Abstract
Background:Many bodies of research have shown that stressing our physical muscles through physical activity is one way to increase our capacity to cope with daily stress, which proves that physical activity can predict resilience, while there have been many barriers that affect students to be physically active to promote resilience for their academic success and overall well-being. This systematic review is conducted by looking at the term, the underlined inter-promoted relationship between resilience and physical activity among students, and some barriers hindering students' physical activity for promotion of resilience and ways to solve them. Objective: This systematic review aimed to provide the underlined inter-promoted relationship between physical activity and resilience among students by exploring the barriers to physical activity that promotes resilience, putting out measures to solve the problems, and promote physical activity in sports clubs and school environments. Methods: Employing a narrative review approach, fo 0ur electronic abstract databases will be searched (Pub-Med, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Pro-quest). The focus was to identify related reviewed studies where physical activity shows an underlined inter-promoted relationship and putting out other measures to solve problems. Results:The research yielded 26,900 potential papers, of which "14" supporting evidence papers remained after duplicates, titles, abstracts, and full papers were screened and excluded based on the targeted population see figure 1. There was positive and significant relationship between resilience and (PA). Participation of (PA) was significantly predators of resilience. Physical activity level, resilience with respect to gender, department and licensed sports participation status was significant, while vigorous physical activity can predict resilience, and the more students engage in physical activity, the higher their resilience level. Resilience can mediate the barriers to physical activity and being active. There was a negative relationship between barriers to physical activity and resilience, a significant positive relationship between resilience and physical activity, and a significant direct negative link between barriers to physical activity and physical activity. Conclusion: The evidence base regarding the underlined inter-promoted relationship between physical activity and resilience among students are limited because one study demonstrated and recorded to be with no methodological bias, while the rest of the evidence studies were found to be of convenience, cross-sectional, descriptive statistic, cluster, random paper pencil, online survey questionnaire sampling methods which might have a trait of bias. As the quality of included studies will undoubtedly impact the reliability of this study. More high studies are needed to respond to students physical activity for the promotion of resilience and their overall well-being.
