The Effects of a Single Bout of Exercise on Mood and Self-Esteem in Clinically Diagnosed Mental Health Patients

Objectives: Research has highlighted the importance of regular exercise within the general population and mental health groups in regard to mood and self-esteem, as well as single bout exercise within the general population. However, research into single bout exercise in mental health population is lacking. This study investigated the impact of a single bout of exercise, on mood and self-esteem, in patients with a wider clinical mental health diagnosis. Design: A quantitative questionnaire was completed immediately pre and post a single, 45 minute bout of moderate intensity exercise, consisting of the Brunel Universal Mood States (BRUMS) questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSE). Methods: Participants attending a mental health hospital with a clinical mental health diagnosis (N = 54) completed the questionnaire. Information regarding physical activity levels, mental health diagnosis and length of hospital stay were collated. Results: A significant improvement was identified on the RSE as well as the BRUMS (depression, anger, confusion, anxious tension and vigour) over time. Conclusion: The significant findings highlight the importance of exercise promotion within this population group, and the potentially beneficial role that a single bout of exercise can have on mood and self-esteem in patients experiencing mental health problems.

Beneficial for mental health,exercise more or less?

Regular physical activity may improve mental health during the pandemic by reducing inflammatory responses.However,overtraining or prolonged exercise training may adversely affect mental health.

The Positive Effects of Physical Exercise on Mental Health Among Chinese Students Under Great Competitive Pressure

Under an environment full of competitive stress,students tend to form negative emotions,and the time for them to engage in physical exercise is greatly limited due to overwhelming academic tasks.Therefore,in this paper,we focus on acknowledging the purpose of physical exercise,and how physical exercise affects the mental health of students under stressful circumstances but not in the context of leisure.Questionnaire was distributed to participants with an average age of 20,to investigate their preference,frequency,and reason for exercising,and their attitude towards it.Our results showed that participants think that exercise can strengthen the body,relieve stress,improve fitness and interpersonal relationship regardless of their purpose such as interests,emotional necessity and even out of non-subjective ideas.In conclusion,physical exercise helped to improve students’mental health especially under great pressure and ultimately,it will enhance their academics and bring about the unity of mind and body.

The Relationship between Exercise and Psychotic Symptoms in College Students: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

An increasing number of studies have suggested that increased physical activity is associated with less mental illness.However,the relationship between exercise and psychotic experiences(PEs)is still unknown.The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between exercise and PEs in college students in the United States.Data from the Health Mind Survey(2020–2021 round)were analyzed.Respondents included 137,916 college students who were asked about exercise and PEs(lifetime psychotic experiences,delusions,and hallucinations).A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between exercise and PEs while controlling for demographic characteristics.There was a significant correlation between exercise and PEs among college students.Compared to students who exercised less than one hour per week,students who exercisedfive or more hours per week had fewer lifetime psychotic experiences.This samefinding obtained for both male and female college students.Thefindings from the present study indicate that exercising forfive or more hours each week is most correlated with decreased PEs among college students.However,experimental studies are required to extend and confirm ourfindings and determine the causality of this relationship.

The Effects of Accumulated Short Bouts of Mobile-Based Physical Activity Programs on Depression,Perceived Stress,and Negative Affectivity among College Students in South Korea:Quasi-Experimental Study

Regular physical activity(PA)is known to enhance multifaceted health benefits,including both physical and mental health.However,traditional in-person physical activity programs have drawbacks,including time constraints for busy people.Although evidence suggests positive impacts on mental health through mobile-based physical activity,effects of accumulated short bouts of physical activity using mobile devices are unexplored.Thus,this study aims to investigate these effects,focusing on depression,perceived stress,and negative affectivity among South Korean college students.Forty-six healthy college students were divided into the accumulated group(n=23,female=47.8%)and control group(n=23,female=47.6%).The accumulated group engaged in mobile-based physical activity,following guidelines to accumulate a minimum of two times per day and three times a week.Sessions were divided into short bouts,ensuing each bout lasted at least 10 min.The control group did not engage in any specific physical activity.The data analysis involved comparing the scores of the intervention and control groups using several statistical techniques,such as independent sample t-test,paired sample t-tests,and 2(time)×2(group)repeated measures analysis of variance.The demographic characteristics at the pre-test showed no statistically significant differences between the groups.The accumulated group had significant decreases in depression(t_(40)=2.59,p=0.013,Cohen’s D=0.84)and perceived stress(t_(40)=2.06,p=0.046,Cohen’s D=0.56)from the pre-to post-test.The control group exhibited no statistically significant differences in any variables.Furthermore,there were significant effects of time on depression scores(F1,36=4.77,p=0.036,η_(p)^(2)=0.12)while significant interaction effects were also observed for depression(F_(1,36)=6.59,p=0.015,η_(p)^(2)=0.16).This study offers informative insights into the potential advantages of mobile-based physical activity programs with accumulated periods for enhancing mental health,specifically in relation to depression.This study illuminates the current ongoing discussions on efficient approaches to encourage mobile-based physical activity and improve mental well-being,addressing various lifestyles and busy schedules.

The Impact of Physiotherapy Interventions on the Elderly Population with Mental Health Conditions at Chainama Hills College Hospital in Zambia. A Pre-Post Single Sample Study Design

Background: Physical functional decline is common among elderly individuals with mental disorders, worsening their symptoms. Physiotherapy interventions have shown some evidence in improving physical function and mental health outcomes in this population. This study aimed to assess the impact of physiotherapy interventions on the elderly with mental health conditions at Chainama Hills College Hospital in Zambia. Methods: A pre-post single sample design was used to track patient progress over six weeks, with 10 physiotherapy sessions. The study population (N = 30) comprised of all elderly individuals with mental health conditions, encompassing both men and women, who were hospitalized during the research period. The Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living and the six-minute walk test were evaluated before and after the intervention. The IBM SPSS version 26 was used to analyze data and results were presented as mean ± SD with a 95% confidence interval. The variables were described in terms of their mean, SD, and range. A significance level of 0.05 was used for a paired T-test to detect changes and multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with mental health. Results: Following the intervention, the percentage of participants achieving full function and independence increased significantly to 96.7% from the initial 73.3%, supported by a 95% CI = [0.82 - 0.99]. There was also a notable decrease in the proportion of individuals experiencing moderate impairment, dropping from 26.7% to just 3.3%, with a corresponding 95% CI = [0.00 - 0.17]. Conclusion: The findings derived from this study illustrate an enhancement in the aspects of participants’ overall health and functional condition, including blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Consequently, physiotherapy exercises can be employed as a tactic to ameliorate the functional status and physical well-being of older individuals afflicted with mental disorders in Zambia.

Effects of Standard Tai Chi on Exercise Capacity and Mental Health in Exercise-Deprived Overweight/Obese Adults and Assessment of Participant Adherence

Objective:To explore the effects of Tai Chi on body mass index(BMI),exercise capacity,and mental health of overweight/obese adults,and investigate factors influencing adherence to enhance adherence of Tai Chi as a sustainable exercise method.Methods:A randomized,controlled,exploratory clinical trial was conducted paired with a qualitative study of adherence management.A total of 20 overweight/obese participants were randomly assigned to a standard Tai Chi group(experimental)and a simplified Tai Chi group(control)for an 8-week intervention,10 patients in each group,with a 12-month follow-up.BMI was calculated and exercise capacity including an isokinetic muscle strength and balance ability test were evaluated.Mental health was assessed using the General Well-Being Schedule(GWB),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),and Coping Self Efficacy Scale(CSES)at baseline,4th week,and 8th week,respectively.The qualitative research included open-interviews with Tai Chi practitioners and semi-structured interviews with subjects.Results:The intervention was conducted in Haidian Park,Beijing,China from October 6,2022,to January 1,2023,without dropouts.After an 8-week intervention,the participants in the experimental group exhibited a significant decrease in BMI(P<0.05).Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in exercise capacity(P<0.05).The experimental group exhibited a significant enhancement in the GWB,PSQI and CSES(P<0.05).Only GWB had significant difference in the control group(P<0.05).The experimental group surpassed the control group in GWB and CSES(P<0.05).The adherence rate was 87.5%in the experimental group and 57.9%in the control group after8 weeks intervention.Analysis on adherence identified 15 themes,the top 3 themes mentioned were as follows:mind-body effects,online and on-site guidance,training schedule(for subjects);mind-body effects,difficulties in practicing,and understanding of Tai Chi(for practitioners).Conclusions:Both interventions were effective in improving exercise capacity.Standard Tai Chi,integrating both physical and mental conditioning,reduced weight,improved exercise capacity and mental happiness,and increased adherence,providing a sustainable exercise program(ChiCTR2200063599).

间歇与持续训练对体力活动不足成人生活质量影响的Meta分析

目的:高强度间歇训练(high-intensity interval training,HIIT)和中等强度持续训练(moderate-intensity continuous training,MICT)对临床慢性病患者生活质量均有改善作用,但其对于体力活动不足成人的应用效果与调节因素尚不明确。文章旨在探究HIIT与MICT对体力活动不足成人生活质量的应用效果与调节因素。方法:在Web of Science核心合集、Medline(EBSCO Host)、PubMed和Cochrane Library数据库中进行文献检索,检索时限为各数据库建库至2023年9月。纳入文献类型为随机对照试验,研究对象为体力活动不足成人。采用RevMan 5.4软件和GRADE证据评价框架对纳入文献进行质量评价。使用R Studio(版本4.2.0)进行随机效应模型的主效应合并。亚组分析、回归分析和敏感性分析用于探讨研究异质性来源和调节因素。结果:①纳入32项中等至高质量的随机对照试验,共2083名体力活动不足成人对象(HIIT组474例;MICT组708例;对照组901例)。②相比于无训练对照组,HIIT(Hedges’g=0.61;95%CI:0.40-0.83;I2=45%)与MICT(Hedges’g=0.66;95%CI:0.25-1.08;I2=89%)均能显著提升生活质量。当直接比较HIIT与MICT时,二者之间的影响未观察到显著差异(Hedges’g=-0.01;95%CI:-0.23-0.21;I2=0%)。③亚组分析结果显示,HIIT和MICT在提高身体层面的生活质量更为有效(HIIT:Hedges’g=0.82 vs.0.75;MICT:Hedges’g=0.74 vs.0.55),而骑行在提高整体生活质量方面有更好的趋势(HIIT:Hedges’g=0.74 vs.0.36;MICT:Hedges’g=1.08 vs.0.52)。④回归分析未识别出任何显著的调节因素(所有因素P>0.05)。⑤上述Meta分析均未发现发表偏倚(Egger检验P>0.05)。结论:①中高级别的证据表明,HIIT与MICT均能改善体力活动不足成人的生活质量,且二者之间的干预效果类似。因此,在选择这两种方案时,需综合考虑安排灵活性、时间经济性以及应用可行性等因素制订个性化运动方案。②文章推荐在应用HIIT时,3次/周,使用低量方案(例如,每次5组,每组1 min),以80%-95%最大心率进行骑行可达理论最佳改善效果。③尽管MICT可提高生活质量,但尚无充分证据显示增加运动时长会带来额外益处。因此,建议在实施MICT时,每周进行3次以上,每次训练时长控制在25-60 min,并以50%-75%最大心率进行骑行,以达到理论上预期的最佳改善效果。
