Results Overview

CSP is a measure of cortical inhibition that is negatively related to anxiety, stress, and depression.

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

Eligible patients were approached for participation by a research coordinator from June to October, 2010. 86 eligible participants were approached for participation and 19 agreed (22% participation rate). Seventeen participants responded to the study poster. The 36 participants were randomly assigned to the exercise (n=18) or control (n=18) group.

Measure
Control (1hr of Viewing Emotionally Neutral Movie)
non-exercise control consisting of movie watching for 60 mins. the videos were short cartoon films considered to be emotionally neutral.
Exercise (1hr of Mixed-modality Exercise)
1 hour of moderate intensity exercise. The session included 5- min warm-up, 25-min of resistance training, 25-min of aerobic training, and 5-min cool-down. Each session was led by a personal trainer and supervised by an exercise physiologist.
