Abstract | Physical activity, beyond its well-documented benefits for physical health, plays a crucial role in enhancing mental well-being. Research suggests that individuals with sedentary lifestyles exhibit higher morbidity rates and increased healthcare expenditures. In response to these challenges, exercise therapy is often recommended as an effective intervention for maintaining mental health. Empirical studies have consistently established a positive connotation between physical activity and various mental health outcomes. Notably, nonclinical investigations highlight that regular exercise significantly enhances self-concept and body image. This review aims to summarize current physiological and psychological mechanisms by which exercise contributes to mental well-being. One of the primary physiological pathways involved is the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a serious role in stress reply. While exercise has been shown to alleviate indications of depression and anxiety, its effects appear to be more pronounced in clinical populations than in the general public. Multiple theoretical models have been projected to explicate the relationship between physical fitness and mental health. |
