Promoting resiliency in adolescent girls through adventure education
A mountain biking programme was linked to small but consistently higher resilience in 87 adolescent girls, which persisted over time.
What's new
This study examined whether an adventure mountain biking programme increased the resiliency of 87 adolescent girls. Pre and post test self-reporting using the Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents showed small but consistently higher levels of resilience afterwards, and socioeconomic status made no difference to the results. Long-term results indicate the increases persist.
