This study was designed to determine if a single bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise would improve mood and well-being in 40 (15 male, 25 female) individuals who were receiving treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD).
All participants were randomly assigned to exercise at 60-70% of age-predicted maximal heart rate for 30 min or to a 30-min period of quiet rest. Participants completed both the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Subjective Exercise Experiences Scale (SEES) as indicators of mood 5 min before, and 5, 30, and 60 min following their experimental condition.
Both groups reported similar reductions in measures of psychological distress, depression, confusion, fatigue, tension, and anger. Only the exercise group, however, reported a significant increase in positive well-being and vigor scores.
Although 30 min of either moderate-intensity treadmill exercise or quiet rest is sufficient to improve the mood and well-being of patients with MDD, exercise appears to have a greater effect on the positively valenced states measured.
本研究旨在确定一次中等强度有氧运动是否会改善40名（15名男性，25名女性）正在接受重度抑郁症（MDD）治疗的个体的情绪和幸福感。
所有参与者被随机分配到以年龄预测最大心率的60%-70%进行30分钟运动组，或30分钟安静休息组。参与者在其实验条件前5分钟、后5分钟、30分钟和60分钟完成情绪状态量表（POMS）和主观运动体验量表（SEES），作为情绪指标。
两组报告的心理困扰、抑郁、困惑、疲劳、紧张和愤怒测量值均有类似下降。然而，只有运动组报告积极幸福感和活力得分显著增加。
虽然30分钟的中等强度跑步机运动或安静休息都足以改善MDD患者的情绪和幸福感，但运动似乎对所测量的正性情绪状态有更大影响。
