“…The articles included in this review followed either a cross-sectional or intervention study design. A majority of studies were conducted in clinical settings (Behere et al, 2011; Duraiswamy, Thirthalli, Nagendra, & Gangadhar, 2007; Ganesh & Mishra, 2016; Krishnamurthy & Telles, 2007; Manjunath, Varambally, Thirthalli, Basavaraddi, & Gangadhar, 2013; Ramanathan, Bhavanani, & Trakroo, 2017; Roy, Govindan, & Muralidharan, 2018; Telles, Singh, Yadav, & Balkrishna, 2012; Varambally et al, 2012), while other study settings included educational institutions, community, geriatric centres, a park, and a corporate organization (Deb et al, 2016; Ghosh & Datta, 2012; Ghrouz et al, 2019; Godse, Shejwal, & Godse, 2015; Hallam, Bilsborough, & de Courten, 2018; Mukherjee et al, 2017; Nayak, Mohapatra, & Panda, 2019; Ray et al, 2001; Singh et al, 2018; Telles et al, 2018). The recruitment of clinical patients in many of these studies could prevent results from being generalizable to a broader population of mentally ill individuals.…”

“…Among all tools used, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was mostly commonly administered (Behere et al, 2011; Duraiswamy et al, 2007; Manjunath et al, 2013; Varambally et al, 2012). Majority of studies used more than one tool for assessment, where studies on schizophrenia used PANSS along with Simpson Angus Scale (SAS) or Social and Occupational Functioning Scale (SOFS); studies on depression or anxiety frequently used Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) or State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) with Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) (Behere et al, 2011; Duraiswamy et al, 2007; Manjunath et al, 2013; Roy et al, 2018; Telles et al, 2018; Varambally et al, 2012). All tools used in the studies were validated and appropriate for use among Indian patients.…”

“…Two studies used exercise as an intervention for mental health disorders. Roy et al (2018) utilized a RCT to designate patients to either intervention or control group and conversely Hallam et al (2018) did not use a comparison group. The lack of randomization and control group could have produced subjective results among the employee participants recruited for the study (Hallam et al, 2018).…”

“…There was no common exercise programme followed by the studies as each utilized participants with varying abilities and settings. Interventions ranged in duration from 10 days to 100 days and involved either an exercise programme with walking or jogging for a minimum of 10,000 steps per day as proposed by Hallam et al (2018) or an add-on video assisted aerobic exercise programme with warm-ups, low intensity aerobic exercises and cool-down for 20 minutes a day designed by Roy et al (2018). Short-term programmes may have insufficient amount of time to report clinical changes; however, both studies found significant improvements.…”

Background:Apart from its evident impact on physical health, physical activity also has a role to play in mental health. Individuals engaged in physical inactivity have been found to have higher morbidity and health care expenditure. In order to combat these issues and preserve mental health, interventions of exercise are typically advocated. This review aimed to assess the benefits of physical activity on common and severe mental disorders in the Indian context.Materials and methods:A Boolean search was carried out using both relevant keywords and MeSH terms. Articles were sourced from online databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Database, PsycINFO and Google Scholar. All studies included in the review were peer-reviewed articles exclusively from India with Indian subjects reporting the relationship between physical activity and at least one mental health outcome including depression, anxiety, psychosis, stress, self-esteem and cognitive functioning.Results:Nineteen articles were found eligible for the narrative review. Out of these, 7 were cross-sectional studies and 12 were intervention studies.Conclusion:Existing literature from India has shown promising results towards the impact of physical activity in mental health disorders. However, more research is needed in the assessment of physical activity and physical activity interventions suitable to the Indian context. This review found that exercise and yoga are effective in reducing mean scores for both severe and common mental disorders. Yoga had a more significant impact on patients with schizophrenia than exercise or no intervention. To confirm that exercise is an effective add-on treatment, further research is required.

“…Several systematic reviews, meta-analyses and literature studies have pointed out the efficacy of exercise interventions in treating various subtypes of depressive disorders, such as major and minor depression and dysthymia. Such research has mostly considered exercise as an adjunctive therapy to primary treatment with antidepressants or CBT across a variety of age groups, from young adults to the elderly (18–above 65 years old) ( 11 – 16 ). However, few reviews have focussed on providing an overview of the efficacy of exercise interventions as the primary treatment for depressive disorders (i.e.…”

There is an increasing evidence supporting the efficacy of exercise interventions in the treatment of depression, which is a growing global health concern. However, data on the efficacy of exercise as the primary treatment for depression are scarce. This narrative review explored the efficacy of exercise interventions as the primary treatment for depressive disorders. A comprehensive search for English-language literature published between January 1965 and November 2019 was conducted via PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Cochrane database and Medline. Thirteen randomised control trials (RCTs) were included in the final analysis. Their results indicated that supervised aerobic exercise and high-intensity progressive resistance training (PRT) were effective in ameliorating depressive symptoms as the primary treatment compared with control groups, but they were not superior to other active treatments, such as antidepressants and cognitive behavioural therapy. Aerobic exercise and high-intensity PRT may be a promising primary treatment for depression as they may induce biopsychosocial effects (effects on neurotrophic factor, pro-inflammatory cytokines, monoamine, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, self-efficacy, mastery experience, adaptive coping and social interaction), which may ameliorate the severity of depressive symptoms. However, future RCTs with more comprehensive and well-designed methodologies are warranted to confirm our findings.

Background and ObjectivesDepression and anxiety often co‐occur and have worse impacts on the elderly when experienced simultaneously. Although physical exercise may alleviate depression and anxiety, how it affects the specific symptoms is not fully understood.MethodsA total of 8884 participants was selected from the 2018 CLHLS database. The 10‐item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD‐10) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale–7 (GAD‐7) were used to assess depression and anxiety, respectively. Participants were divided into the exercise and the nonexercise groups using propensity score matching to minimize the influence of confounding variables. Depression–anxiety symptom networks were constructed, and network indexes were computed for each group, based on various packages of R. By computing network connectivity, invulnerability simulation was used to investigate the role of physical exercise in network robustness.ResultsBoth groups had D3 (sad mood), A4 (trouble relaxing) and A2 (uncontrollably worry) as central symptoms. In the exercise group, A1 (nervousness), A3 (too much worry) and D1 (bothered by little things) were the strongest bridge nodes. In the nonexercise group, A1 (nervousness), D1 (bothered by little things) and A4 (trouble relaxing) played this role. Participation in physical exercise decreased the centrality of D9 (cannot get doing) but increased the centrality of A3 (too much worry). Furthermore, the exercise group had higher network invulnerability than the nonexercise group under random attack conditions.ConclusionsPhysical exercise affected core symptoms of depression–anxiety and the interactions of symptoms. Targeting central or bridge nodes may be an effective intervention for alleviating the comorbidity. Increased network invulnerability manifested the positive effects of physical exercise.
