Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a pressing concern in pediatric public health, with its prevalence rising among children and teenagers. This study explored the relationship between group-based physical activity and the well-being, resilience, and distress levels of Israeli youth, with a specific focus on those with ADHD symptoms. This cross-sectional study surveyed 699 Israeli teenagers, assessing their participation in three types of physical activities: unorganized, structured, and the "Five Fingers" program. Data were collected through an online platform and analyzed using ANOVA, -tests, and multivariable regression models to identify predictors of resilience. : Structured, group-based sport activities are associated with higher resilience ( < 0.01) and lower distress ( < 0.01) in adolescents. Adolescents with ADHD symptoms exhibited lower resilience ( < 0.001) and well-being ( < 0.001), and higher distress ( < 0.001). However, those with ADHD symptoms who participated in group-based activities fared better in terms of distress ( < 0.01) and well-being ( = 0.018) than those who did not. Participation in any sport activity, older age, male gender, and a higher socio-economic status predicted greater resilience in youth, generally. : This study presents the potential of structured physical activities that involve psychosocial and group integration training to improve the mental health of adolescents, especially in the context of ADHD symptoms.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是儿童公共卫生领域的一个紧迫问题，其在儿童和青少年中的患病率正在上升。本研究探讨了基于群体的体育活动与以色列青少年的幸福感、恢复力和痛苦程度之间的关系，特别关注那些有ADHD症状的青少年。这项横断面研究调查了699名以色列青少年，评估了他们参与三种体育活动的情况：无组织的、有组织的和“五指”计划。数据通过在线平台收集，并使用方差分析、t检验和多变量回归模型进行分析，以确定恢复力的预测因素。：有组织的、基于群体的体育活动与青少年更高的恢复力（P<0.01）和更低的痛苦程度（P<0.01）相关。有ADHD症状的青少年表现出较低的恢复力（P<0.001）和幸福感（P<0.001），以及更高的痛苦程度（P<0.001）。然而，那些有ADHD症状但参加了基于群体活动的青少年在痛苦程度（P<0.01）和幸福感（P = 0.018）方面比未参加的青少年表现更好。一般来说，参与任何体育活动、年龄较大、男性以及较高的社会经济地位预示着青少年有更强的恢复力。：本研究揭示了涉及心理社会和群体融合训练的有组织体育活动在改善青少年心理健康方面的潜力，尤其是在有ADHD症状的背景下。
