New research provides details on which forms of exercise are most effective for depression.
New research provides details on which forms of exercise are most effective.. Approximately 8 percent of U.S. adults – some 21 million people – have a major depressive disorder each year. For people under age 18, depression is the most common cause of hospitalization.
Although light exercise, such as walking or hatha yoga, was still clinically meaningful, more vigorous exercise such as running or interval training was more effective at alleviating depression symptoms.of the participants mattered. Walking and jogging were equally effective for men and women. Strength training was more effective for women, and yoga or qigong was more effective for men. For older adults, yoga was more effective. For younger people, strength training was more effective.
The researchers also discussed the limitations of the available data. Many studies only focused on a specific group, such as one gender or age group. Others included participants with many comorbidities, which makes it difficult to single out the benefits of a single treatment.
