Physical activity as a protective factor in the mood of children and adolescents: association with overweight and obesity
The practice of physical activity (PA) was shown to have a positive effect on mood, with active children and adolescents reporting lower levels of depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion, and higher levels of vigor. These findings underscore the importance of PA as a protective factor against mood disturbances in this population, highlighting its potential role in improving emotional well-being.
