Weinstein, A., Deuster, P., Francis, J., Beadling, C., & Kop, W,.(2009). The Role of Depression in Short- Term Mood and Faigue Responses to Acute Exercise. International Society of Behavioral Medicine (2010) 17:51-57. DOI:10.1007/s12529-009-9046-4
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise has an effect on depressed moods and fatigue in depression patients and non-depressed participants. The participants included 14 patients diagnosed with major or minor depressive disorder, and 16 control participants who were chosen by similarities in age, gender, and BMI. Participants had to engage in exercise on the treadmill, while moods and fatigue were measure before and after exercise. The hypothesis was that depression patients would …show more content…
We sill don’t know how self-initiated exercise has influenced the levels. The objective is to find how much exercise affects the positive and negative levels. The hypothesis was that, treatment studies have found that engaging in prescribed structured exercise significantly reduces levels of depressive symptoms. They believe lower levels in positive or negative affect before exercise can predict a larger change post exercise. They also believe that affect in a depression patients mood post exercise is stronger that a control participants. Researchers used the DSM-IV-R and BDI to determine who they considered as depressed patients and who were healthy controls. They also asked questions such as: How long were you active, with answers varying from 5-120 minutes. Mild, moderate, and intense workouts. This article was harder to understand than my previous articles, because of the results section. However its very useful because part of my research proposal included that I wanted to come up with an exercise regime for all my participants to participate in, however like this article summarized its very hard to do because each patient could be at a different level. They used statistical methods, however the results were in contrast to the hypothesis, there was no difference between the depressed and control participants in frequency, intensity, or duration of physical activity …show more content…
The measures included BMI, blood pressure and heart rate, flexibility, and balance. Depression was measured using the Center of epidemiological Studies Depression scale and Lee’s modified scale. All measures were taken before and after the exercise program. The researchers hypothesized that increase of social interaction, when completing the exercise and education program would decrease depression among the women. Also that there would be a difference between baseline and post study measures. The exercise sessions were conducted twice a week for 8 weeks, with session beginning at 30 minutes and slowly reaching 5o minutes. Those sessions were mostly cardiovascular exercises. In the end, significant improvements were found in depression. However, no significant difference was found as a whole in baseline and post study
