BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR MENTAL HEALTH TRIAL
Īn 8-week randomized controlled trial on the effects of brisk walking, and brisk walking with abdominal electrical muscle stimulation on anthropometric, body composition, and self-perception measures in sedentary adult women. Below, we’ll outline some psychological and biological explanations.Īerobic exercise increases hippocampal subfield volumes in younger adults and prevents volume decline in the elderly. Why the link?Īlthough evidence of a relationship between activity and mental health is piling up, scientists are still trying to figure out why this link exists.Īnd they have a few ideas. Perhaps it’s causal for some people but not for others.
So, it’s likely to be a complex relationship that varies from person to person. And everyone’s body responds differently to exercise. In this case, you could argue that depression causes a lack of exercise.Īnd there is growing evidence of a causal relationship between physical exercise and reduced mental health risk.īut everyone experiences mental health conditions in different ways. Similarly, the researchers concluded that all types of physical activity were associated with reduced mental health symptoms, compared with no exercise.īy now, the fact that these two things are related is clear.īut researchers are still trying to figure out whether the relationship is causal: Does exercise directly cause a reduced mental health risk?Īs an example, symptoms of depression may make people less likely to exercise. Another study used data from 1.2 million people.
