The large-scale disruptions to physical activity during the coronavirus pandemic have been found to be a leading predictor of common mental disorders. In addition, regular physical exercise has been found to alleviate anxiety, sadness and depression during the pandemic. These findings, together with numerous studies published before the pandemic on the effects of physical activity on mental health, should be considered in the provision of mental health care following the pandemic. Cross-sectional research has revealed that all types of exercise and sport are associated with a reduced mental health burden. Therefore, the effectiveness of exercise and sport participation in sustainable mental health care as well as the causal relationship between exercise, psychosocial health and common mental disorders merit further investigation. Physical activity and sport, with their global accessibility, significant and clinically meaningful efficacy as well as virtual absence of adverse effects, offer a promising option for the promotion of mental health, including the prevention and treatment of common mental disorders. Physical exercise and sport are likely to become valuable public mental health resources in the future.
在新冠疫情期间，身体活动受到的大规模干扰已被发现是常见精神障碍的主要预测因素。此外，人们还发现，定期进行体育锻炼能缓解疫情期间的焦虑、悲伤和抑郁情绪。这些研究结果，连同疫情之前发表的众多关于身体活动对心理健康影响的研究，在疫情之后提供心理健康护理时都应予以考虑。横断面研究表明，所有类型的运动和体育活动都与减轻心理健康负担有关。因此，参与运动和体育活动在可持续心理健康护理中的有效性，以及运动、心理社会健康和常见精神障碍之间的因果关系值得进一步研究。身体活动和体育项目具有全球可及性、显著且具有临床意义的功效，而且几乎没有副作用，为促进心理健康，包括预防和治疗常见精神障碍提供了一个很有前景的选择。体育锻炼和体育活动未来可能会成为宝贵的公共心理健康资源。
