To evaluate the impact of physical activity on the mood states of active and insufficiently active Italian adolescents and the relationships with sleep quality, sex, and academic performance, analyzing guidelines for the post-COVID-19 scenario.
This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, and descriptive study. Data collection was carried out through an electronic questionnaire via Google Forms. Adolescent students from schools in the Lazio region, Italy, were evaluated.
In total, 437 Italian adolescents were included, with a mean age of 15.9 ± 1.37 years. The average time of exercise reported by the students was 277 min per week. Physical activity appears to be positively correlated with improved mood states, particularly in adolescents who engage in 150 min or more of physical activity per week, who exhibited notably higher levels of vigor. It was found that female adolescents presented a worse mood state, greater tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and mental confusion, and worse vigor when compared to boys and that adolescents who had poor sleep quality presented significantly worse mood state. Adolescents with an insufficient perception of academic performance demonstrated a significantly worse mood state, tension, depression, anger, and mental confusion, with a submerged mood profile when compared to adolescents who perceived themselves as excellent, with an iceberg profile. In the regression analysis, it was found that for each minute of physical activity practiced, the score in the state of vigor of the adolescents increased by 0.02 and mental confusion decreased by 0.002.
From the present findings, we conclude that recommendations on PA practices for adolescents should be strengthened, as a way to mitigate possible damage to mood states, especially in the post-COVID-19 scenario. Future studies need to deepen the relationships between the mental health, sex, and academic performance of adolescents to strengthen positive mood states and elucidate information on the type, intensity, and dosage of physical activity to achieve mood benefits.
分析新冠疫情后相关指南，评估体育活动对积极运动和运动不足的意大利青少年情绪状态的影响，以及与睡眠质量、性别和学业成绩的关系。
这是一项横断面、定量描述性研究。通过谷歌表单以电子问卷的形式收集数据。对意大利拉齐奥地区学校的青少年学生进行评估。
共纳入437名意大利青少年，平均年龄为15.9±1.37岁。学生报告的平均运动时间为每周277分钟。体育活动似乎与改善情绪状态呈正相关，尤其是每周进行150分钟或更多体育活动的青少年，他们表现出明显更高的活力水平。研究发现，与男孩相比，女性青少年的情绪状态更差，紧张、抑郁、愤怒、疲劳和精神混乱程度更高，活力更差；睡眠质量差的青少年情绪状态明显更差。学业成绩感知不足的青少年与自认为优秀的青少年相比，情绪状态、紧张、抑郁、愤怒和精神混乱程度明显更差，情绪剖面图呈下沉状，而自认为优秀的青少年情绪剖面图呈冰山状。回归分析发现，青少年每进行一分钟体育活动，活力状态得分增加0.02，精神混乱程度降低0.002。
根据目前的研究结果，我们得出结论，应加强针对青少年体育活动实践的建议，以此减轻对情绪状态可能造成的损害，尤其是在新冠疫情后。未来的研究需要深入探讨青少年心理健康、性别和学业成绩之间的关系，以增强积极情绪状态，并阐明体育活动的类型、强度和剂量等信息，以实现情绪改善的益处。
