Description
Li Zhuang and coauthors gather in 2026 recent studies on exercise, resilience, and mental health in teenagers. Adolescent mental health is a worldwide concern, and activity programs are a practical public tool. Resilience, the ability to recover from stress, may explain part of the benefit.
The review covered studies from 2022 to 2025 across five databases, focusing on youth aged about ten to nineteen. More active teenagers generally reported better mental health and stronger resilience. All ten studies that formally tested the pathway found resilience carried part of the exercise effect. Programs built on mastery and social connection looked most promising.
