T/F: The analysis of a large epidemiological study done by Goodwin which shows that as levels of PA increased the likelihood of experiencing a depressive disorder decreased, reflected a dose response relationship

Which hypothesis for the exercise-anxiety relationship relies on changes in temperature?
thermogenic
What is the optimal dosage of in terms of type, frequency, intensity, and duration needed for anxiety reduction?
exercise of at least moderate intensity (>60% max) sustained for at least 20
Difference between mental health and mental illness
health - State of successful performance of mental function illness- Collectively, all diagnosable mental disorders
What % of adults suffer from some type mental health problem?
21
What % of adults suffer from some anxiety?
16.4
What is known for cross sectional & prospective studies associated with the relationship between (lack of) activity and anxiety?
More PA= Better mental health, lower trait anxiety, lower risk of symptoms
To reduce anxiety how long must exercise programs be?
any duration
What is the optimal dosage of in terms of type, frequency, intensity, and duration needed for anxiety reduction?
exercise of at least moderate intensity (>60% max) sustained for at least 20 Aerobic exercise, acute exercise affects state anxiety, chronic- trait, light-moderate reduces anxiety, vigorous increases it or doesn’t change it
What kind of exercise is best for anxiety reduction?
aerobic
Can exercise be useful in treatment of clinical exercise?
Yes, in studies it is shown as working better than the placebo and equivalent to the medication
Which hypothesis for the exercise-anxiety relationship relies on changes in temperature?
thermogenic approach
How long does exercise programs need to be to reduce depression?
No particular length resulted in greater reductions Longer programs showed increases _ in depression reduction
What is the optimal dosage of in terms of type, frequency, intensity, and duration needed for depression reduction?
Type: Modality doesn’t matter, at least 10wks, frequency: 3-5x/wk, intensity: aerobic 50-85, resistance training 80 duration: 30-60min, 45-60- is the best
Symptoms associated with mild-moderate depression
difficulty concentrating, d sleep, changes in appetite, fatigue, loss of energy
What is the basis for anthropological hypothesis as a mechanism to explain the exercise-depression relationship?
The relationship between PA & depression linked throughan evolutionary perspective Human beings are designed to be physically active so health problems might occur when they live a sedentary lifestyle
Which hypothesis for exercise-depression relies on changes in neuropeptide?
Endorphin
Definition of emotional wellbeing
When positive affect> negative affect
Emotion vs. mood vs affects
Emotions are short, antecedents/causes of emotions can be identified, more intense and Moods- longer course of time,come and go, sometimes unidentifiable cause, Affect- always present, more variable, thought process not needed to precede it, reflexive response
What was the rationale behind exercise-specific measures of affect/mood?
Dissatisfaction with general measures: other measures were not sensitive to exercise stimuli and assuming that exercise has unique and distinct properties
Primary vs. secondary exercise dependence
exercise itself to alter body composition
What is the basis for the energy conservation-sympathetic arousal hypothesis?
the effect of training is a decreased in sympathetic nervous system output (catecholamines), an increase in fitness can possibly result in a state of lethargy; this state is motivation to increase training dose less catecholamines are being produced
Based on what is currently known, is exercise dependence a widespread problem?
Difficult to study truly “dependent” exercisers
What's the difference between active stressor and passive stressor?
when the individual's response leads to particular outcome individual has no bearing of outcome
Can exercise training provide any useful benefits in the recovery process
Yes, only when the stressor is no longer present
Physiological toughness model: appraisal pattern (2)
seeing it as a challenge: catecholamine response > cortisol response-- derived from a sense of control & expected success
ch9 focus box
spinal cord injury would 9 mo exercise training program reduce their stress reducing pain through exercise, reduced stress
ch 10 focus box
people with copd reported reduced anxiety when exercise was added to edu and stress management
ch 11 focus box
HIV and depression depression decreased with exercise but 40% dropped out due to other factors being involved
