Abstract
Mental health disorders are a threat to adolescents. This is because mental health symptoms appear since adolescence and are vulnerable to more severe risks such as depression, stress, and even suicide. Physical activity interventions that are suitable for the character of adolescents have the potential to reduce the negative impact on adolescent mental health. This article aims to analyze the effect of physical activity on adolescents^ mental health in Indonesia. This research is a literature review using the PRISMA diagram method. The articles used were sourced from several SINTA and Scopus-indexed scientific journals. The review results obtained eight articles that are relevant to the inclusion criteria and the accuracy of the research study. There are five articles that state the relationship between physical activity and mental health, and three other research articles state there is no relationship between physical activity and mental health in adolescents. Physical activity can affect mental health, emotional intelligence, depression, stress, and anxiety experienced by adolescents. However, there are some factors in physical activity that do not affect mental health. Therefore, future studies need to use mixed methods and pay attention to moderator variables in order to obtain more accurate research results.
