Overview

Cross-sectional survey examines how daily physical activity impacts depression and anxiety in adolescents, indicating a need for increased activity.

Key Points

  • Elevated depression and anxiety symptoms correlated with insufficient physical activity during the pandemic.
  • Participants reporting less than 30 minutes of physical activity daily showed significantly higher odds of depression and anxiety.
  • Cross-sectional online survey conducted among 1,142 Chinese adolescents aged 11-18 during June 2020.
  • Promoting daily physical activity may support adolescent mental health during future public health emergencies.
