    Excerpt from the Research:


    Effects of physical exercise
    intervention on depressive
    and anxious moods of college
    students
    We looked at how different types of
    exercise affect how college students feel. What
    we found is that doing exercise moderately
    often and for a decent amount of time, and
    having at least one exercise session that feels
    right for you, can help reduce feelings of
    sadness and worry a lot. Our study adds to what
    we already knew and puts together all the
    evidence.
    When we looked at smaller groups in our
    study, we saw that doing exercise had a
    medium effect on making college students feel
    less sad and anxious. This matches what other
    studies found before. For example, one study
    showed that doing exercise for 60 minutes
    twice a week helped people feel better within
    12 weeks.
    Another study from 2009 found that doing
    different types of exercise helped improve
    depression in college students. It showed that
    doing more exercises made the body release
    more dopamine and other helpful substances,
    making people feel more confident and happier.
    Our findings provide recommendations
    for policy makers at relevant colleges and
    universities to intervene in public psychology of
    college students. This study shows that regular
    physical exercise has a good therapeutic effect
    on people with poor mental health, and can
    reduce negative emotions to some extent.
    This finding is consistent with previous
    research, that is, regardless of form and
    intensity, daily physical exercise is related to
    reducing the risk of psychological distress,
    helping to improve immunity and maintains
    emotional stability (Loprinzi, 2013).
