“…Psychological stress and feelings of fatigue influence one's recovery by increasing sympathetic nervous system activity (Pronk et al, 1995;Schmikli et al, 2010), but that could not be reproduced in this study. One explanation is that the POMS subscale scores in this study were all low, indicating little mood disturbance.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the role of cardiovascular fitness and emotional state in heart rate recovery after submaximal exercise. Fifty recreationally active subjects (male n=19, females n= 31) completed the study. Height, weight, body composition, and waist circumference were measured, with current emotional state assessed through completion of the Profile of Mood States questionnaire, followed by the Queen's College Step Test to estimate maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Heart rate recovery was determined by the difference between assessments of peak heart rate during exercise and 1 minute postexercise. Heart rate recovery was correlated with VO2 max, body composition, body mass index, waist circumference, resting heart rate, peak heart rate and the assessed mood states. A moderate negative correlation was found between heart rate recovery and resting heart rate (r = -.307, p = .032) and was the only variable to show significance. The results of this study disagree with previous literature as only one physiologic variable had a significant relationship with heart rate recovery. This may be because the participants recruited for this study were of at least average fitness and there were no significant signs of psychological stress in study participants at the time of testing.

Background: Aging is a sensitive period of human life and, considering the special needs and the behaviors that lead to mental health promotion and quality of life, this period is very important. The useful methods used to maintain mental health, reduce stress and make one more adaptive are doing physical activities and aerobic exercises. No studies in the past have investigated variety of exercises such as the role of hiking on mental health and happiness of elderly women. Objectives: This study was done to evaluate the impact of the six-week hiking on happiness and mental health of elderly residing in Semnan. Patients and Methods: Twenty-seven elderly women with a mean age of 61 years were randomly selected in two groups with available sampling; the case group with 14 participants and the control group with 13. The case group took part in walking exercises. Both groups completed the Persian Version of the oxford happiness inventory (OHI) before and after exercises. This inventory contains 29 items, which evaluates happiness components; self-esteem, positive mood, life satisfaction, efficiency and mental health. Results: There was a significant difference in the self-esteem (P = 0.003), life satisfaction (P = 0.001), efficiency (P = 0.00), positive mood (P = 0.00), mental health (P = 0.001) and happiness (P = 0.001) among elderly women in the case group before and after a regular six-week walking program. Conclusions: According to the results, walking increases the happiness and mental health of elderly women. Therefore, promoting the habit of walking as a public activity among elder women could have a significant impact on them.

“…Unfortunately, however, "the pathophysiology of depression is not well understood" (LowDog, 1997). It is clear from a review of the medical literature that both nutrition and exercise can play a significant role in the development and treatment of depression (Alpert & Fava, 1997;Benton & Donohoe, 1999;Brown, Shirley-Goldstein, Robinson, & Casey, 2001;Cramer, Nieman, & Lee, 1991;Fox, 1999;Kanarek, 1997;Kelly, 1998;Lombard, 2000;Pronk, Crouse, & Rohaack, 1995;Rogers, 2001).…”

“…Numerous studies point to the benefit of light regular exercise in the treatment of depression (Cramer et al, 1991;Fox, 1999;Pronk et al, 1995). Aerobic exercise in the form of walking or dance can dramatically improve outlook and sense of well-being while enhancing self-esteem, improving sleep, and providing opportunity for enhanced cardiovascular function.…”

Women and Depression: A Phytotherapist’s Approach

Depression, anxiety, and similar disorders are the most commonly encountered women's health problems in Western countries with women experiencing higher rates of depression than men. Alternative and conventional medical practitioners are consulted for the treatment of mild to moderate and even severe depression perhaps more than any other mood and affective disorder, mood disorders being the primary emotional imbalance encountered in clinical herbal practice. The medical definition of depression provides a narrow parameter against which a wide range of human sadness and grief is measured and categorized. This unfortunately may lead to the inappropriate labeling, medicating, and potential stigmatization of many who appear to fit the diagnosis of depression and the marginalization and exclusion from diagnosis of those who do not necessarily fit neatly into this category, yet who truly suffer from this malady of emotion. The causes of depression are multifactorial. A truly comprehensive holistic approach must consider physical pathologic etiologies (e. g., endocrinologic dysregulation) as well as social, emotional, and psychological factors ranging from availability of support networks to issues of selfesteem, gender issues faced by women in contemporary times, socioeconomic factors, as well as diet, nutrition, and exercise levels. This article addresses many of these multifactorial issues, providing the reader with both evidence-based and traditional information on the use of complementary and herbal therapeutic approaches to depression in women.
