Participation in regular physical activity (PA) is associated with numerous health benefits, including improvement in adolescents' mental health. The current study aimed to assess the effects of a 12-week physical activity intervention on psychological symptoms of adolescents. The sample of this controlled randomized study was composed by 150 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years old. PA intervention is an adaptation of the ActTeens Program, which includes structured PA sessions delivered during Physical Education classes. The (SDQ) was used to measure psychological symptoms. To analyze the effects of the intervention on psychological symptoms, generalized estimating equations (GEEs) models were constructed. After 12 weeks, there were no significant intervention effects for emotional problems (mean difference: -0.14; 95% IC: -1.1-0.82), conduct problems (mean difference: 0.14; 95% IC: -0.6-0.8), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (mean difference: -0.66; 95% IC: -1.4-0.1), peer problems (mean difference: 0.2; 95% IC: -0.6-1.0), prosocial behavior (mean difference: 0.00; 95% IC: -0.8; 0.8) and overall mental health score (mean difference: 0.15; 95% IC: -2.0; 2.3). No improvement in psychological symptoms was observed after 12 weeks of PA intervention. Future studies should explore how PA in different dimensions and contexts may impact positively on adolescents' mental health.
参与定期体育活动(PA)与诸多健康益处相关,包括改善青少年的心理健康。本研究旨在评估为期12周的体育活动干预对青少年心理症状的影响。这项对照随机研究的样本由150名12至15岁的青少年组成。体育活动干预是对“青少年行动计划”的一种改编,其中包括在体育课上进行的结构化体育活动课程。使用优势与困难问卷(SDQ)来测量心理症状。为了分析干预对心理症状的影响,构建了广义估计方程(GEEs)模型。12周后,在情绪问题(平均差异:-0.14;95%置信区间:-1.1 - 0.82)、品行问题(平均差异:0.14;95%置信区间:-0.6 - 0.8)、注意力缺陷/多动障碍(平均差异:-0.66;95%置信区间:-1.4 - 0.1)、同伴问题(平均差异:0.2;95%置信区间:-0.6 - 1.0)、亲社会行为(平均差异:0.00;95%置信区间:-0.8;0.8)和总体心理健康得分(平均差异:0.15;95%置信区间:-2.0;2.3)方面均未观察到显著的干预效果。在进行12周的体育活动干预后,未观察到心理症状有改善。未来的研究应探索不同维度和背景下的体育活动如何可能对青少年的心理健康产生积极影响。
