The research examined the effects of a 6-week cycling program in the US schools and found significant mental health benefits for students. 刷外刊 返回目录 6 The study involved over 1,200 students aged 11 to 14 who participated in a program called Ride for Focus, run by the nonprofit organisation Outride. Students attended cycling classes at least three days a week for six weeks, learning safety and manoeuvring （操纵） skills while enjoying the outdoor physical activity. Before and after the program, students completed questionnaires to measure their well-being. “We saw mental health benefits across the entire population,” said Sean Wilson, the study’s senior author. “The main outcome was a more positive outlook on life.” Exercise, including cycling, is known to improve mental health, and middle school is a critical time for such interventions （干预）, as students often face social pressures, anxiety, and stress. 刷外刊 返回目录 7 Esther Walker, a program manager at Outride, highlighted the social and physical benefits of cycling.“Riding with peers in a safe setting is important for adolescents （青少年）,” she said. “It provides an outlet for stress and promotes physical activity.” Dr Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University, noted that cycling engages many brain functions, such as sensory perception, balance, and navigation. “It’s also often a group activity, which adds social benefits,” he said. While exercise is not a cure-all, it is a powerful tool for mental health. 刷外刊 返回目录 8 The study also found that students who limited screen time and got adequate sleep saw greater improvements in well-being. Although girls reported increased well-being after the program, their gains were smaller compared to boys. Overall, the study suggests that cycling programs in schools can be a valuable addition to physical education, offering both mental and physical health benefits to adolescents. 阅读理解·语篇导读 本文通过研究说明了骑行对中学生的好处。 刷外刊 返回目录 9 1. 写作手法 How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?( ) C A.By listing statistics about mental health.
