Abstract

|
Over the past several decades, there has been interest on the role of physical activity in mental health. Mental health issues can impair physical health, social and occupational functioning seriously. Thus, the development of preventive strategies has been required. Physical activity is a cost-effective prevention strategy. Besides, substantial physical health-related benefits and a number of psychological benefits have been proved, most evidence seen with depression. For example, physical activity can improve depressive symptoms in those who are diagnosed with major depression, in healthy adults, and in patients with cardiovascular disease or other chronic disease. Regular physical activity appears to be protective against cognitive dysfunction, anxiety and poor sleep. Current evidence supports the conclusion that regular participation in moderate physical activity, consistent with current public health guidelines, gives mental health benefits.
