  1. Health benefits of physical activity: the evidence

    Darren E. R. Warburton · 2006 · Canadian Medical Association Journal · 8,079 cites

    The primary purpose of this narrative review was to evaluate the current literature and to provide further insight into the role physical inactivity plays in the development of chronic disease and premature death. We confirm that there is irrefutable evidence of the effectiveness of regular physical activity in the primary and secondary prevention of several chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, depression and osteoporosis) and premature death. We also reveal that the current Health Canada physical activity guidelines are sufficient to elicit health benefits, especially in previously sedentary people. There appears to be a linear relation be

  2. Physical Activity and Public Health

    William L. Haskell, I‐Min Lee, Russell R. Pate, et al. · 2007 · Circulation · 6,569 cites

    SUMMARY: In 1995 the American College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published national guidelines on Physical Activity and Public Health. The Committee on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabilitation of the American Heart Association endorsed and supported these recommendations. The purpose of the present report is to update and clarify the 1995 recommendations on the types and amounts of physical activity needed by healthy adults to improve and maintain health. Development of this document was by an expert panel of scientists, including physicians, epidemiologists, exercise scientists, and public health specialists. This panel reviewed advances in pertinent ph

  3. Overweight, Obesity, and Depression

    Floriana S. Luppino, Leonore de Wit, Paul F. Bouvy, et al. · 2010 · Archives of General Psychiatry · 4,353 cites

    CONTEXT: Association between obesity and depression has repeatedly been established. For treatment and prevention purposes, it is important to acquire more insight into their longitudinal interaction. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the longitudinal relationship between depression, overweight, and obesity and to identify possible influencing factors. DATA SOURCES: Studies were found using PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE databases and selected on several criteria. STUDY SELECTION: Studies examining the longitudinal bidirectional relation between depression and overweight (body mass index 25-29.99) or obesity (body mass index > or =30) were selected. DATA EXTRACTION

  4. Exercise, physical activity, and self-determination theory: A systematic review

    Pedro J. Teixeira, Eliana V. Carraça, David Markland, et al. · 2012 · International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity · 2,959 cites

    BACKGROUND: Motivation is a critical factor in supporting sustained exercise, which in turn is associated with important health outcomes. Accordingly, research on exercise motivation from the perspective of self-determination theory (SDT) has grown considerably in recent years. Previous reviews have been mostly narrative and theoretical. Aiming at a more comprehensive review of empirical data, this article examines the empirical literature on the relations between key SDT-based constructs and exercise and physical activity behavioral outcomes. METHODS: This systematic review includes 66 empirical studies published up to June 2011, including experimental, cross-sectional, and prospective stud

  5. Exercise and Physical Activity in the Prevention and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

    Paul D. Thompson, David M. Büchner, Ileana L. Piña, et al. · 2003 · Circulation · 2,144 cites

    R egular physical activity using large muscle groups, such as walking, running, or swimming, produces cardiovascular adaptations that increase exercise capacity, endurance, and skeletal muscle strength. Habitual physical activity also prevents the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and reduces symptoms in patients with established cardiovascular disease. There is also evidence that exercise reduces the risk of other chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, 1 osteoporosis, 2 obesity, 3 depression, 4 and cancer of the breast 5 and colon. This American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Statement for health professionals summarizes the evidence for the benefits of physical activit

  6. The influence of physical activity on mental well-being

    Kenneth R Fox · 1999 · Public Health Nutrition · 1,413 cites

    OBJECTIVE: The case for exercise and health has primarily been made on its impact on diseases such coronary heart disease, obesity and diabetes. However, there is a very high cost attributed to mental disorders and illness and in the last 15 years there has been increasing research into the role of exercise a) in the treatment of mental health, and b) in improving mental well-being in the general population. There are now several hundred studies and over 30 narrative or meta-analytic reviews of research in this field. These have summarised the potential for exercise as a therapy for clinical or subclinical depression or anxiety, and the use of physical activity as a means of upgrading life q
