Abstract

Mental health disorders are a threat to adolescents, and in Indonesia, awareness of the importance of mental health among adolescents is still low. Regular, high-intensity physical activity interventions play a role in preventing mental health disorders in adolescents. This article aims to analyze the effect of physical activity on adolescent mental health in Indonesia. This research is a literature review using the PRISMA diagram method. The articles used were sourced from several SINTA and Scopus-indexed scientific journals in the last 5 years. Of the 1470 articles obtained during the article search process, further identification, screening, article eligibility assessment, and overall article assessment were carried out. The review results obtained eight articles that were relevant to the inclusion criteria and the accuracy of the research study. Five studies showed that high-intensity physical activity had an effect on mental health, emotional intelligence, and reduced levels of stress, depression, and anxiety, while the other three studies showed that daily physical activity with mild to moderate intensity and inconsistent intensity did not have a positive impact on adolescents' mental health. Exercise or physical activity of at least moderate intensity and conducted consistently is one of the attempts adopted by those suffering from mental health issues. © 2024 by authors, all rights reserved.
