Expert Pearls

Mood Disorders - Exercise

Exercise - as little as 10 minutes of brisk walking can reduce psychological tension and enhance feelings of energy. Moderate intensity that elevates breathing and a degree of sweating occurs, is generally sufficient. More exercise, in general, seems to be better than just a little. People who exercised for 2 to 7 hours a week were psychologically "healthier" than people who did little or no exercise at all. Exercisers who engaged in 8 to 10 hours of activity a week were even "healthier." People should do whatever form of exercise they enjoy for as long as they can manage. Something is better than no exercise. [J Psychosomatic Med, 1996;40(2):123-141. 24395 (1997)] Summary Interview
