Physical Exercise Time and Depression Among Adolescents: A Nonlinear Dose–Response Association
Low physical exercise time is associated with higher risk for depressive symptoms in adolescents, whereas excessive exercise is also associated with higher risk of depression, particularly in boys. The findings of this study underscore the importance of adolescents increasing their physical exercise time, but also maintaining a balance to avoid excessive exercise.
