Objectives This study was designed to test whether a brief mindful yoga intervention can prevent depression-related responses dysphoric events. Methods One-hundred-75 undergraduate participants were assigned one of four conditions in single-session study. Three received affect induction. Before the induction, completed 20-minute consisting (a) yoga, (b) stretching, or (c) relaxation control. The fourth condition consisted neutral induction examine validity We hypothesized that compared control and would show less: (H1) state depressed affect; (H2) rumination; (H3) attentional bias toward words. Results Validity checks indicated led greater rumination, but not bias. Compared control, did less depression, stretching group showed depression rumination. Conclusions results do provide support for preventing reactivity. It may be when given brief, one-time dose, is better choice negative outcomes from subsequent experience.

Abstract Objective To identify the optimal dose and modality of exercise for treating major depressive disorder, compared with psychotherapy, antidepressants, control conditions. Design Systematic review network meta-analysis. Methods Screening, data extraction, coding, risk bias assessment were performed independently in duplicate. Bayesian arm based, multilevel meta-analyses primary analyses. Quality evidence each was graded using confidence meta-analysis (CINeMA) online tool. Data sources Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO databases. Eligibility criteria selecting studies Any randomised trial arms participants meeting clinical cut-offs depression. Results 218 unique a total 495 14 170 included. Compared active controls (eg, usual care, placebo tablet), moderate reductions depression found walking or jogging (n=1210, κ=51, Hedges’ g −0.62, 95% credible interval −0.80 to −0.45), yoga (n=1047, κ=33, −0.55, −0.73 −0.36), strength training (n=643, κ=22, −0.49, −0.69 −0.29), mixed aerobic exercises (n=1286, −0.43, −0.61 −0.24), tai chi qigong (n=343, κ=12, −0.42, −0.65 −0.21). The effects proportional intensity prescribed. Strength appeared be most acceptable modalities. robust publication bias, but only one study met low bias. As result, accordance CINeMA very other treatments. Conclusions Exercise is an effective treatment depression, jogging, yoga, more than exercises, particularly when intense. Yoga well tolerated equally people without comorbidities different baseline levels mitigate expectancy effects, future could aim blind staff.

Background Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is characterized by its persistence, difficulty in control, and the tendency to focus on thoughts past events. It recognized as a key factor development maintenance of mental health issues such depression anxiety. A growing body research suggests that physical activity-based interventions may effectively reduce RNT. However, extent this effect mechanisms behind it remain inconsistent across studies. Methods This systematic review synthesized evidence from 19 peer-reviewed studies retrieved PubMed, Web Science, other relevant databases up December 2024. The objective was investigate efficacy reducing RNT, with particular influence intervention type, duration, frequency, intensity. Results found activity particularly when combined psychological training. Combined yielded greater reductions than alone. Moderate-to-high intensity exercise (30-60 min/session, 3-5 times/week) over an extended period most effective, likely due physiological, psychological, social mechanisms. Single-session showed limited effects, emphasizing need for sustained engagement. Notably, were more effective individuals depression, anxiety, or chronic stress, whereas effects healthy smaller variable, suggesting baseline symptomatology enhances benefits. Conclusions underscores importance designing protocols integrate both components achieve findings provide empirical support use involving training strategy managing Additionally, future should prioritize identifying optimal characteristics (e.g., intensity) addressing methodological limitations, inclusion diverse participant samples broader language coverage, comprehensive insights into strategies. These have important implications offer practical guidance developing evidence-based approaches
