Abstract

Mental health problems are prevalent in adolescence, but sports participation may offer mental health benefits through this developmental period and beyond. Characteristics of sports participation including perceived frequency and competence may differentially predict adolescent depressive, anxious, and somatic symptoms over time and results may further vary according to gender, neighborhood context, and type of sport engagement. Data were collected at two time-points six months apart from an ethnically diverse sample of adolescents (N = 183, female = 51%). Youth sports participation and symptoms were measured using the Youth Self-Report (YSR; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). Path analyses were used to test for main and moderating effects of sports on symptoms. Results showed that categorical sports participation did not prospectively predict any type of internalizing symptoms, but perceived frequency and competence did. Competence predicted lower levels of symptoms while frequency predicted higher levels of symptoms. These results were further moderated by gender, neighborhood, and sport type such that frequency and competence predicted symptoms for girls and for youth in more resourced neighborhoods and who participated in team sports. These findings highlight the impact that sports participation can have on adolescent mental health in an ethnically diverse sample of urban youth.

运动参与、频率和能力对青少年抑郁、焦虑和躯体症状的影响有差异:性别、社区和运动类型的影响

心理健康问题在青少年中很普遍，但参加体育运动可能会在这个发育时期及以后给心理健康带来好处。随着时间的推移，体育参与的特征(包括感知到的频率和能力)可能会不同地预测青少年抑郁、焦虑和躯体症状，结果可能会因性别、社区环境和体育参与类型而进一步变化。数据收集于两个时间点，间隔6个月，来自不同种族的青少年样本(N = 183，女性= 51%)。使用青年自我报告(YSR)测量青少年体育参与和症状;阿肯巴克都,Rescorla, 2001)。通径分析用于检验运动对症状的主要和调节作用。结果显示，分类运动参与并不能预测任何类型的内化症状，但感知频率和能力可以预测。能力预测较低程度的症状，而频率预测较高程度的症状。这些结果进一步受到性别、社区和运动类型的影响，因此频率和能力预测了女孩和资源更丰富的社区和参加团队运动的青少年的症状。这些发现突出了体育参与对不同种族的城市青年样本中青少年心理健康的影响。

期刊介绍： The aims of Mental Health and Physical Activity will be: (1) to foster the inter-disciplinary development and understanding of the mental health and physical activity field; (2) to develop research designs and methods to advance our understanding; (3) to promote the publication of high quality research on the effects of physical activity (interventions and a single session) on a wide range of dimensions of mental health and psychological well-being (eg, depression, anxiety and stress responses, mood, cognitive functioning and neurological disorders, such as dementia, self-esteem and related constructs, psychological aspects of quality of life among people with physical and mental illness, sleep, addictive disorders, eating disorders), from both efficacy and effectiveness trials;
