- Depression as a disease of modernity: explanations for increasing prevalence (2012, background): “Aerobic exercise has shown to be as effective a treatment as a standard antidepressant (sertraline) for MDD (Blumenthal et al., 2007), with those in the aerobic exercise arm of the study exhibiting a lower rate of relapse (Babyak et al., 2000).”
- Exercise for the Treatment of Depression and Anxiety (2011, background): “Blumenthal [48] conducted a randomized controlled trial in which they assigned 156 adults over age 50 to either aerobic exercise, sertraline, or both.”
- Depressive symptoms, health behaviors, and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease. (2008, background): “Exercise training can improve both depressive symptoms and markers of cardiovascular risk.(63,64) It is therefore possible that the combination of exercise therapy plus antidepressant medication may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with depression.”
