Mental health issues are of increasing public concern, however are often untreated for a variety of reasons. While limited, the research examining the relationship between mental health and martial arts training is generally positive. This systematic review and meta-analysis explored whether martial arts training may be an efficacious sports-based mental health intervention.
The meta-analysis used a random effects model and examined three mental health outcomes: wellbeing, internalising mental health, and aggression.
During January to July 2018 the following electronic databases were searched: CENTRAL, EBSCO, Embase, ERIC, MEDLINE, PUBMED, and ScienceDirect.
Eligibility criteria included: (1) martial arts was examined as an intervention or activity resulting in a psychological outcome, (2) the study reported descriptive quantitative results measured using standardised scales that compared results between groups and (3) studies were published as full-length articles in peer reviewed scientific or medical journals.
More than 500,000 citations were identified and screened to determine eligibility. Data was extracted from 14 eligible studies. Martial arts training had a significant but small positive effect on wellbeing (d = 0.346, 95% CI = 0.106 to 0.585, I = 59.51%) and a medium effect on internalising mental health (d = 0.620, 95% CI = 0.006 to 1.23, I = 84.84%). Martial arts training had a minimal non-significant positive effect in reducing aggression (d = 0.022, 95% CI = -0.191 to 0.236, I = 58.12%).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: Whilst there is considerable variance across the studies included in the meta-analyses, there is support for martial arts training as an efficacious sports-based mental health intervention for improving wellbeing and reducing symptoms associated with internalising mental health.
心理健康问题越来越受到公众关注，但由于各种原因，这些问题往往得不到治疗。尽管研究有限，但研究表明，心理健康与武术训练之间存在积极关系。本系统评价和荟萃分析探讨了武术训练是否可能是一种有效的基于运动的心理健康干预措施。
荟萃分析采用随机效应模型，考察了三种心理健康结果：幸福感、内化心理健康和攻击性。
2018 年 1 月至 7 月，检索了以下电子数据库：CENTRAL、EBSCO、Embase、ERIC、MEDLINE、PUBMED 和 ScienceDirect。
（1）武术被视为干预或活动，导致心理结果，（2）研究报告了描述性定量结果，使用标准化量表进行测量，比较了组间结果，（3）研究以同行评审的科学或医学期刊上的全文文章形式发表。
超过 50 万条引文被确定并筛选以确定其资格。从 14 项符合条件的研究中提取数据。武术训练对幸福感有显著但较小的积极影响（d=0.346，95%CI=0.106 至 0.585，I=59.51%），对内化心理健康有中度影响（d=0.620，95%CI=0.006 至 1.23，I=84.84%）。武术训练对减少攻击性有最小但无统计学意义的积极影响（d=0.022，95%CI=0.191 至 0.236，I=58.12%）。
总结/结论：尽管荟萃分析中纳入的研究存在相当大的差异，但有证据支持武术训练作为一种有效的基于运动的心理健康干预措施，可改善幸福感和减轻与内化心理健康相关的症状。
