To find these results, more than 26,000 people across 22 countries including the UK were asked about their exercise levels as teens and their mental health today.
It's the second Global State of Mind Study run by ASICS, and it found that people in the UK who are regularly active have a score of 61/100, while those who are largely inactive score just 54/100.
Overall, Brits scored lower than other countries, as the global average from the survey was 65/100. In fact, Brits came 17th out of 22 countries, and the study found that just 55% of us exercise regularly.
