Abstract: (20 Views)
The study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on self-esteem and mental health of adolescent girls in orphanages in Mashhad. This quasi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest with a control group. The participants included 30 adolescent girls from orphanages, aged 17 to 25, who voluntarily participated in the research. Aerobic exercises were performed for 8 weeks, three 45-minute sessions per week. Shapiro-Wilk, ANCOVA, and Sidak tests were used to analyze the data. The results showed that aerobic exercise has a significant effect on increasing self-esteem and improving mental health of adolescent girls in orphanages. These findings indicate that aerobic exercise as an effective intervention can help improve mental health and self-esteem in vulnerable groups such as adolescents in orphanages. The findings are also consistent with previous domestic and international research and emphasize the importance of including physical activity in adolescent support and empowerment programs.
