“…Research conducted by Altchiler and Motta (21), Raglin and Wilson (22), Orwin (23), and Morgan (24) concluded that aerobic exercise is more effective than anaerobic exercise in the treatment of anxiety disorder. Regarding depressive disorder, some investigators argue that aerobic exercise is also the most effective (25)(26)(27) but there is also research showing that both aerobic and anaerobic exercise may be effective (28,29).…”

Several studies have indicated that depressive states may lead to hypokinesia with diminished metabolic rate and energy use. Hypokinesia associated with certain eating behaviors may lead to an unfavorable energy balance that can contribute to the emergence and prevalence of obesity among children and adults. The purpose of the present study was to examine the possibility of reducing depression inventory scores in female adolescents with third-degree obesity while testing the effectiveness of different exercise programs in reducing anxiety and depression scores. The sample consisted of 40 female subjects (mean age 16 ± 1.56 years) divided into 4 groups (aerobic training, anaerobic training, leisure activities, and control). Subjects had a body mass index of 95% or more in relation to the 50th percentile. The aerobic program consisted of three ergometric bicycle sessions per week over a 3-month period (12 weeks) and the activities were prescribed after determining the anaerobic ventilatory threshold (VO 2 threshold). Anaerobic training was based on the Wingate anaerobic power test. The leisure program consisted of a varied range of activities (games, exercises, etc.). A nutritionist interviewed the members of these two groups and the control group every week in order to adapt them to the nutritional guidelines proposed for the study. The study showed that all three programs (aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise and leisure activities) were effective in reducing body mass. However, we found a significant reduction when analyzing the depression scores only for aerobic exercise (18.9 ± 9.33 to 10.6 ± 9.56 or 43.9%) but no significant alterations for anaerobic exercise (11.36 ± 5.23 to 9.63 ± 4.78 or 15.22%) and leisure (17.28 ± 7.55 to 15.07 ± 7.54 or 12.78%), thus indicating that in principle this type of activity could be included to improve emotional well-being of obese adolescent girls.

“…Uma forma de amenizar estes problemas de ansiedade e depressão em pacientes com AR poderia estar relacionada à prática regular de exercício físico, pois são evidentes os dados da literatura quanto aos benefícios do exercício no controle da depressão e da ansiedade na população em geral (Coyle & Santiago, 1995;Raglin & Wilson, 1996). Adicionalmente, a prática de exercício físico parece ser imprescindível para indivíduos com AR, no sentido de aprimorar sua saúde física (capacidade aeróbia, capacidade funcional e força muscular) (Gaudin et al, 2008;Jong & Vliet Vlieland, 2005;Noreau, Martineau, Roy, & Belzile, 1995 …”

RESUMOEste estudo teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura, buscando elucidar quais as alterações psicológicas mais prevalentes em indivíduos acometidos por Artrite Reumatóide (AR). Pesquisou-se também a respeito do impacto do exercício físico sobre essas variáveis psicológicas, expondo quais protocolos de exercício que estão sendo empregues com a finalidade de melhorar a saúde mental desses pacientes. Apesar dos poucos estudos sobre o tema, pode-se verificar que os transtornos de ansiedade e de depressão apresentam maior prevalência nessa população. Em contraste, poucas evidências foram encontradas quanto ao maior risco de psicose, agressividade e alto nível de estresse. Paralelamente, desde que foi associado à AR pela primeira vez, na década de 50, o exercício físico vem demonstrando bons resultados no tratamento da doença, consolidando-se cada vez mais como ferramenta terapêutica para esses pacientes. Evidências emergem também em relação às alterações benéficas provocadas pelo exercício nas variáveis psicológicas, no entanto, mais estudos são necessários para o fortalecimento destes dados. Isso permitiria aos pacientes com AR tratamentos mais efetivos, com uma base científica sólida, visando a melhoria na qualidade de vida dentro de um aspecto mais amplo, onde a saúde mental desempenha um papel fundamental. Palavras-chave: artrite reumatóide, variáveis psicológicas, exercício físico ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to provide a literature review aiming to clarify the most prevalent psychological changes present in individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the impact of exercise on such changes, and the exercise protocols commonly adopted to improve these individuals' mental health. The few studies available report anxiety disorders and depression as most prevalent and physical exercise as a significant therapeutic strategy for this population. There is some evidence of the beneficial effects of exercise on those psychological variables providing RA patients with more effective treatments.

“…Whether exercise improves depressive symptomatology in a general older population has been less consistently demonstrated in trials; some have been positive (Blumenthal et al, 1991;Coyle & Santiago, 1995;King, Taylor, & Haskell, 1993;McMurdo & Rennie, 1993;Williams & Lord, 1997), whereas others have yielded null effects (Dustman et al, 1984;Emery & Gatz, 1990;Jette et al, 1996;King, Taylor, Haskell, & DeBusk, 1989;McMurdo & Burnett, 1992;Pierce, Madden, Siegel, & Blumenthal, 1993). Consequently, it has been suggested that the antidepressive effect of exercise is most likely due to normalizing depressed mood states in older participants who have high initial depression levels rather than to inducing improvements in all older participants (Craft & Landers, 1998;King et al, 1993;Williams & Lord, 1997).…”

This study examines and compares the effect of aerobic and resistance exercise on emotional and physical function among older persons with initially high or low depressive symptomatology. Data are from the Fitness, Arthritis and Seniors Trial, a trial among 439 persons 60 years or older with knee osteoarthritis randomized to health education (control), resistance exercise, or aerobic exercise groups. Depressive symptoms (assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies--Depression scale) and physical function (disability, walking speed, and pain) were assessed at baseline and after 3, 9, and 18 months. Compared with results for the control group, aerobic exercise significantly lowered depressive symptoms over time. No such effect was observed for resistance exercise. The reduction in depressive symptoms with aerobic exercise was found both among the 98 participants with initially high depressive symptomatology and among the 340 participants with initially low depressive symptomatology and was the strongest for the most compliant persons. Aerobic and resistance exercise significantly reduced disability and pain and increased walking speed both, and to an equal extent, in persons with high depressive symptomatology and persons with low depressive symptomatology.
