Abstract

This paper reviews the latest evidence on whether physical activity for children and adolescents is associated with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and cognitive functioning. Results from an updated review of systematic reviews are presented and discussed. It is concluded that physical activity is causally associated with cognitive functioning, partially so with depression, but not with self-esteem. Evidence is limited concerning anxiety.
