Benefits of Physical Activity

  • Regular exercise (yoga, strength training, aerobic activity, etc.) is associated with reduced levels of anxiety and depression when compared to levels taken pre-exercise.
  • For the treatment of depression, exercise, when compared to prescription drugs, produces similar results as far as overall depression scores and likelihood of remission.


  • Reductions in anxiety and depression as a result of exercise can last up to 24 hours post-exercise.


  • Physical fitness is associated with a positive self-image, mental-health and well-being.
