Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A control group (waiting list) of n = 16 including 8 severely depressed and 8 moderately depressed participants received no physical exercise.
For the remaining 44 participants (26 with moderate-intensity depressive symptoms and 18 with high-intensity depressive symptoms), two weekly Nordic Walking sessions of 1h were performed for 10 consecutive weeks.
Depressive symptoms were assessed using standard self-report questionnaires at various time points: 1/ enrollment (using the PHQ-9), and then (2) just before the beginning of the exercise intervention (pre-intervention; using the BDI-II), 2/ at the end of Week 5 (mid-intervention; using the BDI-II), and 3/ the day following the end of the exercise program (post-intervention)

Study Groups

Nordic Walking
2 weekly sessions of supervised Nordic Walking in a city park with trees, grass, and ponds. Exercise intensity was set at 65%-75% of age-predicted maximal heart rate. The length of training was consecutive 10 weeks
Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking (NW) is an aerobic physical activity where regular walking is enhanced by the addition of the active use of specifically designed NW poles. The physical strain is distributed in a balanced way to various muscle groups of the whole body.
