Pierre Philippe Wilson REGISTE had the opportunity to present his doctoral research at the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology (SCAPPS) annual conference in Prince Edward Island from October 2–4. Based on data from the MATCH Study, his presentation explored how the timing and consistency of physical activity during adolescence are associated with mental health outcomes in early adulthood.

🔍 Key takeaway: Sustained physical activity—especially in late adolescence—can support better mental health in early adulthood. Given today’s context, interventions that boost physical activity in late adolescence may help foster better mental health later in life.
