Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Mental Health Impairment
In brief
The association between adequate amount of physical activity and good health is well established and for children and young people, and sufficient physical activity is an important factor for normal growth and development. Contrary, physical inactivity is associated with higher symptom pressure of mental disorders. Adolescents with mental disorders report to be less active compare the general population, with potentially increased risk of health and lifestyle diseases. This project aims to provide new knowledge on the degree of physical activity, motivation for physical activity and subjective perception of health in adolescents in need of mental health care. Further, this project aim to provide possible solution on how to increase physical activity in this patient group. Thus, this project has the potential to impact future guidelines for mental health services for adolescents in need of mental health care.
