TL;DR
It is concluded that emotional wellbeing is positively associated with extent of participation in sport and vigorous recreational activity among adolescents, consistent with experimental evidence that vigorous exercise has favourable effects on emotional state.

We conclude that emotional wellbeing is positively associated with extent of participation in sport and vigorous recreational activity among adolescents. Although causal associations cannot be assumed in this cross-sectional analysis, our results are consistent with experimental evidence that vigorous exercise has favourable effects on emotional state.
