“…Table 6 illustrates the associations between PA and mental health according to PA types. PA was grouped into unstructured, structured, and overall PA (combined) ( Kinder et al, 2020 , Mota and Esculcas, 2002 ). The results showed that unstructured PA and structured PA was positively associated with mental health rather than overall PA (combined).…”

“…Data extraction followed the Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions ( Higgins et al, 2019 ). Further, the following data were extracted by two researchers (WY & CHPS) from each of the eligible studies: author, year, country, participant characteristics (i.e., number of participants, age, sex, and disability type), research design, different PA types (i.e., unstructured PA, structured PA, and overall PA [combined]; Kinder et al, 2020 ), moderators (i.e., body composition, sex, and age), measures of PA, dimensions of mental health (i.e., psychological well-being and psychological ill-being; Rodriguez-Ayllon et al, 2019 ), measures of mental health, and mental health outcomes (positive association, negative association, no association).…”

Highlights PA was consistently associated with mental health. There were positive associations between PA and overall psychological well-being. PA was negatively associated with anxiety and fatigue. Unstructured PA showed the most robust relationship with mental health. Body composition, sex and age moderated the associations.

“…Hence, performing these PA contributes to individuals' quality of life and well-being, even when circumstances are drastically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of participating in PA behavior from a health perspective was represented by the strong relationships found with regard to commitment to various PA [22,[37][38][39]. The role of participation in PA behavior in the COVID-19 pandemic still developing positive health behaviors has been recognized in this study [32,35].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being and the quality of life of college students participating in physical education classes. We consider this study to be relevant because during the COVID-19 pandemic we tested whether the boost in effective activity among physical education class participants affected well-being and quality of life. A sectional questionnaire survey was conducted across Taiwan in 2019–2020. Data were collected in two stages within 6 months from a sample of 1011 university students in Taiwan (328 male, 683 female). A series of one-way ANOVAs was adopted to examine each outcome across groups and time phases. The results provide support for a positive relationship between well-being (β = 0.25, p < 0.001), and quality of life (β = 0.92, p < 0.001), supporting our expectations. Findings from our study suggest that physical activity was positively associated with mental health; and participation in physical activity had an effect on the well-being and quality of life in college students.

“…The most significant factors that affect the adoption of the habit of regular PA include especially family nurture [4,5,6], high-quality school-based physical education [7] and regular active participation in organized PA (OPA) [8]. Organized PA is understood as structured PA with a clear focus and under the leadership of a qualified 'instructor', while unorganized PA is unstructured PA that involves numerous forms of leisure PA [9]. Adolescents' participation in OPA, compared with adolescents not participating in OPA, increases the chances of lifelong PA [10,11], and is strongly associated with greater health benefits [12,13,14] as well as academic achievement [15] or reported higher wellbeing [16].…”

Introduction andObjective. Participation of adolescents in organized physical activity (PA), together with physical education, is essential for the development of a habit of regular PA, achievement of PA recommendations and adoption of physical literacy. The aim of the study is to identify the trends and differences in PA levels between adolescents participating in organized team PA, organized individual PA, and those not participating in organized PA. Another aim is to formulate proposals to eliminate the negative effects of the pandemic on adolescents' participation in organized PA. Materials and method. The research took place between 2012-2021 in 51 secondary schools and involved a total of 1,202 boys and 1,561 girls. Participation in organized PA was examined using the 'Sports preferences survey'. Weekly PA was investigated by means of the 'International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form'. Results. The results confirmed the negative trend in participation in organized PA. However, this was predominantly caused by the negative effects of the pandemic in 2020-2021. Boys participating in organized team and individual PA had more school PA, recreation PA, vigorous PA, moderate PA and overall PA during the week, compared with boys not participating in organized PA (girls had more vigorous PA, moderate PA and overall PA). Conclusions. Participation in organized team PA and individual PA plays an important role, primarily in supporting vigorous PA but also in overall weekly PA among boys and girls. The negative effects of the pandemic should be eliminated by increasing adolescents' participation in various forms of organized PA with an emphasis on organized individual PA which can be regularly pursued, even under restrictive measures at home, in the countryside or in nature.
