Across the globe, respondents who are regularly active<sup>2<\/sup> have an average State of Mind score of 67\/100, while inactive<sup>3<\/sup> people have a much lower State of Mind score of just 54\/100.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the study uncovered that being physically active in your teenage years directly impacts your mind later in life. Participants who engaged in exercise throughout their adolescence report higher activity levels and State of Mind scores as adults. The findings indicate that remaining active as a teenager is key to establishing good exercise habits that last into adulthood and positively impact adult mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the study was able to pinpoint the<strong> ages of 15-17 as the most critical years for staying active<\/strong> and when dropping out of exercise significantly affects your mental state for years to come. Those who regularly exercised at 15-17 years old are found to be more likely to remain active later in life and report higher State of Mind scores as adults (64\/100 vs 61\/100) than those who weren\u2019t active during these years.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, respondents who dropped out of exercise before the age of 15 displayed the lowest activity levels and lowest State of Mind scores in adulthood. 30% are still inactive as adults and they are shown to be <strong>11% less focused, 10% less confident, 10% less calm and 10% less composed<\/strong> compared to those who were able to exercise throughout adolescence.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, every year a teenager remained engaged in regular exercise is associated with improved State of Mind scores in adulthood.\u00a0Those who stopped exercising before the age of 15 display an average State of Mind score 15% lower than the global average, while a decline in physical activity at 16-17 and before the age of 22 reduced their average scores by 13% and 6% respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Worryingly, the study also uncovered an exercise generation gap, with younger generations being increasingly less active. <strong>57% of the Silent Generation (aged 78+) said they were active daily in their childhoods compared to just 19% of Gen Z (aged 18-27)<\/strong>, showing a concerning trend of younger generations dropping out of physical activity earlier and in larger numbers than the generations before them.<\/p>\n<p>Globally, members of Gen Z have the lowest State of Mind scores with an average of 62\/100 compared to the Baby Boomers\u2019 68\/100 and the Silent Generation\u2019s 70\/100.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Brendon Stubbs, a leading researcher in exercise and mental health from King\u2019s College London, said: <em>\u201cIt is worrying to see this decline in activity levels from younger respondents at such a critical age, particularly as the study uncovered an association with lower wellbeing in adulthood\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Gen Zs across the world are already exhibiting the lowest State of Mind scores (62\/100) in comparison to the Silent Generation (70\/100), so this could be hugely impactful for future mental wellbeing across the world<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomoko Koda, Managing Executive Officer for ASICS, said: <em>\u201c<\/em><em>ASICS was founded on the belief that sport and exercise benefit not only the body, but also the mind. It\u2019s why we\u2019re called ASICS: \u2018Anima Sana in Corpore Sano\u2019 or \u2018Sound Mind in a Sound Body\u2019. The results of our second global State of Mind Study show how important it is that young people stay active and the impact this can have on their minds for years to come. At ASICS, we\u2019re committed to supporting and inspiring people to move for positive mental wellbeing throughout their lifetime.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To find out more visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data%3DxIyl7e06RdTEezeUkbeKgdVw4WoJdibfPl010_it3GX8L6uUVCiRARia8rNp4fMOD6alUGAV69bVnFVUeiE3UOjdmPWl8KobhelDEuKpaJ9QuGwnWr7t7HK2oAMBKI78iw39cvtaGWWvkPrIjdf8TfrGPb9JdN_p-QSKIGGdWhrPpKXtYo3yqDyi-bzgclLK&amp;source=gmail-html&amp;ust=1712726487183000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29CVup6cV_3nxDJ3MGlk2k\"  rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.asics.com\/us\/en-<wbr \/>us\/mk\/stateofmindstudy2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTES FOR EDITOR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><u>About the ASICS 2024 State of Mind Study<\/u><br \/>\nThe 2024 State of Mind Study was conducted between 17 November \u2013 21 December 2023 and explored the relationship between exercise and State of Mind across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Over 26,000 people were surveyed across 22 markets including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, UAE, the UK and the US.\u00a0Each market sample was nationally representative by age and gender.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup>The ASICS State of Mind score is out of 100, calculated based on the accumulative mean scores across ten cognitive and emotional traits \u2013 positive, content, relaxed, focused, composed, resilient, confident, alert, calm, energized.<\/p>\n<p><sup>2<\/sup>150 minutes or more of physical activity per week (as defined by Sport England).<\/p>\n<p><sup>3<\/sup>Less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week (as defined by Sport England).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, meaning \u201cA Sound Mind in a Sound Body,\u201d is an old Latin phrase from which ASICS is\u00a0derived and the fundamental platform on which the brand still stands.
