Effects of Crawl Swimming on Depression in type 2 Diabetic Patients

Effectiveness of physical activity in managing co-morbid depression in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The 18 studies included 1428 participants (746 in the experimental group and 682 in the control group). Most (n = 13) studies included both male and female participants, while 3 studies included only male participants (Saiiari et al, 2011;Sardar et al, 2014;Gilani and Feizabad, 2019), and 2 studies included only female participants (Schneider et al, 2016;Yucel and Uysal, 2016). Participants in 14 studies had a mean age >50 years, while participants in 4 studies had a mean age <50 years (Gilani and Feizabad, 2019;Osama and Shehab, 2015;Sardar et al, 2014;Saiiari et al, 2011).…”

“…The majority of the studies (n = 12) did not specify a clinical diagnosis or severity of depression of the included participants. Of the remaining 6 studies, two studies included participants with major depressive disorder diagnosed based on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV disorders (Schneider et al, 2016;De Groot et al, 2019b), one study included participants with Beck Depression Inventory scores (BDI) ≥14 (Piette et al, 2011), one study included participants with BDI scores >18 (Saiiari et al, 2011), one study included subjects with at least one depressive symptom on Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) (Vucic Lovrencic et al, 2015), while one study included subjects with mild to moderate depression, but did not reported the method of diagnosing mild to moderate depression (Abdelbasset et al, 2020).…”

The Effect of Exercise Interventions to Improve Psychosocial Aspects and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…After removing duplicates and animal studies (n ¼ 511), the remaining articles were screened based on the title and the abstract and then 439 studies were excluded, leaving 25 full-text articles. Of these, two were excluded as they did not evaluate the effect of exercise intervention (Debussche et al, 2012;Menard et al, 2007), three were excluded as they used different exercise interventions (Duruturk & O ¨zko ¨slu ¨, 2019;Saiiari & Moslehi, 2011;Schmid et al, 2018;Zuo et al, 2020), one was excluded as it did not measure psychological aspects (Hsieh et al, 2018), one was a non-RCT (Pibernik-Okanovic ´et al, 2015;Sanches et al, 2020), and one was excluded as its control group participated in the exercise training (Thind et al, 2018). Finally, 17 RCTs (Aylin et al, 2009;Collins et al, 2011;Duijzer et al, 2017;Gallagher et al, 2014;Kempf & Martin, 2013;Lambers et al, 2008;Lincoln et al, 2011;McKay et al, 2001;Mousavi Gilani & Feizabad, 2019;Myers et al, 2013;Nicolucci et al, 2012;Oh et al, 2010;Osama & Shehab, 2015;Pibernik-Okanovic ´et al, 2015;Sardar et al, 2014;Schneider et al, 2016;Tomas-Carus et al, 2016) were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis.…”

Swimming exercise decreases depression‐like behaviour and inflammatory cytokines in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes

“…Therefore, there is a major need to develop new therapeutic strategies to reduce depression-related behaviours in type 2 diabetic patients. In recent years, physical activity or exercise has been suggested to attenuate stress-related disorders such as depression in diabetic or non-diabetic patients (Carek et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2017;Saiiari & Moslehi, 2011;Teychenne et al, 2008).…”
