Unit 4 Assignment: Literature Review Article Submission.

An et al. (2020) explore the relationship between physical activity and life satisfaction and happiness. The study involved young, middle-aged, and older adults. According to this study, high and moderate activity levels were significantly associated with high life satisfaction and happiness. The findings show that low activity levels reduce life satisfaction and happiness. The researchers also reported that life satisfaction and happiness increase with age. The information in this article is important to my study because it provides empirical evidence on the relationship between physical exercise and aspects of mental health like life satisfaction and happiness. Therefore, it is a valuable source for understanding and designing a study to explore the topic further.

Herbert (2022) explores the impact of physical activity on mental health among university students. The study focused on low-to-moderate-intensity exercise and its impact on mental health. The findings show that physical activities positively influence mental health, especially by reducing perceived stress and depressive symptoms. The article is important for studying the relationship between physical and mental health. It provides empirical evidence on the benefits of physical activities in addressing mental health challenges. The findings will help design data collection tools to ensure that effective forms of exercise are incorporated and measured.

Oswald et al. (2020) are a comprehensive scoping review exploring the relationship between running and mental. The authors reviewed existing literature to identify gaps, patterns, and potential areas for future research. The findings show that running is one of the most beneficial forms of exercise and has various benefits for mental health, including reduced depression, anxiety, and stress. Also, running is associated with effective cognitive functioning and mood regulation. This study is important in the literature review for my study on the relationship between physical and mental health because it gives an overview of existing evidence on the impact of running on mental health. Incorporating the findings from this study will be essential in designing my study to ensure that it fills the gaps identified by the researchers.

Wong et al. (2023) is a scoping review exploring the relationship between physical activity, physical health, and mental health. The authors reviewed 371 studies on fall risk and balance, functional fitness, body composition, and mental health. They concluded that physical activity is an effective intervention for improving mental health among older adults. This study provides important information on the health outcomes associated with physical exercise. The authors have highlighted key methodological approaches and gaps in research. Therefore, the study gives important insights to design a good and culturally sensitive research model. The integrated review offers insights for identifying and designing appropriate assessment instruments tailored to older adults.
