Effects of exercise based on ACSM recommendations on anxiety in children and adolescents: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

The meta-analysis demonstrated that exercise interventions showed significant anxiolytic effects in children and adolescents. Moreover, the anxiety reduction in the high ACSM adherence group was significantly larger than that in the low/uncertain ACSM adherence group.
