Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between physical activity level, self-esteem, depression and suicide thought in adolescents. Data were used for 940 high school students in six high schools in North, Central, and South. Reliability, validity test, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted for the results. The results are as follows. Medium intensity physical activity influenced self-esteem, and low intensity physical activity affected depression. Suicide thoughts were influenced by low and medium intensity physical activity. In addition, self-esteem and depression were found to affect suicidal thoughts. The results of this study suggest that medium- and low-intensity physical activity may be an intervention strategy for improving mental health and preventing suicide of adolescents.
