Helping children and young people set health-related goals and develop healthy habits are useful tools for mental health, either for academic achievement or to develop well-being and resilience.
Exercise is another way for children and young people to boost their wellbeing. Exercise releases endorphins into the brain and helps release stress hormones from the body, reduces anxiety levels, lowers blood pressure, improves moods, and increases self-confidence.
There are many types of exercise that children and young people can participate in, such as running, cycling, swimming, dancing, and martial arts. Yoga is another good exercise, involving stretching and poses that are said to promote peace of mind and relaxation.
In school, children are taught exercise through weekly PE sessions and the benefits through PSHE.
What types of exercises do you do? Do you feel they help change your mood and mind?
