Abstract
Globally, mood disorders have an increasingly high occurrence. There are several treatments offered, including antidepressant drugs and behavioural therapy. However, in recent years there has been a growing interest in exercise as a potential treatment. This paper discusses the causes of depression based on monoaminergic and stress systems in order to subsequently evaluate the effects of exercise on mood by means of a literature review. There is much evidence supporting the idea that aerobic and anaerobic exercise have a stimulating effect on monoaminergic systems as well as BDNF and IGF-1 levels, dependent on the intensity and duration of the intervention which suggests that a personalized training program would be recommended. Exercise also influences the levels of circulating cortisol. Individual differences may also affect the effectiveness of exercise as a treatment and more factors are involved in depression. In short, current results are promising, however, more research is required to provide more details on how to use exercise in a treatment plan.
