    Abstract Background: Understanding how to improve mental health literacy is conducive to maintaining and promoting individuals’ mental health and well-being. However, to date, interventions for mental health literacy primarily depend on traditional education and contact interventions, which have limitations with regard to pertinence and individualization.

    Ye Hoon Lee1, Yonghyun Park2,3, Hyungsook Kim2,3,*
    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2024.051773
    Abstract Regular physical activity (PA) is known to enhance multifaceted health benefits, including both physical and mental health. However, traditional in-person physical activity programs have drawbacks, including time constraints for busy people. Although evidence suggests positive impacts on mental health through mobile-based physical activity, effects of accumulated short bouts of physical activity using mobile devices are unexplored. Thus, this study aims to investigate these effects, focusing on depression, perceived stress, and negative affectivity among South Korean college students. Forty-six healthy college students were divided into the accumulated group (n = 23, female = 47.8%) and control… More >
