Q

POMS; negative and positive dimensions

A

5 negative that are decreased with PA
- anger, tension, confusion, depression, fatigue

1 positive is increased with PA
- vigor

17
Q

treatment options: medications

A
  • medications
18
Q

treatment options: psychotherapy

A

psychotherapy: cognitive behavioural therapy and time-limited therapies
- limits on treatment therapies (i.e, time and money), highlight need for other, less costly treatment options

19
Q

treatment options: exercise

A
  • being examined more frequently as a viable option for the treatment of clinical levels of depression
20
Q

exercise vs medicine

A

21
Q

PA and Mood Research: connection

A

connection between

  • growing lack of PA
  • increasing prevalence of mental health problems
  • the least active individuals have the greatest incidence of mental health problems
22
Q

regular PA can be useful for disorders:

A
  • PA can be useful for:
  • preventing mental disorders
  • reducing risk of occurrence
23
Q

PA and Depression: research concerns

A
  • poor design, small/unrepresentative sample sizes
24
Q

PA and Depression: nonclinical depression

A
  • mental state: feelings of gloom and listleness
  • cross sectional and prospective studies show an association between PA and depressive symptoms
  • more active= less depressive symptoms, less active = more depressive symptoms
25
Q

evidence for treatment effects- non-clinical depression

A

meta analysis- North, McCullagh

  • exercise resulted in decreased depression
  • exercise was as effective as, and sometimes more effective than, traditional therapies
  • certain factors moderated exercise treatment effects while others did not
26
Q

moderating and non-moderating factors

A
  • quantitative reviews have been able to examine a variety of exercise and participant variables that might serve as moderation factors, including age, sex, and race/ethnicity
27
Q

moderating and non-moderating factors

- exercise factors

A
  • exercise mode (no)
  • program length (?)
  • intensity (?)
  • duration/frequency (no)
  • acute vs chronic (no)
28
Q

moderating and non-moderating factors

- participant factors

A
  • age (no)
  • sex (no)
  • initial depression (no)
  • race/ethnicity (?)
29
Q

PA and Depression research: clinical depression

A
  • lowered mood > 2 weeks and +5 related symptoms
  • craft and lander meta analysis
  • overall (ES=.72)
  • regardless of purpose of PA
  • medical rehab (ES=.97)
  • psychological rehab (ES=.55)
30
Q

PA and Depression research: clinical depression - Cooney and colleagues (2013)

A
  • meta analysis found that exercise has found to have moderate effect size on treatment effect (ES=.62) versus control, but no more effective than pharmacological therapies
31
Q

PA and Depression- moderators and recommendations: dose-response

A

dose-response

  • longer the program (>9-10 weeks): the greater the impact (very little research on long term programs)
  • no significant differences in ES for activity duration/intensity (30-60 mins recommended)
32
Q

PA and Depression- moderators and recommendations:task-type

A

task type

  • all forms= equally beneficial
  • caution! poor distinctions between aerobic and anaerobic
  • 50-80% of HR max
33
Q

PA and Depression- moderators and recommendations: individual characteristics

A
  • frequency: 3-5 weeks
  • individuals showed decrease in depression when PA
  • law of initial values
  • moderate-severe (ES=.88) vs mild-mod (ES=.34)
34
Q

PA and Depression: best with

A
  • best in conjunction with psychotherapy
35
Q

evidence of treatment effects: consensus statements on clinical depression

A
  1. PA has protective benefits against symptoms of depression
  2. moderating effects of exercise seem to increase with greater levels of PA
  3. exercise can be associated with a decreased mild-mod depression (but not major)
  4. exercise may be an adjunct to the professional treatment for severe depression
  5. optimal types and/or amounts of PA not known ( 50-80% HR max and 3x/week >30mins is ideal)
36
Q

mechanisms of change: hypotheses

A
  • master hypothesis
  • social interaction hypothesis
  • anthropological hypothesis
