Apart from the well-known advantages for physical health, physical activity also improves mental health. Physically inactive people are more likely to get sick and spend more money on medical care, according to studies. In order to treat these problems and advance mental health, exercise therapy is frequently advised. Physical activity has been shown to positively correlate with a number of mental health traits. Exercise has been shown to dramatically enhance body image and self-concept in nonclinical contexts. The present knowledge of the physiological and psychological mechanisms via which exercise improves mental health is examined in this review article. It has been demonstrated that regular exercise enhances the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis's performance. Although exercise seems to affect anxiety and sadness, its effects are often less noticeable in the general population than in clinical patients. The connection between mental health and physical fitness is the subject of several hypotheses. Exercise has also been shown to improve sleep quality and ease some mental health issues. In general, exercise is linked to improved mood and a higher standard of living. Additionally, yoga and physical activity can help manage urges for substances, especially for those who don't have access to other types of rehabilitation. With an emphasis on the link between exercise and mood, this article gives a general review of the relationship between physical activity and mental health.
