精神疾病占全球疾病负担总额的13%，据预测，到2030年，仅抑郁症就将成为全球疾病负担的主要原因。精神健康状况不佳始终与贫困、低收入、失业、教育水平低下、身体健康状况较差和健康风险行为增加有关。大量的研究调查了体育活动和心理健康之间的关系；然而，据作者所知，社区范围内基于游戏化的身体活动干预对心理健康的影响还有待探索。鉴于这种关注的缺乏，目前的研究调查了社区范围内基于游戏化的干预前后身体活动与心理健康之间的关系。研究结果显示，在干预之前，最不活跃的人的心理健康水平显著提高，并且观察到身体活动的增加与心理健康水平的提高之间存在强烈的正相关关系。
Mental ill health accounts for 13 per cent of total global disease burden with predictions that depression alone will be the leading cause of disease burden globally by 2030. Poor mental health is consistently associated with deprivation, low income, unemployment, poor education, poorer physical health and increased health-risk behaviour. A plethora of research has examined the relationship between physical activity and mental wellbeing; however, the influence of community-wide gamification-based physical activity interventions on mental wellbeing, to the authors’ knowledge, is yet to be explored. In view of this paucity of attention, the current study examined the relationship between physical activity and mental wellbeing pre/post a community-wide, gamification-based intervention. The findings revealed that increases in mental wellbeing were significantly greater for the least active prior to the intervention, and a strong, positive correlation between increase in physical activity and increase in mental wellbeing was observed.
