چکیده
هدف این مطالعه بررسی تأثیر مداخلات ورزشی بر کاهش رفتارهای پرخاشگرانه و شناخت سازوکارهای زیستی، عصبی و روانی-اجتماعی مرتبط با این فرآیند بود. پژوهش به صورت مرور سیستماتیک و تحلیل مطالعات منتخب انجام شد که عمدتاً به بررسی ورزش‌های هوازی با شدت متوسط تا بالا و تأثیرات آن‌ها بر شاخص‌های هورمونی، تغییرات نوروساختاری و پیامدهای روانی-اجتماعی می‌پرداخت. یافته‌ها نشان داد که ورزش منظم موجب کاهش سطح کورتیزول و تعدیل نسبت تستوسترون می‌شود و در عین حال افزایش ترشح اندورفین و بهبود عملکرد سیستم سروتونرژیک به کاهش تحریک‌پذیری و تکانشگری کمک می‌کند. همچنین ورزش منظم موجب افزایش نوروپلاستیسیتی، بالا رفتن سطح فاکتور نوروتروفیک مشتق از مغز (BDNF) و افزایش حجم هیپوکامپ است که بهبود قابل توجهی در عملکرد قشر پیش‌پیشانی به دنبال دارد و این فرآیندها به تنظیم رفتارهای تکانشی و کنترل بازداری پاسخ کمک می‌کنند. در بعد روانی-اجتماعی، ورزش‌های گروهی علاوه بر اثرات زیستی، با تقویت حمایت اجتماعی، افزایش خودکارآمدی و ارتقای مهارت‌های حل تعارض، زمینه‌ساز کاهش پایدار رفتارهای پرخاشگرانه می‌شوند. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهند که مداخلات ورزشی چندبعدی می‌توانند نقش مؤثری در کاهش پرخاشگری و ارتقای سلامت روان ایفا کنند و بستر مناسبی برای طراحی برنامه‌های درمانی و اصلاحی فراهم آورند.

چکیده English

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise interventions on reducing aggressive behaviors and to understand the associated biological, neural, and psychosocial mechanisms. Conducted as a systematic review and analysis of selected studies, primarily focusing on moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise, the research examined hormonal markers, neurostructural changes, and psychosocial outcomes related to aggression. Findings revealed that regular exercise reduces cortisol levels and modulates testosterone ratio, while increasing endorphin secretion and enhancing serotonergic function, which collectively contribute to decreased irritability and impulsivity. Furthermore, regular exercise promotes neuroplasticity, elevates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, and increases hippocampal volume, leading to significant improvements in prefrontal cortex function, crucial for impulse regulation and response inhibition. Psychosocially, group exercises strengthen social support, enhance self-efficacy, and improve conflict resolution skills, fostering sustained reduction in aggressive behaviors. These results indicate that multidimensional exercise interventions have a significant role in aggression reduction and mental health promotion, providing a strong foundation for developing therapeutic and rehabilitative programs.
