Abstract

Introduction. Adolescents who practice sports have better mental health indicators. Objective. To analyze the association between different types of physical activity (systematized exercise, individual, and collective sports), mental health, and suicidal ideation in adolescents. Method. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 666 Brazilian adolescents (14-19 y.o.) attending high schools and selected using random cluster sampling. The mental health indicators analyzed were evaluated through the Self Reporting Questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, including suicidal ideation. We also obtained physical activity information through questionnaires. Results. There was a higher prevalence related to mental disorders (54.2% vs. 32.5%), difficulties related to mental health (79.6% vs. 48.4%), and suicidal thoughts (22.9% vs. 11.4%) in girls than in boys (p () .001 for all). The boys engaged in more team sports (41.0 vs. 23.8), whereas girls performed more exercise (45.1 vs. 26.5; p () .001). Discussion and conclusion. The practice of team sports helps develop the collective spirit, stimulates social interaction, and develops reasoning and emotional intelligence. Boys who play team sports have fewer symptoms of common mental disorders, lower mental health problems, and less suicidal ideation than physically inactive boys.

团体运动是预防青少年心理健康问题和自杀意念的保护因素

介绍。参加体育运动的青少年有更好的心理健康指标。目标。分析青少年不同类型的体育活动(系统运动、个人和集体运动)、心理健康和自杀意念之间的关系。方法。我们对666名巴西高中生(14-19岁)进行了横断面研究，采用随机整群抽样。通过自我报告问卷和优势与困难问卷对所分析的心理健康指标进行评估，包括自杀意念。我们还通过问卷调查获得了身体活动信息。结果。女孩中与精神障碍相关的患病率(54.2%比32.5%)、与精神健康相关的困难(79.6%比48.4%)和自杀念头(22.9%比11.4%)均高于男孩(p < 0.001)。男孩更多地参与团队运动(41.0比23.8)，而女孩更多地进行锻炼(45.1比26.5;P() .001)。讨论与结论。团队运动的实践有助于培养集体精神，促进社会互动，发展推理和情商。参加团队运动的男孩比不运动的男孩有更少的常见精神障碍症状，更少的精神健康问题，更少的自杀意念。
