Implication

Observational analysis identifies how team sports enhance social support and individual sports improve self-efficacy in adolescents, indicating gendered pathways.

Key Points

Team sports significantly enhance social support for adolescents, and individual sports improve self-efficacy, both positively impacting psychological resilience.
Social support and self-efficacy mediate the relationship between physical activity and psychological resilience, with distinct pathways for each sport type.
Gender moderates these pathways, with females showing greater benefits from emotion regulation in team sports and males benefiting more from self-efficacy.
These findings suggest the need for tailored, gender-sensitive interventions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to exercise recommendations.
