Trends of Physical Activity Among Baltic Adolescents Through an Intersectional Lens
BACKGROUND: This study examined trends in physical activity among Baltic adolescents across the intersection of gender and socio-economic status (SES). METHODS: Data were gathered from Health Behavior in School-aged Children (2001-2018) (n = 61,619). No or low moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (≤ 1 day/week of 60 min/day of MVPA), insufficient physical activity (not engaging in 60 min/day of MVPA daily), gender, and SES were self-repo…
Physical Activity as a Mediator in the Relationship Between Body Image Perception and Low Mood in Adolescents
Body image (BI) plays a critical role in mental health, with negative perceptions often linked to feelings of low mood. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to enhance self-acceptance and reduce negative emotions, suggesting it may help mitigate the impact of BI on low mood. This study examines the relationship between BI and low mood among adolescents, and explores the role of PA as a mediator in this relationship. The study had a cross-section…

Mental health included low mood, irritability, nervousness, and sleep difficulties, while well-being included life satisfaction and self-reported health. Multi-regression a…
