“…However, the findings and implications are limited by the variable quality of the reviewed studies. Three of the studies had a passive control group or no control group Taspinar et al, 2014;Wood et al, 2013) and only one study had longer-term follow-up (Melnyk et al, 2013).…”

Aim: The aim of this narrative summary was to examine the efficacy of physical activity and exercise as a universal prevention for depression in young people. Methods: We conducted a search of the literature in the open-access evidence database of controlled trials and systematic reviews in youth mental health, an initiative between Orygen, The National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health and headspace, National Youth Mental Health Foundation. In April 2018, we searched for all papers published between 1980 and 2017 relating to "Depressive Disorder" under the "Universal Prevention" illness stage and classified as "Physical activity/Exercise" under the treatment/intervention classification. Systematic reviews, randomized control trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials were all included. Results: A total of 11 papers were returned. Three of these studies were observational and eight studies were controlled trials. The reviewed studies indicate that exercise and physical activity might be an effective universal depression prevention intervention for young people. Three of the controlled studies had a passive control group or no control group and only one study had longer-term follow-up. No trial used a longitudinal design to determine if interventions prevent the onset of new cases of depression.Conclusions: The studies reviewed in the current review demonstrate a bidirectional relationship between physical activity, exercise and adolescent mental health. The results of the current review suggest that physical activity and exercise programs designed to increase the level of activity in young people should be implemented to be attractive and achievable to young people that may have poor psychological health.

Objective. The work, herein, sought to determine the effect of yoga on the quality of life of nurses working in intensive care units (ICU). Methods. This was a randomized controlled clinical trial of a preventive intervention of three weekly sessions of yoga exercises, which included aspects of meditation, breathing control, and slow body movements. The study selected 70 nurses working in ICU and assigned them to two groups: experimental (n = 35) and control (n = 35). The World Health Organization Quality of Life brief questionnaire (WHOQoL-Bref) was used to evaluate on four moments (baseline, one, two, six months after the start of the study); this scale has 26 items with Likert-type response options ranging from 1 to 5; higher total score indicates better quality of life. Results. The baseline score of quality of life in the experimental group was 62.3, which increased to 70.7 on the first month and continued improving in the evaluations on the second month (72.8) and sixth month (74.1), with this change being statistically significant. Instead, the control group showed no differences in scores of the different moments of evaluation (baseline = 62, first month = 61.9, second month = 62.4, and sixth month = 60.4). In the four domains of the WHOQoL-Bref (physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment), it was also noted that the experimental group obtained better scores over time compared with the control group. Conclusion. The intervention of yoga exercises was effective in improving the quality of life of nurses working in ICU.Descriptors: yoga; exercise; meditation; nurses; quality of life; intensive care units; randomized controlled trial; surveys and questionnaires; encuestas y cuestionarios.How to cite this article: Rostami K, Ghodsbin F.

“…Yoga participants had higher scores of baseline body satisfaction compared with other participants, but both types of exercise improved body satisfaction. The results showed a slightly greater improvement in the group of resistance exercise; however, differences between the groups were not statistically significant with respect to both initial and final measurements [22].…”

“…A PubMed search of the years 1990-2016 yielded only a few reports comparing the impact of yoga and other forms of physical activity on body image. One concerns Polish and Canadian women [19], anoth-er concerns men [20], a further one focuses on women treated for breast cancer who performed aerobics with or without elements of yoga [21], and two more were small-number studies that compared mixed groups of healthy women and men [22,23]. We found only one study in the general population of women [19].…”
