ASICS Global Study Shows Link Between Regular Exercise in Teenage Years and Positive Mental Wellbeing in Adulthood

  • Global ASICS study of 26,000 people reaffirms the connection between movement and the mind and uncovers a direct link between teenage physical activity and adult mental wellbeing
  • Each additional year a teenager remains engaged in exercise is associated with improved State of Mind scores in adulthood, with the ages of 15–17 identified as the most critical years for staying active
  • Yet, younger generations are disengaging from exercise earlier and in larger numbers, potentially impacting their mental wellbeing now and for years to come

LONDON, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, ASICS is announcing the results of its second Global State of Mind Study, which reaffirms a positive link between physical exercise and mental wellbeing and uncovers a link between being physically active in teenage years and positive mental wellbeing in adulthood.

The study of over 26,000 respondents across 22 countries found that the more people exercise, the higher their State of Mind scores1. Across the globe, respondents who are regularly active2 have an average State of Mind score of 67/100, while inactive3 people have a much lower State of Mind score of just 54/100.

What’s more, the study uncovered that being physically active in your teenage years directly impacts your mind later in life. Participants who engaged in exercise throughout their adolescence report higher activity levels and State of Mind scores as adults. The findings indicate that remaining active as a teenager is key to establishing good exercise habits that last into adulthood and positively impact adult mental wellbeing.

In fact, the study was able to pinpoint the ages of 15–17 as the most critical years for staying active and when dropping out of exercise significantly affects your mental state for years to come. Those who regularly exercised at 15–17 years old are found to be more likely to remain active later in life and report higher State of Mind scores as adults (64/100 vs 61/100) than those who weren’t active during these years.

In comparison, respondents who dropped out of exercise before the age of 15 displayed the lowest activity levels and lowest State of Mind scores in adulthood. 30% are still inactive as adults and they are shown to be 11% less focused, 10% less confident, 10% less calm and 10% less composed compared to those who were able to exercise throughout adolescence.

In fact, every year a teenager remained engaged in regular exercise is associated with improved State of Mind scores in adulthood. Those who stopped exercising before the age of 15 display an average State of Mind score 15% lower than the global average, while a decline in physical activity at 16–17 and before the age of 22 reduced their average scores by 13% and 6% respectively.

Worryingly, the study also uncovered an exercise generation gap, with younger generations being increasingly less active. 57% of the Silent Generation (aged 78+) said they were active daily in their childhoods compared to just 19% of Gen Z (aged 18–27), showing a concerning trend of younger generations dropping out of physical activity earlier and in larger numbers than the generations before them.

Globally, members of Gen Z have the lowest State of Mind scores with an average of 62/100 compared to the Baby Boomers’ 68/100 and the Silent Generation’s 70/100.

Professor Brendon Stubbs, a leading researcher in exercise and mental health from King’s College London, said: “It is worrying to see this decline in activity levels from younger respondents at such a critical age, particularly as the study uncovered an association with lower wellbeing in adulthood”.

Gen Zs across the world are already exhibiting the lowest State of Mind scores (62/100) in comparison to the Silent Generation (70/100), so this could be hugely impactful for future mental wellbeing across the world.”

Tomoko Koda, Managing Executive Officer for ASICS, said: ASICS was founded on the belief that sport and exercise benefit not only the body, but also the mind. It’s why we’re called ASICS: ‘Anima Sana in Corpore Sano’ or ‘Sound Mind in a Sound Body’. The results of our second global State of Mind Study show how important it is that young people stay active and the impact this can have on their minds for years to come. At ASICS, we’re committed to supporting and inspiring people to move for positive mental wellbeing throughout their lifetime.”

Estudo global da ASICS mostra a ligação entre o exercício regular na adolescência e o bem-estar mental positivo na idade adulta

  • Estudo global da ASICS com 26 000 pessoas reafirma a ligação entre o movimento e a mente, e revela uma ligação direta entre a atividade física na adolescência e o bem–estar mental na idade adulta
  • Todos os anos adicionais nos quais um adolescente pratica exercício físico estão associados a melhores avaliações de estado de espírito na idade adulta, sendo as idades entre os 15 e os 17 anos identificadas como os anos mais críticos para se manter ativo
  • No entanto, as gerações mais jovens estão a deixar de fazer exercício mais cedo e em maior número, o que pode afetar o respetivo bem–estar mental agora e nos próximos anos

LONDRES, April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hoje, a ASICS anuncia os resultados do seu segundo estudo Global State of Mind, o qual reafirma uma ligação positiva entre o exercício físico e o bem–estar mental e revela uma ligação entre ser fisicamente ativo na adolescência e o bem–estar mental positivo na idade adulta.

O estudo com mais de 26 000 inquiridos de 22 países concluiu que quanto mais as pessoas praticam exercício físico, mais elevadas são as suas avaliações de estado de espírito1. Em todo o mundo, os inquiridos que são regularmente ativos2 têm uma avaliação média de 67/100 de estado de espírito, enquanto as pessoas inativas3 têm uma avaliação muito inferior de apenas 54/100 de estado de espírito.

Além disso, o estudo revelou que ser fisicamente ativo na adolescência tem um impacto direto na mente numa fase posterior da vida. Os participantes que praticaram exercício físico durante a adolescência apresentam níveis de atividade e avaliações de estado de espírito mais elevados na idade adulta. Os resultados indicam que manter–se ativo na adolescência é fundamental para estabelecer bons hábitos de exercício que perduram na idade adulta e têm um impacto positivo no bem–estar mental dos adultos.

De facto, o estudo conseguiu identificar as idades entre os 15 e os 17 anos como os anos mais críticos para se manter ativo e quando deixar de fazer exercício afeta significativamente o estado mental durante anos. Verificou–se que as pessoas, entre os 15 e os 17 anos de idade, que praticavam regularmente exercício físico tinham mais probabilidades de se manterem ativas mais tarde na vida e de apresentarem avaliações mais elevadas de estado de espírito na idade adulta (64/100 vs. 61/100) do que as que não eram ativas durante estes anos.

Em comparação, os inquiridos que deixaram de fazer exercício antes dos 15 anos apresentaram os níveis de atividade mais baixos e as avaliações mais baixas de estado de espírito na idade adulta. 30% continuam inativos na idade adulta e revelam ser 11% menos concentrados, 10% menos confiantes, 10% menos calmos e 10% menos serenos em comparação com os que fizeram exercício durante a adolescência.

De facto, todos os anos que um adolescente permanece envolvido em exercício regular estão associados a melhores resultados de estado de espírito na idade adulta. As pessoas que deixaram de fazer exercício antes dos 15 anos apresentam uma pontuação média de estado de espírito 15% inferior à média global, enquanto uma diminuição da atividade física entre os 16 e 17 anos e antes dos 22 anos reduziu as avaliações médias em 13% e 6%, respetivamente.

É preocupante que o estudo tenha também revelado um fosso entre gerações no que respeita à prática de exercício físico, sendo as gerações mais jovens cada vez menos ativas. 57% da Geração Silenciosa (com mais de 78 anos) afirmou ter sido ativa diariamente na infância, em comparação com apenas 19% da Geração Z (com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 27 anos), o que revela uma tendência preocupante de as gerações mais jovens abandonarem a atividade física mais cedo e em maior número do que as gerações anteriores.

Globalmente, os membros da Geração Z têm as avaliações mais baixas de estado de espírito, com uma média de 62/100, em comparação com os 68/100 dos Baby Boomers e os 70/100 da Geração Silenciosa.

O Professor Brendon Stubbs, um dos principais investigadores no domínio do exercício físico e da saúde mental do King's College de Londres, afirmou: “É preocupante ver este declínio nos níveis de atividade dos inquiridos mais jovens numa idade tão crítica, especialmente porque o estudo revelou uma associação com um menor bem–estar na idade adulta”.

Por todo o mundo, a Geração Z já está a mostrar as avaliações mais baixas de estado de espírito (62/100) em comparação com a Geração Silenciosa (70/100), pelo que isto poderá ter um enorme impacto no futuro bem–estar mental em todo o mundo.”

Tomoko Koda, Diretor Executivo da ASICS, afirmou: “A ASICS foi fundada com base na crença de que o desporto e o exercício beneficiam não só o corpo, mas também a mente. É por isso que nos chamamos ASICS: “Anima Sana in Corpore Sano” ou “Mente Sã em Corpo São”. Os resultados do nosso segundo estudo global sobre o estado da mente mostram como é importante que os jovens se mantenham ativos e o impacto que isso pode ter nas suas mentes durante anos. Na ASICS, estamos empenhados em apoiar e inspirar as pessoas a movimentarem–se para um bem–estar mental positivo ao longo da sua vida.”

Une étude mondiale menée par ASICS démontre le lien entre la pratique régulière d’une activité physique à l’adolescence et le bien-être mental à l’âge adulte

  • Les réponses des quelque 26 000 personnes interrogées permettent d’établir le rapport entre l’activité physique et mentale, et soulignent le lien direct entre la pratique d’une activité physique à l’adolescence et la sensation de bien–être mental ressentie à l’âge adulte
  • Chaque année supplémentaire de pratique sportive à l’adolescence converge vers l’enregistrement de meilleurs scores à l’âge adulte à l’échelle de l’étude State of Mind (ou État d’esprit) conçue par ASICS, à savoir que la tranche des 15–17 ans est la plus critique en matière d’activité physique pour les jeunes
  • Or, les jeunes générations se détournent de plus en plus de l’exercice plus tôt, ce qui pourrait nuire à leur bien–être mental, aujourd’hui et demain

LONDRES, 09 avr. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ASICS publie ce jour les résultats de sa deuxième étude State of Mind (ou État d’esprit) mondiale, qui confirme le lien positif entre l’exercice physique et le bien–être mental, tout en soulignant le rapport entre l’activité physique pratiquée au cours de l’adolescence et le bien–être mental ressenti à l’âge adulte.

Le périmètre de l’étude concerne plus de 26 000 répondants originaires de 22 pays différents, et les conclusions de l’étude dressent le parallèle entre la pratique physique et l’enregistrement de scores élevés1. Parmi les personnes interrogées à travers le monde, celles pratiquant une activité physique régulière2 affichent un score State of Mind moyen de 67/100, tandis que le score des personnes inactives3 est inférieur et se mesure à 54/100.

L’étude a par ailleurs révélé que le fait d’être physiquement actif à l’adolescence a un effet direct sur l’état d’esprit plus tard dans la vie. Les répondants ayant pratiqué l’exercice tout au long de leur adolescence affichent des niveaux d’activité et des scores State of Mind plus élevés à l’âge adulte. Les résultats démontrent qu’il est essentiel de rester actif à l’adolescence pour prendre de bonnes habitudes en matière d’exercice physique. Celles–ci perdureront à l’âge adulte et auront un effet positif sur le bien–être mental.

En effet, l’étude a permis de déterminer que la tranche des 15–17 ans a le plus de mal à rester active et que l’abandon de l’exercice affectait de manière significative leur future santé mentale. Il a été déterminé que les individus qui pratiquaient une activité physique régulière entre 15 et 17 ans étaient plus susceptibles de rester actifs plus tard dans leur vie et d’enregistrer des scores State of Mind plus élevés à l’âge adulte (64/100 contre 61/100) que les inactifs du même âge.

En données comparées, les répondants ayant cessé de faire de l’exercice avant l’âge de 15 ans ont affiché les niveaux d’activité les plus bas à l’âge adulte, ainsi que les plus médiocres scores. 30 % d’entre eux sont toujours inactifs à l’âge adulte et sont pour 11 % moins concentrés, pour 10 % moins confiants, pour 10 % moins calmes et pour 10 % moins sereins que ceux qui ont pu faire de l’exercice tout au long de l’adolescence.

En effet, chaque année de pratique physique régulière à l’adolescence correspond à un meilleur score à l’échelle de l’étude State of Mind à l’âge adulte. Ceux qui ont cessé de faire de l’exercice avant l’âge de 15 ans affichent un score State of Mind moyen inférieur de 15 % à la moyenne mondiale, tandis qu’une activité physique en recul constatée à 16–17 ans ou avant l’âge de 22 ans ramène leur score moyen de 13 % et de 6 %, respectivement.

Fait inquiétant, l’étude a également mis en évidence un fossé générationnel en matière d’exercice physique, les jeunes générations étant de moins en moins actives. 57 % des membres de la génération silencieuse (ou les plus de 78 ans) ont déclaré avoir pratiqué une activité physique quotidienne dans leur enfance, contre seulement 19 % des membres de la génération Z (âgés de 18 à 27 ans). Ce constat tend vers une tendance préoccupante à l’abandon de l’activité physique par les jeunes générations plus tôt et en plus grand nombre que les générations précédentes.

À l’échelle mondiale, les membres de la génération Z affichent les scores State of Mind les plus bas, avec une moyenne de 62/100, contre 68/100 pour les baby–boomers et 70/100 pour la génération silencieuse.

Pour le professeur Brendon Stubbs, éminent chercheur en matière d’exercice physique et de santé mentale au King’s College de Londres : « Il est inquiétant de constater cette baisse des niveaux d’activité chez les plus jeunes répondants à un âge aussi critique, d’autant plus que l’étude dresse le parallèle avec une santé mentale moindre à l’âge adulte. »

Les membres de la génération Z affichent déjà les scores State of Mind les plus bas (à savoir 62/100) par rapport à la génération silencieuse (à savoir 70/100), ce qui pourrait avoir un effet néfaste considérable sur la santé mentale des adultes de demain dans le monde entier. »

« ASICS a été fondée sur la conviction que le sport et l’activité physique apportent autant de bienfaits corporels que spirituels » remarque Tomoko Koda, Directrice exécutive de ASICS, avant d’ajouter : « ASICS est née de la locution ‘Anima Sana in Corpore Sano’, qui signifie ‘Un esprit sain dans un corps sain’. Les conclusions de notre deuxième étude State of Mind mondiale révèlent à quel point il est primordial que les jeunes restent actifs, et démontrent l’impact potentiel sur leur esprit pour les années à venir. Chez ASICS, nous nous engageons à accompagner les individus et nous les incitons à bouger pour qu’ils puissent maintenir leur santé mentale au beau fixe tout au long de leur vie. »

GLOBENEWSWIRE (Distribution ID 1000933726)

Globale Studie von ASICS weist Zusammenhang zwischen körperlicher Aktivität im Teenageralter und mentalem Wohlbefinden im Erwachsenenalter nach

  • Die globale Studie von ASICS mit 26.000 Teilnehmern bestätigt erneut die positive Verbindung zwischen körperlicher Aktivität und mentalem Wohlbefinden und zeigt einen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen körperlicher Bewegung im Teenageralter und der mentalen Verfassung im Erwachsenenalter auf
  • Jedes zusätzliche Jahr, in dem Teenager sich sportlich betätigen, geht mit einer Verbesserung des State of Mind–Scores im Erwachsenenalter einher. Das Alter zwischen 15–17 Jahren ist dabei besonders entscheidend für die Entwicklung lebenslanger Bewegungsgewohnheiten
  • Die jüngeren Generationen hören jedoch immer früher und häufiger auf, sich regelmäßig körperlich zu betätigen, was sich auf ihr mentales Wohlbefinden jetzt und in Zukunft auswirken könnte

LONDON, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Heute hat ASICS die Ergebnisse seiner zweiten „Global State of Mind“–Studie veröffentlicht, die erneut eine positive Verbindung zwischen körperlicher Aktivität und mentalem Wohlbefinden bestätigt und einen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen körperlicher Bewegung im Teenageralter und der mentalen Verfassung im Erwachsenenalter aufzeigt.

Die Studie mit mehr als 26.000 Teilnehmern aus 22 Ländern ergab: Je aktiver die Menschen sind, desto höher ist ihr State of Mind–Score1. Weltweit haben diejenigen, die regelmäßig aktiv2 sind, einen durchschnittlichen State of Mind–Score von 67/100, während diejenigen, die inaktiv3 sind, mit 54/100 deutlich zurückliegen.

Darüber hinaus hat die Studie aufgedeckt, dass körperliche Aktivität in der Jugend einen direkten Einfluss auf die mentale Verfassung im späteren Leben hat. Teilnehmer, die im Jugendalter regelmäßig Sport getrieben haben, berichten auch im Erwachsenenalter über höhere Aktivitätslevel und State of Mind–Scores. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass es wichtig ist, als Teenager aktiv zu bleiben, um gute Bewegungsgewohnheiten zu entwickeln, die bis ins Erwachsenenalter anhalten und sich positiv auf das mentale Wohlbefinden auswirken.

Tatsächlich konnte die Studie nachweisen, dass das Alter zwischen 15–17 Jahren als das kritischste gilt, wenn es darum geht, aktiv zu bleiben. Ein Verzicht auf Sport in diesem Alter kann die mentale Gesundheit über Jahre erheblich beeinträchtigen. Diejenigen, die im Alter von 15–17 Jahren regelmäßig Sport getrieben haben, berichten auch im Erwachsenenalter über höhere State of Mind–Scores (64/100) als diejenigen, die nicht aktiv waren (61/100).

Im Vergleich dazu haben diejenigen, die vor ihrem 15. Lebensjahr mit dem Sport aufgehört haben, im Erwachsenenalter die niedrigsten Aktivitätslevels und die niedrigsten State of Mind–Scores. 30 % sind als Erwachsene immer noch inaktiv und berichten, dass sie im Vergleich zu denen, die während ihrer Jugendzeit Sport getrieben haben, um 11 % weniger konzentriert, 10 % weniger selbstsicher, 10 % weniger gelassen und 10 % weniger ausgeglichen sind.

Tatsächlich war jedes zusätzliche Jahr, in dem ein Teenager sich sportlich betätigte, mit einem verbesserten State of Mind–Score im Erwachsenenalter verbunden. Diejenigen, die vor ihrem 15. Lebensjahr aufgehört haben, Sport zu treiben, haben im Durchschnitt einen um 15 % niedrigeren State of Mind–Score als der globale Durchschnitt. Ein Rückgang der körperlichen Aktivität im Alter von 16–17 Jahren und vor dem 22. Lebensjahr reduzierte ihre durchschnittlichen Werte um 13 % bzw. 6 %.

Besorgniserregend ist, dass die Studie auch eine wachsende Kluft zwischen den Generationen in Bezug auf die sportliche Aktivität aufzeigt, wobei die jüngeren Generationen immer weniger aktiv sind. 57 % der stillen Generation (78+ Jahre) waren in ihrer Kindheit täglich aktiv, im Vergleich zu nur 19 % der Gen Z (18–27 Jahre). Dieser besorgniserregende Trend zeigt, dass mit jeder Generation junge Menschen früher und in größerer Zahl als je zuvor mit dem Sport aufhören.

Weltweit schneidet die Gen Z mit einem durchschnittlichen State of Mind–Score von 62/100 am schlechtesten ab, während die Baby Boomer 68/100 erreichen und die stille Generation mit 70/100 am besten abschneidet.

Professor Brendon Stubbs, führender Forscher auf dem Gebiet Bewegung und mentales Wohlbefinden am King's College in London sagt dazu: „Es ist beunruhigend, dass wir bei jüngeren Menschen in einem so wichtigen Lebensabschnitt einen Rückgang des Aktivitätslevels feststellen, besonders weil die Studie gezeigt hat, dass dies mit einem schlechteren Wohlbefinden im Erwachsenenalter zusammenhängt.

Die Gen Z auf der ganzen Welt hat bereits den niedrigsten State of Mind–Score (62/100) im Vergleich zur stillen Generation (70/100). Das könnte sich enorm auf das zukünftige mentale Wohlbefinden weltweit auswirken.“

Tomoko Koda, Managing Executive Officer für ASICS, dazu: „ASICS wurde aus der Überzeugung heraus gegründet, dass Sport und Bewegung nicht nur dem Körper, sondern auch dem Geist gut tun. Deshalb werden wir ASICS genannt: 'Anima Sana in Corpore Sano' oder 'Gesunder Geist in einem gesunden Körper'. Die Ergebnisse unserer zweiten „Global State of Mind“–Studie zeigen, wie wichtig es ist, dass junge Menschen aktiv bleiben und welchen Einfluss dies auf ihre geistige Gesundheit in den kommenden Jahren haben kann. Bei ASICS ist es unser Ziel, Menschen dabei zu unterstützen und zu inspirieren, sich für ein positives geistiges Wohlbefinden ein Leben lang zu bewegen.“

ThreatLocker® Unveils New Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service with the World

Orlando, FL, April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ThreatLocker®, a pioneer in least privilege endpoint protection technologies, announced the launch of their MDR service with the Cyber Hero Team at Zero Trust World 2024. 

“I'm elated about the ThreatLocker® Cyber Hero managed detection and response service,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO & Co–Founder of ThreatLocker®. 

“Not only will this provide customers with a faster response when they don't have 24–hour operation centers, but it also means that we are improving our product in a way that allows us to be responsible for so many customers and the management of their environments.”  

ThreatLocker® understands the importance of preemptively blocking cybersecurity threats with a default deny baseline. Adding detection and response capabilities allows customers to stay secure while alerting them of suspicious or potentially malicious activity happening in their environment.  

Products including Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, and Network Control in the ThreatLocker® Endpoint Protection Platform block attempted bad actions on a device, and ThreatLocker® Detect (formerly known as ThreatLocker® Ops) will alert organizations of said attempts. The MDR service is made possible by the near–instant response of the ThreatLocker® Cyber Hero Team when they directly notify a customer of a malicious attempt and ensure the security of their infrastructure.  

In addition to providing a prompt notification via the Cyber Hero Support Team, ThreatLocker® Detect policies can be curated to completely isolate a machine from the rest of the environment or go as far as implementing an advanced lockdown to stop all software and network traffic from running. 

In a live demonstration at Zero Trust World 2024, ThreatLocker® showcased the response speed of the Cyber Hero Team in locking down a machine after an attacker connected to a remote server, tried to run IP Scanning tools, and attempted to disable security tools.   

The attacker was challenged with a QR code. When they didn't respond and continued taking additional bad actions, such as attempting to disable ThreatLocker® service, the attacker's attempts were thwarted with ThreatLocker® default deny, and the machine was locked down. The Cyber Heroes responded within a minute during the live presentation.   

The new additions by ThreatLocker® satisfy cyber insurance regulations on implementing Zero Trust MDR strategies to prevent modern–day attacks.  

ThreatLocker® will roll out its new products to new and existing partners. It currently protects over one million endpoints globally.
