“…Second, because CRF is associated positively with serotonin, individuals who are fit would have an elevated mood and, thus, experience an enhanced sense of well-being. This assertion is consistent with research that has documented the inverse relationship between CRF and depression in male adolescents (ages 11 and 18 years; Kelly et al, 2011) and between depression and global self-esteem in middle school boys (Petrie et al, 2010). Italian boys and girls (ages 12 to 15 years), Cararro et al (2010) found that overall CRF, as measured by an endurance shuttle run, related to higher levels of global self-esteem and physical self-concept.…”

Taken together, middle school boys who are fit would have lower BMIs (Ortega et al, 2008) and would be less discrepant from the physical ideal than boys who are less fit (Petrie et al, 2010;Wilson, 2005).…”

“…Across many domains of physical, psychological, and academic well-being, CRF has been shown to contribute significantly to positive outcomes (Ortega, Ruiz, Castillo, & Sjostrom, 2008). In a longitudinal study, Kelly, et al (2011) found that CRF led to decreases in depression and improvements in academic performance and social functioning in male adolescents (ages 11 to 18 years) six months later; BMI and body fat were unrelated to these positive health outcomes.…”

“…Further, physically fit boys are more active and have higher levels of physical self-concept, such as believing they are strong and have high levels of endurance (Petrie et al, 2010), which may result in positive feedback from important people in their lives, such as coaches, peers, and family members (Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2004), and stronger feelings of physical and social competence (Greenleaf, Boyer, & Petrie, 2009). All of these factors would be associated with higher levels of self-esteem (Bowker, 2006;Ekeland et al, 2005;Kelly et al, 2011;.…”

The current study replicated and extended previous research on disordered eating and dietary intent (i.e., self-reported restriction of caloric intake with the purpose of losing weight) in boys and men by examining the direct and indirect influence of sociocultural pressure, social body comparisons, internalization of societal appearance ideals, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on dietary restraint. Participants were 681 boys (X age = 12.49 years, SD = 0.99) from six middle schools located in the south central United States. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), 32% to 35% of the Dietary Restraint variance was explained across two independent samples. Pressures to lose weight and diet predicted all the psychosocial outcomes, whereas higher levels of (CRF) predicted higher levels of body satisfaction and self-esteem and lower body mass indices (BMIs), which predicted lower dietary restraint. The results from this study support a multifactorial approach to understanding boys' dietary behaviors.

“…Further, depressive symptoms tend to increase over the course of adolescence and are associated with other health related problems in adulthood, including obesity, type II diabetes, and smoking daily (Schwarz, 2012), as well as the development of major depression disorder (MDD; Wit et al, 2010). Recent research, however, suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness (e.g., aerobic conditioning) has salutary effects with respect to depression, beginning in adolescence and extending into adulthood (Crews, Lochbaum, & Landers, 2004;Dishman et al, 2012;Kelly et al, 2011;Sui et al, 2009). What is not clear, however, is the extent to which these effects are direct and/or mediated through the development of other psychosocial states.…”

Background:A lot of evidence showed that boys and girls are at high risk of developing major or minor depression in adolescence. Increases in physical fitness have been associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, yet the mechanisms that underlie (or mediate) this relationship have not been thoroughly examined.Methods:528 boys (mean age = 12.33 years) and 507 girls (mean age = 12.32 years) drawn from a suburban school district participated. Self-report measures were used to assess the mediators (body satisfaction and social physique anxiety) and the outcome (depression); the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) in conjunction with age, Body Mass Index (BMI), and sex were used to determine an objective estimate of cardiorespiratory fitness. Path analyses were used to test the proposed models.Results:The effects of fitness on depressive symptoms were mediated through body satisfaction and social physique anxiety; 25% to 35% of the depression variance was explained.Conclusion:Boys’ and girls’ depression scores were based on the extent that their fitness levels improved their body satisfaction and lowered their social physique anxiety; body satisfaction was particularly important for girls. Thus, early adolescents’ psychological well-being may be enhanced through improvements in aerobic functioning.
