| description | The growth seen in the number of addictive behaviours related to substance and drug use among adolescents has become one of society’s major problems. Several research studies have tried to find answers to this problem, highlighting the potential of physical activity as a prevention method for substance abuse. The aims of this study were (1) to conduct a systematic review analysing the effects of physical activity, exercise or sports-based interventions on substance use among young people and adolescents and (2) to describe and analyse these interventions. To this end, the guidelines of the PRISMA Declaration were followed, and six databases were searched: PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), PsycINFO, ERIC, SPORTDiscus, and SCOPUS. After screening and meeting the proposed eligibility criteria, a total of 10 articles were included. The results provided scientific evidence of the benefits of physical activity in preventing and reducing substance use, most significantly in interventions based on yoga and structured physical activity. |
