Maybe of interest for you?!

Meta-analysis on sport-based intervention in non-elite sport looking at mental health outcomes and mental health literacy.

Small effects were found for anxiety, stress, wellbeing, moderate-to-strong effects for stigmatizing attitudes, knowledge and help-provision. No significant effects for depression.

However, interventions are very diverse, which makes it difficult to draw far-reaching conclusions.
