In this Papers Podcast, Gabrielle Hale discusses her CAMH journal review paper ‘Physical activity interventions for the mental health and wellbeing of adolescents: a systematic review’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/camh.12485). Gabrielle is the lead author of the paper.



There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.



Discussion points include:






  • The link between physical activity and mental well-being in young people, and the impact of a lack of physical activity on mental health.

  • Barriers that prevent young people from participating in physical activity.

  • To what extent is the relationship between poorer mental health due to a lack of physical activity and poor mental health resulting in young people not exercising bi-directional or correlational.

  • Gender differences in outcomes and uptake of physical activity interventions.

  • Implications for CAMH, and education, professionals, and policy makers.


In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
