Physical Activity and Mental Well-Being Among University Students: The Role of Beliefs in the Mental Health Benefits of Physical Activity
The findings suggest that PA level is indirectly associated with mental well-being through belief in the mental health benefits of PA among university students. These findings highlight the potential importance of PA-related beliefs in mental health promotion and point to indirect psychological pathways that may link PA and mental well-being, warranting further longitudinal examination.
