Teenagers usually experience high levels of stress and depression owing to various reasons. Sometimes the stress and depression brings maladjustment in school life and some students commit a suicide. The previous study revealed that laughing is negatively correlated to stress and depression. Therefore, it is meaningful to see if laughing exercise which is a big issue in Korean society has an positive impact on the decrease of teenagers' stress and depression. The study was conducted with experimental group and controlled group. The subjects are all middle school students in south Korea. After conducting pretest for two groups, the laughing exercise was done for only experimental group for a month, 8 hours in total. The result showed that the laughing exercise was effective for teenagers' stress(p<.05) and depression(p<.01). More specifically, the laughing exercise had a effect on the negative attitude(p<.01) and difficulty in performance(p<.05) which are all sub-factors of depression. However, the effect of laughing exercise was different across the sub-factors of stress. The laughing exercise had a positive effect on the decrease of stress which comes from the family life(p<.001) and interpersonal relationships(p<.05). On the contrary, the laughing exercise had no effect on stress in school life(p<.25) and self-originated stress(p<.27).

현대사회에 있어서 신체활동 연구의 주요 탐구과제는 ‘신체활동을 통한 교육’으로부터 ‘인간의 기본적인 움직임’을 목표로 하는 스포츠적인 움직임을 중심으로 한 생명 활동의 개념으로 급속히 변화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 환경변화에 대응하기 위하여 본학회는 ‘체육’적인 요소에서 ‘스포츠’적인 요소를 중심으로 한 학문적 정체성을 견고히 하고, 정기적인 학술지 발간과 학술활동을 통해 한국스포츠츠 문화의 발전과 학문적인 발전에 기여하는데 그 목적이 있다.
