Nearly everyone can benefit from aerobic exercise, raising their heart rate into their “target zone” in the process. For patients with major depression, aerobic exercise can be an excellent treatment for the condition researchers say.

A review of existing studies published recently in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice discovered that aerobic exercise three to five times a week, 45 to 60 minutes per session, at 50 to 85 percent of the patient’s maximum heart rate can provide depression relief in as little as four weeks.

After 10 to 12 weeks, the antidepressant effect of exercise was at its highest. Since depression often limits motivation and energy, one way to keep on track with exercise-based depression relief is with heart rate sports watches from HeartRateMonitorsUSA.com which can help by indicating when an individual’s heart rate is in the recommended range.

Seeing success in the form of concrete numbers can also give a firm feeling that the patient is on track with treatment, boosting confidence in the outcome. Even though exercise requires a lot more effort than taking a pill, overall the studies reviewed indicated that patients kept up with exercise at about the same rate as taking antidepressant medication. Researchers noted that in any case, any amount of exercise is likely to be beneficial even if the target heart rate is not yet being met.
