Regular exercise may help decrease violent behaviour among adolescent girls, according to a new study.
Researchers from Columbia University analysed results of a 2008 survey completed by 1,312 students at four inner-city high schools in New York to determine if there was an association between regular exercise and violence-related behaviours.
The survey included questions on how often students exercised, how many sit-ups they did and the time of their longest run in the past four weeks as well as whether they played on an organised sports team in the past year.
Students were also asked if they had carried a weapon in the past 30 days or if they were in a physical fight or in a gang in the past year.
Nearly three-quarters of the respondents were Latino, and 19 per cent were black. Fifty-six per cent were female.
