Abstract

CLINICAL QUESTION: Is exercise an effective treatment for depression? BOTTOM LINE: Exercise is associated with a greater reduction in depression symptoms compared with no treatment, placebo, or active control interventions, such as relaxation or meditation. However, analysis of high-quality studies alone suggests only small benefits.
