"My dad keeps saying getting enough exercise will cure depression, but I genuinely find exercising agonizing." said 17-year-old Shen Mo. Chen Chao, Medical Doctor at Peking University Sixth Hospital, pointed out that not all teenagers are suitable for exercise, as many adolescents with emotional issues also have relatively weak physical fitness. “If physical discomfort occurs during exercise, they should stop promptly. Activities such as teamwork may provide positive and encouraging feedback."said Chen Chao.
