Integrating Physical Activity & Mental Wellbeing Support
The Purpose
A significant proportion of young adults in the UK experience mental health problems.
Studies and surveys indicate that rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions are elevated in this age group.
Reduced Anxiety
Research consistently demonstrates that exercise, particularly aerobic activities, can effectively reduce symptoms of anxiety. Exercise promotes the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which plays a crucial role in mood regulation.
Stress Management
Exercise helps to regulate the body's stress response system. It reduces the levels of stress hormones like cortisol and increases the release of endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.
Positive Outcomes
Research supports the idea that exercise can be as effective as other treatments, such as medication or therapy, for certain conditions, particularly mild to moderate depression and anxiety
The most dangerous phrase in the language is "we've always done it this way"
"In some cases, interventions to tackle the triggers of a person’s distress, or encouraging them to access activities which improve mood and wellbeing such as the arts, physical activity, or nature, may be most effective."
