Regular exercise associated with better mental health
23 Jul 2008
The findings of this study are consistent with the evidence from randomised controlled trials that exercise may be effective in the short term as a treatment for mild to moderate depression. However, this is a cross-sectional study and cannot therefore indicate the direction of causation. The results may simply reflect the fact that depressed patients are less motivated and exercise less.
