This review aimed to identify and assess existing evidence of the impact of sport and physical activity programs on mental health and social and emotional wellbeing outcomes within young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The review also aimed to highlight limitations of current practice within the research area. A systematic search of literature was undertaken on three peer-reviewed databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE and SPORTSDiscus) and grey literature from January to March 2021. Studies were included if they described a sport and physical activity program for young (10-24 years) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and reported mental health or social and emotional wellbeing outcomes. Seventeen studies were selected for this review. Within these studies, the most commonly reported outcomes were related to psychosocial development (N = 12) and a sense of connectedness (N = 12). Mental illness related outcomes (N = 1) were rarely reported, as were substance use (N = 2) and social and emotional literacy (N = 1). Promising outcomes included increased connection to culture, self-esteem and confidence. Nonetheless, due to indirectness and suboptimal study design the precise impact on these outcomes could not be determined. A relevant evidence base is emerging on the impact sport and physical activity programs have on the mental health and social and emotional wellbeing of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. However, further research that utilises robust, culturally appropriate methodologies and tools needs to be undertaken before the effects of sport and physical activity programs can reliably be discerned.
本综述旨在识别和评估体育与身体活动项目对年轻原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民心理健康以及社会和情感幸福感影响的现有证据。该综述还旨在突出该研究领域当前实践的局限性。于2021年1月至3月在三个同行评审数据库（PsycINFO、MEDLINE和SPORTSDiscus）以及灰色文献中进行了系统的文献检索。如果研究描述了针对年轻（10 - 24岁）原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的体育与身体活动项目，并报告了心理健康或社会和情感幸福感结果，则纳入该研究。本综述选取了17项研究。在这些研究中，最常报告的结果与心理社会发展（N = 12）和联系感（N = 12）有关。很少报告与精神疾病相关的结果（N = 1），物质使用（N = 2）和社会与情感素养（N = 1）也是如此。有前景的结果包括与文化的联系增加、自尊和自信增强。然而，由于研究的间接性和设计不够优化，无法确定对这些结果的确切影响。关于体育与身体活动项目对年轻原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民心理健康以及社会和情感幸福感影响的相关证据基础正在形成。然而，在能够可靠地辨别体育与身体活动项目的效果之前，需要采用稳健、符合文化背景的方法和工具进行进一步研究。
