Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis found physical exercise reduces negative emotions in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, highlighting anxiety relief.

Key Points

  • Physical exercise interventions significantly reduce negative emotions in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Meta-analysis revealed a standardized mean difference of -0.60 for overall negative emotions, indicating a substantial impact.
  • Subgroup analysis identified mixed forms of physical exercise to be particularly effective when conducted for at least 60 minutes weekly over 12 weeks.
  • Findings emphasize the need for high-quality research to confirm and optimize physical exercise interventions targeting negative emotions.
