“…A large population-based, cross-sectional study in South Korea found that those who did not report involvement in physical activity over the past year were more likely to report suicidal thoughts [ 63 ]. It is well known that acute aerobic exercise improves emotional regulation by improving the ability to attenuate negative emotions [ 17 ], enhancing resilience when dealing with life’s stressors [ 67 ]. Thus, exercise shows potential as an adjunctive treatment for people experiencing suicidal thoughts and should be investigated in future research.…”

“…Furthermore, aerobic exercise is also known to enhance the ability to regulate emotions through increasing executive function. In a randomized control trial, acute aerobic exercise increased the capacity to downregulate negative emotions in response to unpleasant emotional cues [ 17 ]. Regarding suicide attempts, a case-controlled study showed an independent protective association between physical activity and the risk of suicide attempts [ 18 ].…”

Background There is evidence that sleep disturbances and exercise are risk factors for suicide attempts; however, whether sleep disturbances are independently associated with suicide attempts is debatable. We compared the sleep and exercise patterns of individuals who attempted suicide to those of the general population and investigated whether sleep disturbances were independently associated with suicide attempts. Methods Over a year, individuals presented to the emergency department at Hamad General Hospital and Mental Health Services in Doha with suicide attempts (n = 127) filled out questionnaires on sleep and exercise, demographics, and clinical measures. A control group (n = 126) from two primary care centers filled out the same questionnaires during the same period. Results Subjects in the suicide group were significantly younger, single, had a lower level of education, and showed considerably more early insomnia, daytime tiredness, interrupted sleep, and no regular exercise. The most common diagnoses seen with suicidality were adjustment disorder and major depression, and the most common method used to attempt suicide was an overdose. After multiple regression analysis, being Arab, belonging to the category “other nationalities,” unemployment, and early insomnia were significantly associated with an increased risk of suicide attempts. Conclusion This is the first comparative study on suicide in the Arabian Gulf. Individuals in Qatar with acute stress, depressive symptoms, sleep disturbances, and lack of exercise are at increased risk of attempting suicide. Thus, clinicians need to routinely screen for sleep and physical activity because of their significant contribution to physical and mental well-being.

“…Feeling or mood, which is an important variable that can determine whether an individual continues or quits exercising [4], is highly influenced by various senses that are perceived while exercising [7]. If the exercise environment is comfortable, people's physical and psychological state will be positive, maximizing the effects of exercising and enabling them to continue exercising [9].…”

“…Moreover, there is a need to analyze the reasons behind why over 50% of participants quit exercising after approximately 6 months despite the psychological benefits [3]. The reasons may be attributable to various personal factors, social factors, exercise programs, and so on; however, the feelings or mood that is experienced during exercise may be a prominent issue [4]. In general, an individual's feelings are closely related to one's sense of happiness, how they address stressful situations, and quality of life [5,6].…”

We analyzed participants’ feelings and arousal before, during, and after exercise as per whether they receive aromatherapy. Twenty university students who regularly took part in health exercises were selected through purposive sampling. Changes in feelings were measured through a 2D circumplex model and an in-depth interview. The effects on exercisers who received aromatherapy were more positive than for those who did not receive any treatment. Specifically, it induced positive feelings during exercise, reduced fatigue during exercise, and improved participants’ feelings during the recovery period. Aroma has a key influence on exercisers’ feelings, and it can positively influence exercise satisfaction and persistence.

“…The role of aerobic fitness in particular is further underlined in an experimental study that focused on emotion regulation. After 8 wk of an exercise program that included aerobic exercise and yoga, gains in aerobic fitness mediated the social cognition benefits of the intervention ( 49 ).…”
