Good to see mental health as an (the first!) option British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM)! The more we normalise and talk about the idea of "I exercise/ am active to look after my mental health" the better! @PhysMentManc @BrendonStubbs @SchuchFelipe

British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) Emmanuel (Manos) Stamatakis fiona bull Scott Lear, PhD ISPAH World Health Organization (WHO) ISBNPA @Ulf_Ekelund Mark Hamer Bill Vicenzino CMAJ And yet we continue to sell it primarily as (physical) medicine. Not what the punters think about nor what will keep them involved.

Disappointing physical activity basically ignored (except brief ref to guidelines) in new World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on mental health promotive & preventive interventions for adolescents who.int/docs/default-s… Exercise Works! @PhysMentManc @BrendonStubbs @alex_gparker Lindsey Reece 🇬🇧


Important point: NHS Health Scotland recent campaign directly does this: youtube.com/watch?v=qyy1FH… "Moving more can clear your head" NHSHealthScotland Campaign here: clearyourhead.scot/tips?filter=ke… 1/n


And Megan Teychenne et al highlighted this earlier in 2020 "Current guidelines may not effectively address mental health outcomes" suggesting recommendations should be for "small amounts of enjoyable physical activity" for mental health benefit sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 3/3
