Can provide relief for people with severe depression who have
not been able to feel better with other treatments.

premature death in adults and is predicted to
be the second leading cause of disability in
people of all ages by the year 2020.

both diseases, the only point to take
into consideration are their medications.
Depending on what the side effects are
trainer should plan accordingly (need to
have a detailed list of medications).
Medications effect on exercise
Beta-blockers:
Attenuation of HR response
Proxilin: Possible increase of blood pressure
Nefadzodone: Infrequent tachycardia,
hypertension, and angina pectoris
Antipsychotic medication: Possible gait
disturbances in relation to tardive dyskinesia, and
often dehydration
Antidepressants: Insomnia, weight gain, and
dizziness
Antianxiety medications: Drowsiness, potential of
alcohol effects, and withdrawal
Effects of a bout

affect patient.
* Important to consider primary diagnosed
mental illness and current medications.
Effects of training on disease
or patient with disease…
Improved
mood
Improved
self-concept
Improved
work behavior
Decreased
Improved
depression and anxiety
social networks
Exercise Testing
Extensive orientation to the exercise testing facilities,
personnel, and mode of exercise are a must.
Moods are ever-changing depending on what medications
they are on. Adjust accordingly.
Treadmills can be intimidating due to medications so bike
ergometers are better.
Measuring gas exchange is rarely if ever indicated,
especially because of possible anxiety.
Special considerations
-Allow time to practice the test or mode
-Understanding that anxiety disorders, social phobias, lock of
motivation are commonly caused by emotional conditions and
or medication.
-Emphasizing low to moderate intensity and enjoyment of
participation.

comorbidities are present.

dynamic movement activities.

20-60 minutes
*The prevalence of obesity, physical inactivity and
low self-esteem are high is this population structured,
supervised programs may be needs to reinforce
beginning stages of program.
Summary and Conclusions

by depression and anxiety.
Together they cost $125+ billion per year

Special considerations much be made when
planning exercise testing (should be enjoyed)
Medications (side effects) must be documented to
