Abstract
Multiple baseline evaluation of systematic aerobic exercise in the treatment of four clinically depressed women confirmed the value of this mode of treatment compared to an attention placebo. The methodology included control of expectancy, time in treatment, exercise effects, and the use of adjunctive treatments. The results suggest substantial exercise-induced effects on several qualities of depression, including mood and cognitive function. These gains were maintained at a 3-month follow-up evaluation.
