慢 12.25%(p = 0.05,η = 0.081),步幅比小 10.61%(p = 0.02,η = 0.108),步频快 6.03%(p = 0.01,η = 0.134),步幅时间短 6.07%(p = 0.007,η = 0.141),剧烈身体活动少 1.78%(p = 0.009,η = 0.136)与情绪问题接近平均值的儿童相比。有不健康心理症状和情绪问题的青少年的运动质量和数量不同。我们提出运动可以用来监测症状,也可以作为一种新的治疗行为方法。需要进一步的研究来证实我们的发现。
