A large umbrella review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine analyzed 81 meta-analyses, 1,000+ randomized trials, and nearly 80,000 participants. The conclusion was clear: structured exercise shows significant positive effects on depression and anxiety across different populations.
Interestingly, supervised and group-based exercise often produced stronger antidepressant effects than training alone. For anxiety, shorter and lower-intensity programs sometimes showed surprisingly strong results, suggesting different neurobiological pathways may be involved.
