Abstract

Background

This study explores the relationship between movement behaviors and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, and perceived stress) in youth, aiming to identify optimal balance of movement behaviors for mental health benefits.

Methods

327 participants aged 17–24years wore accelerometers for 7 consecutive days to measure moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and sedentary behavior (SB). Sleep (SLP) was self-reported. Depression, anxiety, and perceived stress were assessed using self-report questionnaires. Compositional data analysis examined the relationship between movement behaviors and mental health indicators. Optimal time-use were identified by investigating all possible 24-h combinations associated with the best 5% of outcomes.

Results

More SB time was associated with higher scores for depression (b = 6.34, p < 0.05), anxiety (b = 7.94, p < 0.05), and perceived stress (b = 5.14, p < 0.05). More MVPA time was associated with lower scores for depression (b = −2.24, p < 0.05) and perceived stress scores (b = −1.56, p < 0.05). Substituting 30 min of SB with LPA or MVPA improved depression and perceived stress, while substituting SB with LPA reduced anxiety. Optimal time-use compositions were 503 min for sleep, 503 min for sedentary, 322 min for LPA, and 112 min for MVPA.

Conclusion

This study emphasizes the association between movement behaviors and mental health in youth. Reducing sedentary time and increasing MVPA were linked to better mental health. Achieving optimal mental health requires balancing time spent on various daily activities, minimizing sedentary behavior, and maximizing time allocated to MVPA whenever possible.

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;
