Background and Aim: Sports and physical activities, as one of the active activities in this machine world, have easily been able to positively affect the physical and mental health of individuals. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating gender differences in life satisfaction, self-management behaviors, and emotional maturity in adolescent athletes.
Method: The present study was of an applied, quantitative type in terms of its purpose, and of a causal comparative type in terms of statistical analysis. The study population was adolescent male and female athletes in Shiraz in 1403 who were active in sports clubs, including fitness, aerobics, tennis, and yoga clubs. The sample consisted of 50 adolescent male athletes and 50 adolescent female athletes who were selected using purposive sampling.The measurement tools included the Life Satisfaction Scale (Diener et al., 1985), the Self-Management Questionnaire (Bouffard et al., 1995), and the Emotional Maturity Scale (Singh & BhargaQa, 1990). The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS version 28. Multivariate analysis of variance test was also used to examine the research hypotheses
Findings: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the dimensions of cognitive strategy, life satisfaction, and emotional maturity of the two groups, and according to the means of the two groups in the descriptive section, it was determined that the cognitive strategy of self-management was significantly higher in male athletes than in female athletes. However, the average of life satisfaction and emotional maturity in male athletes was significantly lower than in female athletes. The results also showed that there was no significant difference between the metacognitive strategy of the two groups.
Conclusion: Regular exercise can have a very positive impact on depression, anxiety, and more. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps athletes sleep better, and boosts athletes' overall mental health.
