Abstract in brief
- Physical activity, especially exercise, can help treat and prevent depression, but the biological and psychosocial ways it works are still being studied.
- Exercise impacts various processes like neuroplasticity, inflammation, oxidative stress, hormone regulation, self-esteem, and social support, all of which are linked to depression.
- Understanding these mechanisms can improve the design of personalized exercise programs to maximize their antidepressant effects and help explain how different factors might influence outcomes.]
