AB  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of physical 
      activity (in both descriptive and intervention studies) on health-related quality 
      of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents from both healthy and chronic illness 
      populations. METHOD: A systematic review of PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest 
      identified 33 studies of physical activity and HRQOL in youth, including 
      descriptive and prepost intervention designs. RESULTS: In descriptive studies (N 
      = 14), there was a small, positive association between physical activity and 
      HRQOL based on child-reports (Hedges' g = .302, p < .001, 95% confidence 
      interval, CI [.178, .426]) and a negligible association based on parent-proxy 
      reports (Hedges' g = .115, p = .101, 95% CI [-.023, .253]). Intervention studies 
      (N = 19) yielded a small, positive effect of physical activity intervention on 
      HRQOL based on child-reports (Hedges' g = .279, p = .014, 95% CI [.057, .500]) 
      and a medium, positive effect based on parent-proxy reports (Hedges' g = .522, p 
      = .012, 95% CI [.117, .928]). Intervention effects were attenuated by removal of 
      a single study. Hypothesized and exploratory moderators did not moderate the 
      relationship between physical activity and HRQOL. CONCLUSIONS: Findings supported 
      the primary hypothesis that physical activity was related to better HRQOL in 
      youth, although the magnitude of these effects did not represent a minimal 
      clinically important difference (MCID) in most studies. Future studies are needed 
      to assess HRQOL in youth before and after exercise interventions to quantify the 
      type, frequency, duration, and intensity of physical activity needed to change 
      HRQOL. (PsycINFO Database Record
