Because of the psychotherapeutic care situation, easily accessible, less stigmatizing, and efficient offers are urgently needed. Exercise therapy would be one possibility. However, the effectiveness of such offers must first be proven. We conducted a systematic review concerning the effectiveness of exercise therapy on the mental health of children and adolescents which included studies since 2020 (subsequent to Hale et al., 2021). We analyzed a total of 17 intervention studies based on the PRISMA statement. The results show that exercise therapy interventions significantly affect certain populations: Attention and cognitive skills significantly improved in children and adolescents with ADHD; for depression, we found positive effects for affection. Some studies revealed significant effects across populations on the quality of life and sleep. In children and adolescents with autism or learning disabilities, we found positive effects on social behavior. Thus, according to the literature, exercise therapy is a recommendable therapy option for children and adolescents with mental health problems. As an illustration, we present a boulder intervention as a combined exercise intervention and psychotherapy along with its feasibility as a possible practical example.</p>","PeriodicalId":54189,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kinder-Und Jugendpsychiatrie Und Psychotherapie","volume":" ","pages":"94-108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138806328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, because of improvements in cognitive functioning, attentional performance, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, physical exercise could be a promising treatment option for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this narrative review, we present and evaluate the current state of research on exercise effects in children and adolescents as well as in adults with ADHD. While studies of the short-term effects of a single bout of physical activity indicate robust effects on attention and inhibitory control, results on the impact on further symptoms of ADHD as well as in adults are mixed.

Not only are the findings of microbiome research interesting for basic scientists, they also offer relevant insights for clinical practice. A causal relationship between gut microbiome and various somatic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel diseases, and obesity as well as psychiatric diseases such as major depression, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders seems plausible. To study the causal relationship of intestinal bacteria with individual phenotypes, researchers apply so-called stool transplantations (fecal microbiota transplantations) in the preclinical context. For this purpose, they transfer microbiota samples from patients into laboratory animals to observe possible changes in phenotype. In the clinical context, fecal microbiota transplantation is already being used with therapeutic intentions for selected diseases, for example, recurrent infections with <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> or inflammatory bowel diseases; they have already become part of the official clinical guidelines for <i>C. difficile</i>. For many other diseases, however, including mental illnesses, the potential of using fecal transplantations for therapeutic purposes is still being explored. Previous findings suggest that the intestinal microbiome, particularly fecal microbiota transplantations, represent a promising starting point for new therapeutic approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":54189,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kinder-Und Jugendpsychiatrie Und Psychotherapie","volume":" ","pages":"431-440"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9430030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most studies of children and adolescents are done on ADHD and autism spectrum disorders, whereas single reports exist largely on positive effects on cognitive symptoms and quality of life. Initial studies regarding anorexia nervosa point to a potential effect of weight gain and reduction of gastrointestinal symptoms. To date, the effects of prebiotics and probiotics in depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia have been mainly investigated in adults. The best reported evidence exists for depression, whereas the effects on depressive symptomatology are small. Positive effects are seen on gastrointestinal symptoms in these disorders. Given these positive effects, the mixed literature reports may result from very heterogeneous study designs. Nevertheless, the high potential of prebiotics and probiotics may be seen for minors with mental health problems.
