WHY IS EXERCISE SO IMPORTANT?

AEROBIC EXERCISES.
Several types of aerobic exercise have been found to reduce the symptoms of depression including running Christian Dvorak Coyotes Jersey , cycling, jogging, swimming or going for a 20 minute walk. These types of activities may not be appropriate for some older adults. Gardening or a short walk around the block may be more suitable for those in this age group. In older people, exercise has been found to be just as beneficial as antidepressant medication or social contact according to Beyond Blue.
STRENGTH TRAINING.
Strength training and weights can also reduce some symptoms of depression. According to Edith Cowan University exercise science professor Robert Newton, the most convincing research to date showed high intensity weight lifting resistance training was far superior in curbing anxiety and depression than either low intensity training or just remaining on the couch.
In an Australian study published in the Journal of Gerontology in 2005 Max Domi Coyotes Jersey , high intensity strength training was shown to reduce depression as effectively as drug therapy.
