METHODS: Following the Clinical Consensus Statement protocol, an expert group comprised of eight members with expertise in physical activity and mental health articulated recommendations regarding five physical activity contextual factors: type, physical environment, delivery, domain, and social environment.
RESULTS: To optimise the mental health benefits of physical activity, we recommend: i) activity selection be guided by factors associated with adherence and enjoyment as opposed to any specific type (type); ii) facilitators (i.e., teachers, coaches, instructors, practitioners) deliver organised physical activity sessions using an instructional style that satisfies individuals\' basic needs for autonomy, competence and social connection (delivery); iii) participation in physical activity with others who provide support, facilitate positive interactions, or make people feel valued, so long as it does not undermine a preference to be active alone (social environment); iv) where possible and appropriate, some physical activity should be undertaken outside in pleasant natural environments (physical environment); and, v) at least some physical activity be undertaken during leisure-time or via active travel, where possible prioritising activities one personally chooses to undertake (domain).
CONCLUSIONS: The type, domain, physical and social environment of physical activity, as well as the way in which it is delivered, will determine mental health outcomes. Practitioners can use these recommendations to optimise the effects of physical activity on mental health.
方法:遵循临床共识声明方案,一个由八名成员组成的专家组,他们在体育活动和心理健康方面具有专门知识,就五个体育活动背景因素提出了建议:类型,物理环境,delivery,域,和社会环境。
结果:为了优化体育锻炼对心理健康的益处,我们建议:i)活动选择应遵循与坚持和享受相关的因素,而不是任何特定类型(类型);ii)促进者(即教师,教练,教员,从业者)使用满足个人对自主性的基本需求的教学风格提供有组织的身体活动课程,能力和社会联系(交付);iii)与提供支持的其他人一起参与体育活动,促进积极互动,或者让人们感到有价值,只要它不破坏单独活跃的偏好(社会环境);iv)在可能和适当的情况下,一些身体活动应在宜人的自然环境(物理环境)中进行;和,v)至少在休闲时间或通过主动旅行进行一些身体活动,在可能的情况下,优先考虑个人选择进行的活动(域)。
结论:类型,域,身体活动的物理和社会环境,以及它的交付方式,将决定心理健康结果。从业者可以使用这些建议来优化身体活动对心理健康的影响。
