Review of Related Literature and Studies
Increased level of physical activity may have valuable short term benefits, which could influence targets for the mental health key area. Physical activity has been found to improve self-esteem and self concept, and to lower levels of stress and anxiety in young people, all of which can contribute to enhance well being and an improved quality of life.
Part of the initial remit for the Physical Activity Task Force was to develop national Physical activity targets. However, it was decided to focus on promoting the uptake of a more active lifestyle rather than setting targets. Factors contributing to this decision included the change in scientific opinion about the amount of physical activity required to produce a benefit for health; and concern that population targets may be misinterpreted as personal goals for the individual.
An improvement in psychological variables also results from flexibility, exercises and strength training. However, research on the psychological benefits on this type of activity is scarce. Based on the evidence available, it is recommended that young people participate in continuous moderate vigorous aerobic activity to improve psychological health.
