The impact of adolescent physical activity on quality of life: a moderated mediation model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Quality of Life (QoL) is a crucial multi-dimensional structure in the development process of adolescents. As a key topic in adolescent research, existing achievements all indicate that participating in physical activities can improve the QoL of adolescents. However, the underlying mechanisms-the mediating role of anxiety and the underlying gender differences-remain insufficiently understood.

Purpose

This study investigates the mechanisms by which adolescent physical activity influences QoL. Specifically, it examines the mediating role of anxiety and explores gender as a moderating factor. A multidimensional analysis of QoL outcomes is also conducted to provide a more nuanced understanding.

Methods

We analyzed cross-sectional data from 9,504 adolescents acro
