Health Effects of Adolescents Participating in Sports Interest Classes
Based on the survey data from the adolescent health theme database,OLS regression,instrumental variable method and mediating effect test are used to empirically examine the effects and mechanisms of participating in sports interest classes on adoles-cent health from three dimensions:physical health,mental health and self-assessed health.The paper finds that adolescents'partici-pation in sports interest classes has a health effect,which is reflected in the fact that participation in sports interest classes has a sig-nificant positive effect on adolescents'physical health scores and self-assessed health,and a significant negative effect on the self-as-sessed scores of psychiatric symptoms;the mediating mechanism test finds that participation in sports interest classes improves ado-lescents'physical health scores and self-assessed health scores,and reduces adolescents'self-assessed scores of psychiatric symp-toms through the promotion of adolescents'participation in extracurricular physical activities.Heterogeneity analysis finds that there are no gender and urban-rural differences in the impact of participating in sports interest classes on adolescents'health,but the effect of participating in sports interest classes on improving the physical health scores of junior high school students is more obvious,and the effect of improving the self-assessed health scores of senior high school students is more obvious.
