ASICS believes everyone should be able to experience the positive physical and mental benefits of exercise.
In 2024, we launched our second Global State of Mind Index (SOMI) Study, surveying over 26,000 people across 22 countries. The study explored the relationship between exercise levels and people's state of mind across the world.
The State of Mind score is calculated out of 100, based on the cumulative mean scores across ten cognitive and emotional traits.
The study found a positive link between physical activity levels and mental wellbeing throughout people’s lifetimes.
On April 9th, 2024, ASICS publicly shared the study results across the world.
