While this may seem like common sense to many - &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/reason-kids-play-outdoors-208666.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;getting out and about&#60;/a&#62; will improve your mood and mental wellbeing, where&#8217;s the news in that? - the results have been confirmed by a study conducted by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and published in the journal Pediatrics this month.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p class=&#34;p1&#34;&#62;To reach this conclusion, the researchers did their study on 795 children aged 6 to 10 years. Using accelerometers (sensors for measuring the intensity of activity), they assessed their physical activity, and then surveyed their parents about their children&#8217;s mental health.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2 class=&#34;p2&#34;&#62; &#60;span&#62;Results from the study&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p class=&#34;p1&#34;&#62;At the end of the observation period, it was found that children who were particularly active between 6 and 8 years had fewer signs of depression at the age of 10.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p class=&#34;p1&#34;&#62;&#8220;&#60;em&#62;This is an important finding suggesting that physical activity can be used to prevent and treat depression already in childhood&#60;/em&#62;,&#8221; says Silje Steinsbekk, associate professor in the psychology department at NTNU.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p class=&#34;p1&#34;&#62;Nevertheless, the he added that the results should be further investigated and tested in randomised studies.
