Physical Fitness Linked to Better Mental Health in Young People
Briefly

Physical fitness in children and adolescents may protect against developing depressive symptoms, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Better performance in cardiovascular activities, strength, and muscular endurance is linked to greater protection against mental health conditions.
Improved performance in activities like 800-meter runs, curl-ups, and standing jumps was associated with a lower risk of mental health disorders.
A 30-second decrease in 800-meter time was linked to a lower risk of anxiety, depression, and ADHD in girls.
