“…In a 12-week study of depressed outpatients, running was of equivalent benefit to psychotherapy, with patients showing significant improvements measured on the symptoms checklist 90 (Greist et al, 1979). Physical activity programs also appear to have therapeutic effects on mood in non-clinical populations of nondepressed individuals (Lennox et al, 1990).…”

Objective: To examine whether the psychological bene®ts of sports activity di er between tetraplegics and paraplegics with spinal cord injury, and investigate the e ect of frequency and modes of sports activity on the psychological bene®ts. Methods: The Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pro®les of Mood States (POMS) were administered to 169 male individuals with spinal cord injury (mean age=42.7 years) including 53 tetraplegics and 116 paraplegics. The subjects were divided into four groups according to their frequencies of sports activity; High-active (more than three times a week; n=32), Middle-active (once or twice a week, n=41), Low-active (once to three times a month, n=32), and Inactive (no sports participation, n=64). Results: Analysis of variance revealed signi®cant di erences in depression for SDS, trait anxiety for STAI and depression and vigor for POMS among the groups. High-active group showed the lowest scores of depression and trait anxiety and the highest score of vigor among the four groups. In contrast, no signi®cant di erence was found for any psychological measurements between tetraplegics and paraplegics. In addition, there was no signi®cant di erence for any psychological measurements among modes (wheelchair basketball, wheelchair racing, wheelchair tennis and minor modes). Conclusions: These ®ndings demonstrated that sports activity can improve the psychological status, irrespective of tetraplegics and paraplegics, and that the psychological bene®ts are emphasized by sports activity at high frequency.
