Abstract :

Physical activity and exercise plays an important role to deal with daily mental health issues of sports person, such as depression and anxiety. While people with depression have a tendency to be less physical active than non–depressed individuals, increased aerobic exercise or strength training has been reveals to reduce depressive symptoms significantly. On the other hand, habitual physical activity has not been shown to helping factor for depression. Anxiety symptoms and panic disorder also improve with regular exercise, and beneficial effects appear to equal meditation or relaxation. In general, acute anxiety responds better to exercise than chronic anxiety. Studies of older adults and adolescents with depression or anxiety have been limited, but physical activity appears beneficial to these populations as well. Excessive physical activity may lead to overtraining and generate psychological symptoms that mimic depression. Numerous psychological and physiological factors have been proposed to explain the effect of physical activity on mental health problems. The present article emphasized the need to simplify the mental health benefits of exercise among various populations and to address the underlying the benefits of exercise on mental health.
