(Natural News<\/a>) A systematic review published in the journal Depression and Anxiety<\/em>suggests that aerobic exercise has significant antidepressant effects<\/a> for people with clinical depression. More specifically, the review reported that three 45-minute sessions of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every week may relieve clinical depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team of researchers from Greece, the U.K., and Canada evaluated the antidepressant effects of aerobic exercise on people suffering from clinical depression. The research team looked at 11 studies with a total of 455 adult participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of taking antidepressant drugs \u2013 which is the conventional treatment for depression \u2013 the participants underwent supervised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for an average of 45 minutes, thrice a week for a period of 9.2 weeks.

The results showed that the exercise routine significantly improved the symptoms of depression, regardless of their severity. In addition, in trials for individuals with a lower risk of clinical depression, aerobic exercise produced moderate-to-large antidepressant effects. For trials with short?term exercise interventions or up to four weeks, exhibited large antidepressant effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on these findings, the research team concluded that aerobic exercise can relieve symptoms of depression and may be used as an effective treatment for this mental illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
