Time: 20 and 80 mins
Length: 4 and 24 weeks

49
Q

What were the two limitations

A

1- lack of homogeneity across studies

2- Usual care may not have been similar across studies and NCDs

50
Q

What were the two strengths

A

1- Thorough search methods

2-Studies different on several levels (patient populations, quality…)

51
Q

lack of homogeneity was driven from what

A

driven by some large effect sizes and small sample sizes

52
Q

lack of homogeneity reduces what

A

Reduces clinical impact of findings

53
Q

Usual care may not have been similar across studies and NCDs. Attempts to reduce what

A

Attempt to reduce disparities using inclusion/exclusion criteria

54
Q

Studies different on several levels (patient populations, quality…) increases?

A

Increases generalizability of findings

Overall, aerobic exercise more efficacious than usual care. Most efficacious in CVD

56
Q

are Length of intervention, number of days and duration key factors

A

no

57

59
Q

What are the 3 - Physiological hypothesis

A

1-Monoamine hypothesis
2-Inflammation hypothesis

Explain the monoamine hypothesis

Exercise increases the availability of brain neurotransmitters

Q

monoamine hypothesis studies are conducted on who

A

animals. unknown if applicable to human brain

62
Q

A

Individuals with depression have elevated concentrations of pro-inflammatory biomarkers
Exercise has been shown to reduce these biomarkers.

63

Exercise leads to surge of endorphins

Reduce pain and provide state of euphoria

Distraction hypothesis: support for long term effect?

A

no

70
Q

2-Self-Efficacy Theory

A

Level of confidence that one feels it possesses to meet the challenge at hand
Confidence in one’s ability to exercise is strongly related to one’s actual ability to perform the behavior

yes or no

yes

72

Mere fact of exercising can make patients feel like they have achieved something

73
Q

Mastery Hypothesis mediator between

A

PE and QOL

74

Social relationships and mutual support provided to one another by co-exercisers might account for antidepressant effects

75
Q

Social Interaction Theory results

A

mixed, Could be more important for older people

76
Q 
4 Limitations of current studies
1- gap in
2- lack of studies 
3- most studies do not
4- Most studies dont look at whether exercise can..
A

Gaps in litterature regarding long-term effects of exercise

Lack of studies looking at potential mechanisms

Most studies do not assess for clinical depression

Most studies do not look at whether exercise can treat clinical depression

77
Q

4 reasons why good quality research is lacking

A

1-Not always a distinction between PA and PE (except in intervention studies)

2- Few studies intent-to-treat

3-Not always including a control group

4-Usually targeting low/mild depression

78
Q

Overall conclusion about ET

A

it provides moderate benefits

79
Q

What exercise is a good treatment of mild to moderate depression

A

Both high & low-dose aerobic exercise

80
Q

A

true

83
Q

should FITT be common or individualized

A

individualized

84
Q

In future: RCTs should include 2 things

A

allocation concealment

Intent-to-treat analysis

85
