A study led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg showed that moderate and vigorous exercise can alleviate anxiety symptoms, even if the disorder is chronic
The study, currently published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, involved 286 anxiety patients who were recruited from primary care services in Gothenburg and northern Harran counties
Through a lottery, participants were assigned to a 12-week group exercise, ranging from moderate exercise to vigorous exercise
After the 12-week program, most people in the treatment group went from a baseline level of moderate anxiety to high anxiety to a low anxiety level
"There is a significant trend of improvement in intensity - that is, the more intense they exercise, the better their anxiety symptoms improve," said Marin Henriksen ( Malin Henriksson) said that he is a general medical expert in Harran and the first author of this study
The importance of strenuous exercise
Previous studies have shown that physical exercise can significantly improve the symptoms of depression
Under the guidance of a physical therapist, both treatment groups received 60-minute training three times a week
The goal for the members of the moderate exercise group is to reach 60% of their maximum heart rate-a degree of light or moderate exercise
These levels are regularly verified using the Borg scale, which is an assessment scale used to perceive physical activity and confirmed by a heart rate monitor
Need new and simple treatments
The standard treatment for anxiety disorders today is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychotropic drugs
The current research is led by Maria berg, an associate professor at the Sahlgrenska College of Gothenburg University, a general medicine specialist at the primary health care organization in the Västra Gätaland region, and the corresponding author
"Primary care doctors need individualized treatment, with few side effects, and easy to prescribe
