Zusammenfassung:This article examines the relationship between vigorous physical activity and psychologic distress (by using the General Health Questionnaire-12) among a sample of 2,104 adolescents. Multiple regression analysis revealed a differential relationship between physical activity and dimensions of the General Health Questionnaire-12. Specifically, vigorous physical activity was related significantly to problems with social functioning but not to depression or anxiety.
