摘　　要：Background:In contemporary society,it has been widely witnessed that a surprising number of adolescents suffer emotional and mental health problems,and such turmoil is very often carried over into adulthood with serious implications for adjustment during the post-adolescent years.The purpose of the current study is to investigate the associations of physical activity with self-esteem,depression,and suicidal ideation.In addition,this study examined whether self-esteem and depression mediate the relationship between physical activity and suicide ideation in adolescents.Methods:The study participants were 946(male:527,female:419)who attended junior high and high schools in Seoul,Korea.The self-esteem scale,leisure time physical activity scale,the self-rating depression scale,and the suicide ideation scale were used to identify adolescents’mental health and physical activity.Descriptive analysis,correlation analysis,and Structural Equation Modeling were conducted to test the study hypothesis.Results:Results indicated that physical activity was significantly correlated with depression,self-esteem,and suicide ideation.Based on each variable’s correlations,the finding revealed that physical activity was significantly associated with self-esteem,depression,and suicide ideation.In addition,depression and self-esteem had significant mediating effects on the relationship between physical activity and suicide ideation.Conclusion:The study suggests that the suicide prevention intervention should incorporate physical activity involvement with self-esteem and depression to strengthen the protective combined effect of the intervention on suicide ideation and suicide attempts.
