Exploring the Impact of Physical Activity on Academic Stress in Chinese Adolescents
August 1, 2025 - 09:07
Excessive academic stress is a significant factor influencing the mental health of Chinese adolescents. Recent research aimed to examine the relationships between physical activity, general self-efficacy, and psychological resilience in the context of academic stress. The study highlights that engaging in regular physical activity can serve as a protective factor against the pressures of academic life.
The findings suggest that adolescents who participate in physical activities tend to exhibit higher levels of self-efficacy and psychological resilience. These traits, in turn, contribute to a reduction in academic stress. By fostering a sense of accomplishment and enhancing coping mechanisms, physical activity can play a crucial role in promoting overall well-being among students.
This research underscores the importance of integrating physical activity into the daily routines of adolescents, particularly in a highly competitive academic environment. Encouraging young individuals to engage in sports or exercise could be a vital strategy for mitigating stress and improving mental health outcomes in this demographic.
