Career Connection In a recent study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, researchers sought to determine whether exercise can protect against new-onset depression and anxiety, what intensity and amount of exercise would be required, and why. They prospectively followed a cohort of 33,908 adults—with no common mental disorder symptoms or limiting physical health conditions—for 11 years and collected measures of exercise, depression and anxiety, as well as a range of mediating factors. The study revealed that regular leisure-time exercise was associated with reduced incidence of future depression but not anxiety. The majority of this protective effect occurred even at low levels of exercise, regardless of intensity. After adjusting for possible confounding variables, the researchers determined that 12 percent of future cases of depression could have been prevented if all participants engaged in at least one hour of physical activity each week.
