Presents a study which aims to conduct a systematic review and meta analysis to examine the effects of physical activity interventions on posttraumatic growth after a traumatic event. The authors also examined the potential moderators of the intervention's effectiveness, including intervention characteristics, methodological characteristics, and participant characteristics. The planning and implementation of this systematic review and meta-analysis was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The authors conducted a comprehensive search of six databases (CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) to identify articles on physical activity interventions and posttraumatic growth. They used both Medical Subject Headings and key terms to maximize the retrieval of relevant articles. This study synthesized the current evidence for the effects of physical activity interventions on posttraumatic growth. Physical activity interventions have a small-to-medium postive effect on posttraumatic growth. As an alternative or supplement to psychosocial interventions, physical activity may serve as a beneficial approach for facilitating posttraumatic growth. Further research should prioritize randomized controlled trial designs and investigate various types of physical activity in both medical and non-medical contexts.
