A study led by University of Queensland researchers has found children who regularly participate in sports from an early age will have better long term mental health.

Associate Professor Asad Khan from UQ's School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences led the study, which analyzed the data of more than 4,200 Australian children over an eight-year period from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children.

We found there was a positive impact on mental health regardless of the type of sport, however children who played in a team experienced greater benefit.
