Abstract in brief

  • The study found that exercise can help reduce depression and inflammation, but the effect depends on how intense the exercise is.
  • Moderate continuous training (MCT) was most effective in decreasing depression and proinflammatory cytokines like TNF, while high-intensity interval training (HIT) also reduced depression but increased stress and inflammation markers.
  • The results suggest that moderate-intensity exercise may be the best approach for improving mental health and reducing inflammation, making it a useful strategy for using exercise as a form of medicine for depression.]

@anku505 Except that theory would not provide a rational for a dose response curve. People who love sun more don’t like exercise more. Even if they did, it’s moderate and not excessive exercise that improves health. https://t.co/hcDcdTkBQa

El ejercicio físico de intensidad moderada podría resultar una muy buena alternativa para prevenir y tratar la depresión, debido a una modulación de los niveles inflamatorios y la reducción del estrés percibido. Publicación científica
