Depression has become one of the most common mental disorders in world. The rising incidence rate and disability pose a serious challenge to public health socio-economic development. Traditional medication psychotherapy are positive, but they often come with limitations such as side effects, poor compliance, resource constraints, which highlights urgent need for more proactive sustainable non pharmacological interventions. We mainly explored physiological psychological mechanisms exercise alleviating depression different age groups. In particular, we evaluated characteristics influencing factors each group compared pathways through works, aiming provide scientific basis clinical practice policies, strengthen application treatment management. It is worth noting that, context comprehensive search analysis recent literature, have covered epidemiology depression, impact on health, groups, specific ways alleviates mechanisms. Exercise symptoms by regulating neurotransmitters, enhancing neuroplasticity, hormone levels, reducing inflammatory responses pathways, well cognitive function, strengthening emotional regulation, triggering social interactions, improving self-efficacy pathways. differences among groups determine dependent mitigating depression. Teenagers, middle-aged people, elderly people can improve depressive neural progression, stress responses, support, respectively.
