Anxiety and depressive disorders are major public health problems, and desirable changes in lifestyle, such as physical exercise, can have great potential in prevention and treatment. There is growing evidence that physically active people are at a reduced risk of developing depression, and that exercise interventions are associated with significant benefits for patients with mild to moderate forms of depression as well as in reducing anxiety. These findings have led to the proposal that exercise may serve as an alternative or a supplement to traditional forms of therapy. This paper will present a broad overview of research involving the efficacy of exercise as means to prevent and treat depression and anxiety, and related issues regarding dosage and compliance. Finally, exercise will be discussed in the frame of cognitive-behavioural theory.
焦虑症和抑郁症是主要的公共卫生问题，而生活方式的有益改变，如体育锻炼，在预防和治疗方面具有巨大潜力。越来越多的证据表明，经常运动的人患抑郁症的风险较低，而且运动干预对轻至中度抑郁症患者有显著益处，同时也能减轻焦虑。这些发现促使人们提出，运动可以作为传统治疗形式的替代或补充。本文将全面概述有关运动作为预防和治疗抑郁症及焦虑症手段的疗效的研究，以及相关的剂量和依从性问题。最后，将在认知行为理论的框架内讨论运动。
