A study that was published on Monday in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that children and adolescents who are physically fit may be less likely to experience anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and depression symptoms.The study also discovered that increased resistance against these mental health issues was correlated with improved performance in muscular endurance, strength, and cardiovascular exercises. Because of this “dose-dependent” relationship, the researchers hypothesized that a fitter child or adolescent would be less likely to experience the onset of a mental health disorder.
These results coincide with an increase in children and adolescent mental health diagnoses both domestically and internationally, which has spurred research and intervention efforts. These findings suggest the potential of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness as protective factors in mitigating the onset of mental health disorders among children
Researchers in Taiwan conducted a new study that compared data from two sizable datasets: the National Insurance Research Databases, which records medical claims, diagnoses prescriptions, and other medical information, and the Taiwan National Student Fitness Tests, which measures students’ fitness performance in schools.
