Dr. Sean Portal - Physiologist and Clinical Dietitian, with precise tips for the period:
A study that examined over 120,000 individuals found a direct correlation between strength training and the reduction of anxiety and depression symptoms.
Strength training was found to be the most effective form of physical activity in dealing with depression and anxiety compared to any other physical activity.
So here are a few tips I gathered for you:
1. Strength training against depression and anxiety: Strength training has been found to be highly effective in coping with depression and anxiety.
2. Intensity improves results: The higher the intensity of the training, the more positive impact it has on symptoms of depression and anxiety.
3. 4-5 workouts per week: To achieve the best results, it is recommended to have 4-5 strength training sessions per week at moderate to high intensity.
4. Boosting serotonin to the brain: Strength training increases the release of serotonin to the brain, improving feelings of satisfaction, sleep, and appetite regulation.
5. Improvement within weeks: Light weight training can lead to significant improvement within a few weeks.
