Daily exercise can cope with depression

in depression •  3 years ago 

Researchers have found that exercising at least half an hour a day can reduce the risk of depression. Circulation is faster after exercise. As the speed of respiration increases, the person takes in more oxygen. Therefore, it affects the biochemical components of the brain that cause depression and helps to alleviate depression. These are the findings of a study conducted by the University of Iowa.

Thirty adults with depression were selected for the study. Participants were asked to cycle for half an hour. They were surveyed before, during and after cycling. Then 25, 50, 75 minutes later they were asked questions from the survey. Criteria were also used to measure their depression.

These individuals showed improvement up to 75 minutes after exercise. The main symptoms of the depressed patients were observed to be depressed mood in these individuals, dissatisfaction with the work done in the past, loss of comprehension. It showed that patients who cycled for half an hour showed significant improvement over the next 75 minutes. Patients who did not enjoy work began to recover after 75 minutes of exercise. However, patients in the exercise group appeared to be better off than those who did not exercise at all.

Experts say it is not yet clear how long this short-term improvement will last. However, 75 minutes after exercise, depressed patients show improvement. It is hoped that they will show better recovery than non-exercisers. The group that exercised in this week-long study was shown to have reduced symptoms of depression after testing. Exercise patients responded immediately to those who treated them. Communicated well with them. Exercise stimulates the brain and improves patients compared to cognitive behavioral tests that give emotionally challenging tasks to patients with depression. Exercise therapy is more effective than medication on depressed patients. But it does not have the same immediate effect as medicine. Exercise takes a while to improve, but there are other benefits to staying healthy.
