SLEEP DURATION AND DEPRESSION AMONG ADULTS: A META‐ANALYSIS OF PROSPECTIVE STUDIES (2015, background): “[25] Furthermore, long sleep duration has been correlated to low physical activity,[26] which has been found to be beneficial in reducing the risk of depression via increasing levels of neurotransmitters (specifically dopamine and serotonin) and enhancing brain aminergic synaptic transmission,[27] i”

Effects of an outdoor education intervention on the mental health of schoolchildren (2012, background): “…effects could possibly be explained by counter-conditioning mechanisms, where initially negative stimuli (exercise) obtain positive motivational properties through the association to other positive stimuli (e.g. social interaction) and thereby influence general stress tolerance (Salmon, 2001).”

The effect of “green exercise” on state anxiety and the role of exercise duration, intensity, and greenness: A quasi-experimental study (2010, positive): “There is good evidence that regular physical activity contributes to physical and psychological health (e.g., Biddle, Fox, & Boutcher, 2001; Netz, Wu, Becker, & Tenebaum, 2005; Penedo & Dahn, 2005; Salmon, 2001; Scully, Kremer, Meade, Graham, & Dudgeon, 1998; Warburton, Nicol, & Bredin, 2006).”
Exercise after work, psychological mediators, and affect: A day-level study (2014, background): “We focus on psychological mechanisms, instead of physiological mechanisms (catecholamine excretion, opioid mechanisms, neurotropic processes; Deslandes et al., 2009; Salmon, 2001) that also might play a role as mediators of the affective benefits of exercise.”
