ABSTRACT

Adolescents are physically and physiologically close to adults, with gradually improving bodily functions. However, their psychological development tends to lag behind, making them more prone to anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders when facing stress. Ball sports have a significant positive impact on adolescent mental health, with different types of ball sports exerting varying psychological effects. Individual ball sports, characterized by independence and low social interaction, can effectively enhance adolescents' focus and mental strength. In contrast, team ball sports, with their diversity, complexity, and greater social engagement, provide more enjoyment and stress relief. This paper aims to analyze the impact of different ball sports on alleviating adolescent psychological disorders, offering a theoretical basis for promoting the broader application of ball sports in adolescent mental health interventions.
