Abstract in brief
- This systematic review analyzed 12 randomized clinical trials to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise in reducing anxiety symptoms in adults with high anxiety levels or anxiety disorders, finding some evidence suggesting benefits similar to established treatments.
- However, many of the studies had significant limitations such as small sample sizes, concurrent therapies, and poor assessment of adherence and fitness, which weaken the strength of the evidence.
- While exercise shows promise as a potential treatment for anxiety, more rigorous and well-designed research is needed before any definitive conclusions can be made about its effectiveness.]
