Exercise to Help Kids' Moods

Boost Self-Confidence Through Team Sports

While any exercise is good for mood, playing on a team may have specific benefits. Studies show that kids on teams have a better self-image and are less likely to be depressed or anxious. Along with the physical activity, the sense of belonging that comes with being on a team may improve mood. When kids have fun being active, they're more likely to want to move and exercise.
